Oh right...I'm Not on Vacation

Today began the first of our shooting weeks. We all came in and read our Director's Concept on what we would try to achieve with our film. Our professors gave us some legal documents to have signed and other forms that proved we were student filmmakers, and gave us some parting wisdom.

I myself still need to arrange when I will return to Berlin to shoot. However, I have the bulk of my footage already. So I opted to keep this weekend as the first weekend to relax and stay in Bonn, especially due to the fact that my body decided it couldn't keep up with me any more and I have developed tonsillitis or strept throat, not quite sure which. All I know is my tonsils look beautiful, and I can barely breathe or swallow. Yay!!

Regardless, tomorrow I'm off to Duessledorf to help Irene, one of the students with her project. She is shooting cage fighters, so I get to have a lot of fun filming people beating the crap out of each other, and the audience bathing in the glory of sweat and blood. Monday it looks like I'll be helping James on his project as well, which is about a comparison of US and German healthcare, as well as doing some work for my internship. On top of all of this, will be relaxing, and cutting together a teaser of my footage. (I'm currently logging....joy)

Well, that's that. Everyone is off all over Europe making some movie magic. So it begins...
