The Shoot (365- 50)

Some stills from yesterday's shoot.
A child Fly helps with Continuity:

Electra watching to make sure Orestes goes off to kill their mother: (Looking at it today, this reminds me of East of Eden.)

Yesterday's shoot was so much fun! Filmmaking, so far, reminds me most of all of being a kid and going over to friends' houses to play.
Except that as an adult, I'm constantly aware of what I'm doing wrong--I don't remember this from childhood. Didn't we just make stuff up as we went along and didn't second-guess ourselves? That's how I remember it. I'd like to get back to that.

This morning I looked up the rules for the 48 Hour Film Project because I definitely want to give it a try next summer. (Teams make 4 -7 minute-long films over one weekend. Registration is $135.)
Want to be on my team?
