Progress Update

Hey Everyone,

Thanks for taking the time to read my blogs. I’ve been a bit behind on this as I’ve been working hard in furthering my knowledge in this exciting entertainment industry. My photography knowledge has drastically improved as well as my film knowledge. With that, I finished 2 scenes for my short film and in the process of editing and preparing for the final scenes.

So what did I do in a short amount of time to gain massive to do all of this? I joined a film meetup group in westchester (very educational) thanks for the host Holly and I asked tons of questions and I spent a lot of my nights reading forums, articles, youtubes, and blogs for best practice techniques and understanding of the process. But 75% is trial and error as you really got to get out and just “DO IT”. I shot a practice scene and seeing how long it took me to do the post production gave me a better insight on what to do the next time around. Without having any film education, it was common sense to me to have a shot log, shot list, distributed crew for certain roles that I can’t do by myself, and etc.

So the moral of this blog is to show my progress as well as tell everyone that if you are reading this and if something inspires you, stop thinking about it and do something about it. Life is too short to be lazy in life (unless that’s what really makes you happy). If you want to know, yes, I do have a day job that I like doing as it supports my passion.
