The set construction for the 35mm production started today. I had to get up at 8 o'clock(!) in the morning, which I haven't done in two weeks. ^o^;;

Struck the set, built flats, built jacks, and raised the walls. Because I was the "Gaffer", I set the lights around the stages in order to work since the lighting classes had to bring down the house light. Whenever there's set design work, I think at least 10 people are standing around, doing nothing--smoke break or whatever. I'm not picking on anyone particular, except the works should be organized that people can participate in doing without wondering what needs to be done. There's so much coordination required in a film making. However, if you tell them what you want, people would get wrong idea and think you are being bossy. -.-++ Well, we are all equal students here, for time being.

The 16mm productions are starting. I saw their THREE sets at the sound stage 1 and... good god. Either the sets are not properly dressed, or the feel of the set is going for THAT look, but it looked bad, amateurish. Maybe they don't have talented art directors like we did, but their sets were nothing compare to our fine Silent Witness/Everyman's Story sets. Tragic.
