In class film 2

Other class shot their 3 pigs story today. Bigger class so I also had a sub group do a behind scenes mockumentary. Very different tone. They took much longer to get momentum, but they really got into the spirit of it.

painted without auxiliary flash

Painted this one wrong. Had other things to do so I didn't really put the polish on it that I would/should have.

In class film 1


 I cobbled together a line from each of the students' midterms (a 3 pigs story) into a surreal little skit and they shot it in class today. I went home and edited it afterwards.

Painting

Trying really hard to keep up the momentum. Doubting it though. Lots of grading coming up.
