The past several weeks have been quite busy in regards to class and other things.
The most important development was me and several classmates shot another short sketch called Made in China.
This sketch was shot in one day and we filmed it at Ryan Quinn's house who also starred in it. It's another one of Andy's ideas and it was an awful lot of fun to shoot, I did the camera work alongside Matt who did some as well. It was great using his shoulder rig for shooting, far easier and more professional than using the camera handheld.
Before it was made, it felt like it was going to be another very short sketch like Take Me Out Belfast but it wasn't. It was actually a lot more work than any shoot I've been on before and it was a tremendous experience. Ryan did a fantastic job of the 'hair envy crazy guy' and Andy's editing and sound effects were top class.
Even by looking at it, I feel very proud. It's the most professional looking film we've made I think and it lasted far longer than I thought it would. It's marked a transition I think for me and I hope to make a lot more shorts outside of class in the future.
