Weekly Update Questions.

How much time have you spent on your project?

I have spent around 7 hours on my project. I am busting my butt this week because I did fairly little work on my project since I was ill with the flu. I want to hit about 11 hours by the end of Sunday this week, just to kind of catch up.

What did you do for Hands on?

I've finished up on most of the promotional photo shots. I've uploaded four, and plan on uploading more and more every week, to hype people hopefully, and catch people's eyes. Aside from that, I have chosen the official skits I am going to do, and I am now picking and asking people to be apart of it. I hope to do filming this week.

What did you do for research?

For research, I've just researched claymation. It's a pretty cool style of filming, which uses clay models, and makes a film wit them. It's basically just stop motion filming, using clay models. There's a whole community behind this style, and a lot of cool videos behind this.

I don't know, I find it SO COOL! Especially since I used to be really big on making clay models when I was a younger kid. As well as one of my favorite movies, Chicken Run.

Were you in class this week?

Yes! I was present for class on Monday, and I plan to attend the red flag session tomorrow.

Did you meet with your mentor? What did you talk about?

No, not yet. I plan on meeting with her tomorrow morning though. Monday was our original meeting time, but she was busy with a meeting, so we switched to Tuesday. Unfortunately, I had a doctors appointment Tuesday, so tomorrow will have to be the day.

What do you think your fulfillment of WISE requirements was?

I think just getting back into the groove of WISE after being absent for a week was the main goal, which is something I have done well so far. I've been working really hard to make up for the lost time, and with luck, I'll be on track, if not ahead in no time.

What are your plans for next week?

"-Upload promotional photos to promote the film project

-Film an entire skit

-Edit an entire skit

-Perhaps release it as a promo, and get more people interested

-Do 5 blogposts, instead of doing just the regular 4 weekly posts.

-Learn something about film making I didn't know the week before

-Contact a source in the community"

This is my checklist for the next week. I especially expect to be done with everything on this list by the end of break.
