Today is shaping up to be one of the worst days ever.  I went to film my first graded project for Film Production 1 and didn't realize the kid who used the camera before me left the filter in the lightstick.  So I ended up over-exposing the entire roll of film.  I seriously don't know what to do.  I don't have any time to reshoot it and to get in

maybe the overexposure will give a neat look to the movie.
positive mindset in necessary to survival!

happy thoughts!

when you get it developed, ask cinelab to pull the film a stop.
pulling negates overexposure, pushing negates underexposure.
overexposing the film and pulling it a stop or two has a really cool effect.

the incident meters never work properly anyway,
so be optimistic.
the first one's always a killer.

I know about the pulling, but it's been overexposed 3+ stops. I'm going to try anyway and reshoot.

pull it by two and i bet you'll be surprised.
cinelab's got a fast turn around, i'd wait and see how it turns out before you rush into reshooting.
be optimistic! film's forgiving.

i'm assuming that your first project asks you to shoot on reversal instead of negative.
if you do, indeed, reshoot, ask brown if you could shoot negative instead so you don't have to wait for kodak.

oh, also,
i have two 100' loads of b+w negative, if you'd be permitted to shoot on negative out of circumstance.

i'd literally GIVE them to you, as they'd otherwise be sitting in the bottom of my desk unused.

what's "out of circumstance"?

So I don't use lj anymore...

But I love you, and I'm here for you to talk to. And you are good at film, you just haven't had enough practice yet. And I'm super-excited that you got a lead in a show and I want to hear more about it when you have time...and FGCU isn't the shitpile you make it out to be ;-) Smile, 'Stine...I'm here for you. =)
