Life has been extremely crazy-hectic for me these past few weeks! I’m involved with three incredible projects that have been taking up all of my free time, and some of my homework time too! (contorts face in mock pain)
Project 1: James Lee’s senior film. Its called “Ridgeback” and involves a monster in a crate. That’s all I’m at liberty to say right now. My job on the project is assistant set designer. Basically, James designs the sets and I offer helpful advice. Mostly, I’ve been cutting old wood up to nail to the walls of the “backstage” set that we’re in the process of building, which is turning out to be really amazing! Check out this picture!
Project 2: The Silver Chair. This is really going to be cool. It’s a one-hour adaptation of one of C. S. Lewis’s classic Narnia stories and we’re performing it on a minimalist set under a gazebo at night! Sam Gubitz, an incredibly crazy woman, is the creator and director and we’ve been practicing about 9 hours each week. I’m playing the part of Eustace Scrub. Its been demanding, but a lot of fun.
Project 3: Project London. One of my brilliant internet associates, Ian Hubert, along with producer Phil McCoy and Spiral Productions, are making a highly epic sci/fi flick up in Washington state. I managed to get a volunteer job on the crew doing sync work. I’ll be getting footage in the mail soon, which I’ll sync audio too. Not the most exciting job, but I’m still really pumped to be on the crew of such a potentially awesome film. Check out the project’s blog site here.
So yeah, lots of stuff going on for me right now. Life will be simpler after Silver Chair is over in November, but I’m loving every minute of it, I’m going on an on-location mountain shoot with James Lee this Saturday in North Carolina, which will be an incredible experience, and when I get the footage from Project London, I’m sure I’ll be really busy with that too. All in all I feel very blessed to have all these projects to work on and learn from.
