Where Have I Been? + Changes Coming Soon to This Blog

First post of 2018! In May...

Hello again readers! I've expected to write another blog post sooner, but if you've followed, you know that I've been working on my first feature film, "The Hidden," over these past few months. Well now, we are done with Production, and the editors are working hard and overtime in Post to finish it for the premiere. That means I have some free time to work on other things.

First of all, Mrs. Smith informed us all about creating a portfolio. Not a blog, but a website specifically for showing off our best work, specifically for the senior show. I'll still keep this blog up, and probably link to it, but just to tell you, that's coming up. (Future Ariel: This is my website).

While looking for videos to put in my portfolio, I realized something: I can do A LOT better than that. Recently, I've had a burst of creative energy which resulted in a new scripts. Plus some scripts I've written and pitched, but they didn't get anywhere past that. I'll make a few revisions and get a crew together. Altogether: 2-3 short film ideas. Originally, I didn't think I could work outside of class because I couldn't get a crew together, but dumbly enough, I just realized I'm in a whole classroom full of filmmakers. I probably don't need a huge crew for a few short films, and there's plenty of sources to find actors. So after The Hidden and during summer, I'll be busy working on short films.

Another thing: change up the layout and coloring of this blog, because it's always nice to improve your design skills and change up your blog a bit. I don't think this layout has changed in... 2 years probably? Yeah.

Well, that's basically it. Also "The Hidden" premieres on May 9th at a local theater. I'll write about that, probably as part of my reflection. School's out in a few weeks, so yeah. I'll keep it in mind to update over the summer about short film filming, so until then, see ya next time!
