about me

Practically imperfect in every way. Start with a lot of silliness. Mix in some insecurities and a handful of awkwardness. Add a pound of naivety, innocence, and child-like wonderings. Blend well. Half-bake and top off with a sprinkle of imagination and dollop of dreams. It’s the recipe for me!

And I believe that our education like, such as South Africa, and, the Iraq, everywhere like such as. And I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., or should help South Africa, and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children."

Less Than Five!

March 27, 2005

Filming on Thursday was, in a word, BAD. When I got home that night, I felt like emailing my director to apologize for giving such a bad performance. It wasn’t just me though. Two people kept forgetting their lines. We were all very tense. I only messed up one line, but it was the most embarrassing mistake I could have made. You may remember I mentioned that I got the role the writer of the script (Megan) had wanted for herself. Well, the script called for my character, Madison, to be kissed by the character Alex, who, by no coincidence, is played by Megan’s boyfriend, Eric. Anyway, he’s supposed to kiss me, but I’m supposed to push him away and say, “God Alex, don’t do that!” When we rehearsed it, we didn’t have everyone standing there watching, and even then, it was awkward. But when we filmed it, everyone was standing right there. Eric was tense, and I had been unable to get into character all night. So we get to the part where he kisses me, and I push him away. Then I said, “God Eric, don’t do that!” I didn’t even realize I said the wrong name until everyone was laughing. Megan wasn’t really laughing though.

Things went much better on Friday. I think part of the problem was that we were filming out of sequence. I expected we’d film the scenes out of sequence, but we had been filming each character’s lines out of sequence. What I mean is, the director would point the camera at one of us and tell us to read all our lines for the entire scene. Then, she’d move to the next person and have them do the same thing. I felt like I was reading lines, not becoming a character. I think everyone must have felt the same way, because on Friday we all decided to read our off-camera lines to help each other out.

My director anticipates that we’ll finish up almost everything next Thursday. I’ll probably get to do my first death scene then, but my second death scene will most likely be scheduled for a different day.

    I’ve heard that when movies are filmed, they just point the camera at the actor and they do their lines without the other actors there. It always sounded very difficult. I sort of assumed that films were shot like sitcoms–you know, a three camera system where all the actors were there the whole time. Good luck. I’m glad you and the other actors are working it out and supporting each other.

It’s the spark of an idea that hits me unexpectedly. It’s the silly wonderings I have after a whirlwind of thoughts. It’s about creativity, inspiration, and imagination. But sometimes, it’s just about eating noodles.
