Finished!!!

Oh. My. Word.

I'm done! Finished! Yaaaaaayyyy!!!!!

Oh my, I'm so happy! My first Solo is done :D
Yesterday was the shooting, in the afternoon. I edited everything afterwards. So it was finished in less than a few hours time!

The best thing about it, though, is that I have now a week to fully concentrate on my exams. No more stressing about the Solo, no siree... Just quietly studying... *sigh*

Now, I'm going to try if I can get the Solo up for you guys to see... Please let me know what you think about it :-)

(I could use a little critique to prepare myself for that *mean-ass* jury at school)

Oh yeah, almost forgot, that song is from Regina Spektor. *She's a great singer*

So, let me know ;-)

Love,
Andi

The documentary is finished!

Wow... I really got up late this morning.

Erm... this afternoon, more likely.

Normally, when I don't have to go to school, I wake up rather early. Let's say, about 8.30 - 9.00. But today? Wow... It was 12.54 when I woke up. I'm shocked! Luckily my mom wasn't home. She left me a note on the table saying she went out to do some shopping and visiting a friend for her birthday.
I had just shoved a bowl of cereals in, when she got back. I said hi, we talked a bit and then she asked when I got up. Hahaha... I was too ashamed to admit it had been just 15 minutes, so I mumbled something.

Then I went upstairs to work a bit on my documentary. It's finished now, but I have some mixed feelings about it. Perhaps the music is a bit too sentimental, I really don't like my face (ugh!) and in the end, it isn't really a documentary in the strict sense of the word.
But, then again, I like how my family and friends are portrayed ;-)

What do you guys think? I'll post it at the end of this entry...

And with working on the docu, I hadn't much time for Nano. Oopsie. But I'll make it up by writing this evening. Wheeee :D
So now I'm still stuck on 3.134 words... I know it's not much... and I really have no clue how I'll ever reach the 50.000. *sigh*
I'll just have to keep on writing, I guess.

P.S: uploading this video was a real pain in the ass... Gah. I had to use Photobucket, but that means the quality is bad... I hope you don't mind ;-)

What classic movie are you?

I was visiting Frigga's blog, and when I saw her newest post, I decided I had to take that quiz too!
I mean, wheeeee, I wanted to know what movie I am. Turns out I'm an 'eeeeasy riderrr'. Yay.
See what it says? I just want to be calm, cool and comfortable. Yeah baby, you got that?

In the meanwhile, I went to shoot my documentary assignment for school today. Don't know how that's going to turn out. I'll have to see, I guess.
So now, for the rest of my day, I'm going to divide my time between editing the documentary and writing on my Nano project. I have 2.415 words, btw.
Only 47.585 words to go.... *whee*

Oh My God!

Ooooh, i have such good news!

I got through my entry exam! Yay!! Partyyy!!!

I'm so relieved. Finally an end to all the stress. Yesterday we had the interviews. Each candidate had to present his/her movie to a jury. Pretty much like 'Idols'.

I was very nerveous. Hands shaking, turning red... horror! Anywho, when it was my turn, the jury seemed friendly. And not grumpy or cranky like the other candidate-students who went first, had told.
I played my vid and afterwards there was... silence. Until one jury-guy exclaimed: "That was a very ok movie! Very very ok!"

Ok, turning red again... But then we talked a bit, and they seemed really interested. And still very friendly. I think they liked me, heh heh heh.

Then today, I had to go back, for the results. They called out the names of everyone who passed the test. My heart was pounding in my chest like a madman. I knew that the interview had gone well, but still...
They went through the list of names, I heard my name, and oh man! I was smiling! Smiling, smiling, smiling! Wooptidoo...

Stien promised me a party if I passed this exam. So now it's party time. Yeah! Everyone who is in the neighborhood is invited. I'll post the date once we have it. Meanwhile, I'll crack open a bottle of our finest wine and get very drunk this evening!
Hahaha, probably not, but it would be very student like :-D

Everyone, enjoy your evening!
I'm sure I will ;-)

I'm baaaa-haaaack!!

Oh yeah, dear dear children, here I am again!

Wanna see what I did (except for moving in to the new house) these last few days?
I made a video for my upcomming exam. That big entry exam for film school, remember? Well, they sent me a letter last week, right in the middle of the most stressing point in the whole moving thing. They wrote that I had to make a video for them. About the entry exam. Max 3 minutes.

At first, I totally freaked out. I had to make a movie in a few days? It was never going to work! Never! I was ready to give up and totally forget about everything. I wanted to crawl into my bed and never come out again. Yeah, I was that miserable, you go figure :s

But after a few talks with my friends, Stien and Tina, I saw a tiny light in the distance.

This is what I came up with, the end result:

And no worries: No mice were harmed during the shooting of this film ;-)

I'm so very relieved that it is done! Tomorrow is the big day, so yay!

No, not really yay :-(
I'm sooooooooo nerveous! Biting my nails, and stressing out. That's not healthy. I'm sure I'll have to go to the bathroom A LOT tomorrow. I can feel it in my gut!

If you would like to comfort me, you can always tell me how great I am, and my movie, hahaha... *snort*

Anyway,
I'm back ;-)
