Understanding Hugo: The process

Friday we shot and shared films we made and I was stunned by everyone's, astounding work, everyone. I loved, loved, loved Jaques' Quest. Simply hysterical, I underestimated the newbies completely. It was like you guys knew what you were doing, way before even working with anyone veteran STACies on film making, kudos.

Understanding Hugo was a film that was based solely on costumes. If we were in our normal everyday clothes, it would have been horrible. We also had to make an adjustment due to our time frame, so we cut a scene I believe. We would practice the scene before filming it and then we'd shoot it. I would get a bit impatient sometimes and try to rush the others in my group, but even though we finished our movie last, I felt comfortable with the time we were given.

I liked shooting the film in order from first to last, it made things flow more, I knew what to expect and how to handle it. Running off an idea that was said about taking the film we made and make it serious, I'm not crazy about it. Understanding Hugo is a great humorous film, but in a serious context, I'd want nothing to do with it.

For the future: I think we should keep this process. Especially for the serious film, but maybe start working the second we get in and not wait. Bring in our stuff the day before, and get straight to work.

Once again, great job everyone, ya'll done good.
