Day 23: Filming for TSA

As TSA is due the Monday we get back, my group and I went to Red Bank for the final day of shooting. Our event is called "Digital Video Production," and our video, with the required theme "follow the rules," is about a guy who finds an hourglass that can stop time. My group is made up of four juniors, one sophomore, and one freshman (me!). So since most of the other members have had lots of experience on shooting and editing film, I'm mostly observing, but I also act as one of the characters in the video.

We finished our final scenes today outside and inside an antique shop, one of the major settings for our story. Now as the juniors edit the scenes together, I'm contributing to the documentation of the making of our film. This project was really fun, and I'm really excited to see what our final product will look like!!

Day 14: Busy Weekend Ahead...

Sorry for not posting anything yesterday. I was way too busy. And this weekend I will be busy as well. Tomorrow will be the high school all-states orchestra audition. My audition time is 11:45, and as many violinists will compete against me, the auditions could take a few hours as I wait in line just to play for thirty seconds. If the auditions don't take too long, I plan to possibly go over to Allison's house and work on a Latin project with her (if not, then we will split the work and do them separately). Then I will leave for dinner and kungfu class at 5:00 and come back at around 9:30.

Usually I have a violin lesson on Sunday morning, but because the audition , there will be no lesson this weekend. However, that morning I will have to go to Red Bank to work on TSA with my group. I'm part of digital video production, and we'll be filming that day. Afterwards, my local orchestra, will begin rehearsal at 4:45 for a concert that starts later that evening.

All of this wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the homework I received for Bio, English, World History, Math, and Latin. Hopefully I can squeeze in time to finish all of this without sacrificing too much of my sleep time. I'm actually being quite productive today; usually on Friday evenings I try to do the least work possible.
