Perks of being a film student. - Vareal - 07-27-2010
So I was on set for the first, and pretty large, shoot of my senior project. We're out in the middle of nowhere in an abandoned subdivision (no houses, everything is over grown, it's really cool looking) and the hot Florida sun is beating down on us, but we're pushing through. So about five hours into the shoot, after my main actress shows up a fashionable 3 hours late (she got reamed for that one), the cops show up. Oops, didn't get a permit to film.
There's two of them, one goes back to our staging area where I've got two actors sitting in the shade, and one stays with us. After about 15 minutes or so, the second cop comes back then, after taking my ID again, he calls me over to the car and asks me if I have anything sharp on me, or anything that will poke him and, I shit you not, asked me if I had any thermal nuclear devices on my person. Ok, so red flag. Then he proceeds to search me and acts as though he's going to arrest me. Then, out of no where, he pats me on the back and says he's kidding. o.O
One of my other actors put them up to it. So they let us go and told us we had to pack up shop. So thats my story.
Gotta love actors ;/ I gotta kick out of it though. And, speaking of films, check this out: http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/wb/suckerpunch

Looks promising... but with the butthole they have for a director, I fear it may suck...
Re: Perks of being a film student. - Vareal - 07-27-2010
Yeah, it was an interesting experience
the rookie cop was totally awesome though. He was all like: "Fuck it, we don't wanna fill out the paper work, get outta here."

I try not to look at the directors anymore, it ruins the experience before it begins. After 'The Last Airbender', I've 100% completely given up on M. Night. Inception was amazing though.

Going to try and see Inception soon, I hear good things.
Was the Last Airbender that bad? I had such high hopes, I love the cartoon

Dude, the tv show is amazing, the movie sucks big fat monkey balls. It's horrible. There are not enough words in the english language to describe how horrible it is. Although, the effects of the waterbenders was pretty fun.

Indeed, and there's talks that he's doing a trilogy out of it. Maybe he'll learn his lesson from this epic failure, maybe not. We'll see.

make sure to read the stuff below the picture if you're a fan of the show, it points out a lot of the major flaws.

I thought it was ok. Not great but not horrifyingly bad. 2.5 stars.

A FILM STUDENT?
Neato.
I've been planning on getting my associates degree in film once I move out to Los Angeles and get settled in. :>
Re: Perks of being a film student. - Vareal - 07-28-2010
I'm gettin' me a Bachelor's of Fine Arts Degree in film... of course my school is kind of a joke, but oh well. Don't tell 'em I said that. lol
