Sigh, didn't take any shot today ....

I planned on spending today to do some shots for my little 1 minute short film. But then so many other stuffs keep me from working on the plan:
  • Figure out how to make fake body fluid (blood ... and so on) for the short film.
  • Figure out if Adobe Premiere can directly load Adobe After Effect product (yes, it does :-D )
  • Find all the clip art and video for the film (bees, roses ....)
  • Find OSX 10.5.5 on VMWare, and installed iPhone SDK 2.2 in it (Success)
  • Went to Walmart to buy materials to make fake body fluid
  • Brought a Blue Full Fitted sheet set for my mattress , and thought of using it as a blue screen, and found it TOTALLY failed, so returned it, and brought just a fitted sheet back. This is probably what took most of my time today.
  • Tested to see if I could do my acting on to top of the mattress box instead of on the mattress. Well, it failed, and I created several HOLES in my mattress box. Not that it would affect it's function as a mattress box, but still it's kind of lame. So next time when I try to do shots, I either do it on my mattress, or I have to roll up everything and do the shot on the ground.
Well, maybe this is a good thing. I really should write out the storyboard before I take any shots. I shouldn't rush and jump right into doing shots.
