I kept meaning to post. Honestly, I did. I don't know how many blog posts I half started, but I did start them. I just never actually finished them. :x
So now I will post something! Even if it isn't of a literary nature.
Yesterday was my first day volunteering for a local film company.
I got to do the clicky thing at the beginning of takes!
<-- You know, that thing. Which is in fact called a slate. And I only messed it up twice! XD
I also met and had lunch with Michael Ironside. No one seems to know who he is (I had to IMDb him) but he's been in a lot of stuff. I actually recognized his voice more than his face.
But anyway! He told me film business was like elephant excrement, give or take a word, and I should run while I could before the stink got stuck. I'm pretty sure he was kidding. :P
The good news is I'm a smidge more certain that I'm doing the right thing by planning to apply to film production programs in uni. Since I've only got a month left to make up my mind, any minute increase in certainty is a very, very good thing.
Oh! There was also uber delicious chicken for lunch! Point 2 for the film industry! They feed you!
So anyhoo, there we have it. My awful, tiny, un-writing related blog post.
*IMDbs Michael Ironside*
ReplyDeleteWow, you had LUNCH WITH HIM? that is really cool. And I loled at the elephant excrement part.
Good luck with film production :)
Becca, that is SO cool! Have fun hanging with the stars in five years ;D
ReplyDelete=D Hehe. Thanks, guys!!
ReplyDeleteOMG! I know who he is!
ReplyDeleteAnd I didn't have to google him ;)
That sounds like sooooo much fun!
Yes, I know exactly who Michael Ironside is. But that's because I'm older than you. LOL. So, is he playing a good guy or a bad guy? Congrats on the job.
