More Duct Tape?

      Well... the set fell down during the show... A set that we spent a good hour or two on. It's frustrating because we tried on this project and it just seemed like it was futile. It doesn't help that everyone feels bummed out afterwards for it seems like the group morale just went down the drain.

     Honestly, I think we did a pretty decent job. It wasn't excellent or ideal, but it should be something we're satisfied with. Although a lot of things went wrong, you have to look at the brightside. What did we learn? That we definitely need a run through with our talent first. Not because they messed up necessarily but because I need to make sure we both know that we can communicate with each other well. When I was telling them to wrap it up and say bye, they thought I was saying cut. As you can see, that causes a problem. So our first decent take was ruined by that. The last take, we went over by five seconds. That doesn't seem like a lot, but it is. In business, going over your time limit isn't good.

     Aside from going over the show with the talent, we should have gone over the shots with the others as well. The final shots seemed okay but at the beginning, the dolly shots had to be changed. Everything just seemed last minute and procrastinated on only because we made ourselves feel that way.
     I don't necessarily think it's anyone's fault really, and I'm not just saying that to be nice. It seems around this time everyone starts placing the blame on someone or themselves and that doesn't really help anyone. It's better to put your head up high and keep on trying at it. It was our first time after all and the nerves probably go to us. Not to forget to mention that my headset got caught in Jose's camera and I tripped. -___-.
     Basically, we didn't prepare. We didn't procrastinate at some parts. Aka, making the scrapbook and etc.
       Do I like live-shows? So-so. I think we need more practice. Do I think we can do better next time? Yes.
      So I slept on it for the whole day today (it's 3:36 AM as I type this) because my heart's pretty torn at how our group effort seemingly went *make crash noise here*. I hope everyone feels better by today. Because I say we move on, not because we're giving up, but because we have to in order to get going and make other awesome things. I guess this is something I've learned in the last project.
