We are at the point in the semester where everything starts to build up. There are about four weeks left and it all comes at once. To sum it up, it's crunch time. For my capstone, aka the class that my entire major and program builds up to and relies on, the task was to take the entire semester to create, produce, package, and premiere an original film. Basically we have free range to do whatever our little talented hearts desire. TV series. Fiction. Narrative. Documentary. Artistic exploration. Anything. I am lucky enough to be assistant directing and co-producing an incredible project with a team of professional guys. Yes, I'm the only girl on the crew. That's a whole other project centered around sociology courses on gender studies. But none the less, our film is phenomenal. I adore all the boys I'm working with and appreciate their talent and consider it a privilege to have my name on this baby. We spent the first month of the semester shooting for 12 hours a day every weekend. An active social life disappears when your thesis is being produced. It was more than worth it though, because now as everything is getting almost unbearable we are in edit and taking it easy. We have plenty of time to finalize every little detail. Right now we are in one of my favorite aspects of post-production. Music composition. And to make my producing experience that much better, we are working with the most talented composer I have ever met. The best part, he is one of my dearest friends. I've been able to make music with him a few times before, and I frequently jam out to his club bangers on my iPod when I got running. Oh, and he's the hottest DJ on the ones and twos downtown every weekend.
Talented is an understatement when talking about RG. His passion and creativity radiates off of him. The beats he creates are so effortless while at the same time taking your breath away. Our film is being skyrocketed to the next level because of his soundtrack he is putting together. So today, I went down to the studio and sat with him to just observe his creative process, offer him some comedic relief, give my producer opinion here and there, and give him someone other than his keyboard to talk to. It was such a joy to be there with him. Nothing like relaxing with a friend and collaborating on artistic opinions. So I snapped a photo of him while he was in the middle of his flow.He caught on a turned right as it snapped.
RG is a doll. I adore and admire him like no other. Talk about a dream team, we are going to be making and producing music together in the near and distance future and going to do a hell of job at it for that matter.
