First Day of Filming

It's not you being old. Actually working through work is an extremely helpful tool in the learning process, I agree.

Anywho, hello! What an interesting day it's been.

Today we had our first day of filming on Duck TV! How exciting. It felt quite professional, even though it was just a few college kids. Still, I thought it was exciting.

One of the things I learned today was why I happened to get the lead role. I was told, "Most of the people trying out were theatre kids, with over the top actions. Your performance was more subdued, and more suitable for the television. Well, that certainly got me excited, especially since I've been critiqued for being too over-the-top. Perhaps I'm learning? I'm not sure.

I've learned I like being on a set. I like hearing critiques about what I can do better for a scene. It's fun. Especially if you're in your pajamas.

The truth is though that I'd still like to get more experience in production, simply because I find it fascinating. Still, I have no experience in it. I should get on that.

Another thing I discovered today? No one really knows about Duck TV. Actually, this wasn't much of a discovery, since I hardly knew what it was before I jumped into it. Sure, it's not that well known. But it's an interesting experience, and simply experience in general. Experience in something useful? We'll see.

That's pretty much it. Tomorrow we're filming again, and hopefully we get everything done then. We have until the 29th, but still. It's nice to have a feeling of completion.

In other news, I'm getting a lot better at names. Remembering them, but prononciation? Not so much. Oh dear.

What's an interesting experience you had in college that wasn't necessarily school-related, yet was only available in the college setting?

An Off Day Surprise

Life is getting good, and life is gonna get busy soon. I'm happy about it.

Seeing as it was MLK day and we had no school, I stumbled towards the vacation mode again. Thankfully, I think I'm fading out of it. Club meetings are starting up again, events and such are getting set up... we're starting to get into schedule mode. Aw yeah.

One of the things that I've added onto my plate? Which I've kind of been hinting at?

Well, there's this thing called Duck TV here where they produced 30 minute shows. The shows include news, sports, and sketches. Guess who tried out last week? And guess who is now a cast member of the comedy sketch part?

Yep! I'm so excited! It'll be a great experience seeing a show put together, and I bet it'll be fun!
Honestly, when I saw the email this morning I wasn't sure if it was real. (I didn't sleep very well, so I was in a haze). But it was, and so... we'll see how this turns out!

Any exciting updates in your lives?

The Lacklusterness of Tuesdays and Not the Best Motivator

Hello everyone! How has your Tuesday been?
The last two days seem to have flown by for me. The days have felt very fast... but it's still only Tuesday. It's the opposite effect of last week where the day felt long, but the week was short.

So yesterday as I said, I tried out for something. The something was another school play but alas... I did not receive a callback. It stinks yeah, but what can you do. The thing is, I didn't do that badly. Sure I wasn't the perfect shining star, but I did okay. I have to say, I'm getting better every time.
However, I didn't think about that when my sister laughed at me saying, "Well I guess we know that's not your forte."
Sure, I know she meant it jokingly. Plus, maybe it's not my best talent. But I do not like to have my interests laughed at and completely shot down.
Let's be honest. There's probably no way I could make a career out of acting. But can't I have a hobby? Pish. Besides, the only way I could get better is by try, trying again.

Ranting aside, it's been kind of an eh day. Nothing too exciting, nothing out of the ordinary. It's a Tuesday. Has it ever been the day of epic occurances? (Other than my birth. I feel like my tuesdays should be greater due to that one aspect.)

I feel like I'm back in my winter break funk of not knowing what to write. Writer's block? Perish the thought!

Has your Tuesday had any epic occurances?
