I don't care what your teachers say that's one of the most adorable movie's I've ever seen and I know what blood, sweat, and tears have gone into it *hugs* you should be proud of yourself :) I hope you make more movies, I really do. It seems to be a way you have found that you can express yourself...and honestly you're acting in it is wonderful!
Oh, believe me, it is very easy to watch it and pick twenty different things wrong with it. But I decided to post it early because it was as complete as I could physically get it, and I did not want to be caught up in an endless cycle of editing. At some point you just have to stop tinkering with it and let it go.
I think a beginning drama student would look at my acting in the video and take note that I am acting in exaggerated gestures. Not that I care because I dislike being in front of the camera anyway, but sometimes a bit of subtlety is good.
Yay! Well you must be very relieved and proud to have it finished and completed and to have done pretty well. Sorry to hear that that first part of lecture was insanely boring though. I hate when that happens haha.
Yeahhh I need to learn how to save my money better. I've always had this problem though, ever since I got a credit card when I was 18 haha.
Well, truth be told, it is never really finished or completed. Even now, I sort of sit and fret as to whether I have cut the shots right or done everything I should. I just figured "fukk it, I will just post it and be done with it". And I must admit, it was very surprising to be bored in a lecture for this particular subject.
Can you believe that I have never really had a credit card? I have had a credit facility, but not an actual card. Now that I think of all the things I would have purchased if I did have a card, I am kind of glad. :D
I've never had a credit card either, and I'm 43. Lately, especially with the recent economic trouble, I hear ads on the radio constantly at work promoting debt-consolidation services, and I am thankful I have no debt other than a few past-due utility bills. :D
I too would love to have my brain scanned continually over a period of a few days, just to see if I am as "different" as I think I am. Unlike you, I don't need a lot of external stimuli, instead I am constantly generating it in my imagination (at the expense of my so-called real life, which cannot compete with the interior one). Wish the world knew what to do with us, in a different time or place our brains might be highly valued for their strange abilities. *grumble*
That is the basic problem with credit. It is way too easy to fall into a trap of promising people more money than you can pay them in a reasonable time frame (or at all). Much of Heinlein's For Us, The Living is spent bitching about the ability of banks to lend out money they do not actually have.
The value our brains are assigned in life is often correlated with the value of the brains we are surrounded by. People talk about the successes of people like Tim Burton or Steven Spielberg, for example. But neither of these men could have made their first films if someone did not see them and think "maybe I could make money distributing this man's work". Which, if you have seen Pee Wee's Big Adventure, is quite a funny thought.
I guess I am surrounded by the wrong brains then. I quit the vocational rehab by voicemail, haven't heard anything back. After years of praising my abilities they ultimately did very little to change my situation. If I were the rude type, I would have ended my voicemail with this question: "You're not a chimney and I'm not Santa, so why did you blow all that smoke up my ass?!" :P
Most of us are, unfortunately, surrounded by the wrong brains. In fact, being surrounded by the right brains is generally either a happy accident or a side effect of having a wealthy family. And I can always call the vocational rehab and ask them that question on your behalf. I would actually be very curious to hear how they answer it.
Oh wow, they would freak out at that! Heehee...I will give the woman some time to respond, since the first time I tried to leave a message her voicemail was full, maybe she has been on vacation and getting her messages once a week. I do think she needs to change her cheerleader method of dealing with people and STOP saying "You can do ANYTHING!!!!!" when in fact the whole @#$% purpose of people's being there is that they CAN'T do it all alone. Eh, off to a 12-hour day at my two low-skilled dead-end jobs that I will be working at until I drop dead...:P
