Young

It's been a hot second since I've picked up the camera. After an unexpected break of a couple of months, I decided to test out the easyrig that the department offers in an attempt to experiment with the style of filmmaking for my final project. While I did not have a plan to do more than edit the test shots together, I ended up creating something out of it. It was a rather grey day when we filmed, which juxtaposed the playground and skaterink that we were running about in.

Because of this, I ended up doing something with the theme of reflecting on childhood, as this was something that I intend to look at in my final project as it focuses heavily on family and parent-child relations. It became a reflective, non-narrative piece of lacking a fulfilled childhood, and reliving a lost childhood as an adult.

I feel a bit lost regarding my final project, to be completely honest. Even as I post this, I wonder if this is even going to be relevant. My feedback from my last semester was rather disappointing, and I am unsure if I'm meant to (or want to) continue the project that I've been working on. I find myself in a constant disagreement of what I 'should' be doing- something that shows artistic value of some sort- and what I want to be doing, which is experimental comedy pieces.

I was attempting to toe the line with Circuits, but it was less than satisfactory, and I'm feeling quite disheartened about that particular project. It's been a bit of a wild ride for the last few months and I'm not out of the woods yet, but hopefully I'll figure something out.
