Equipment Class 101 & Video

Well it has been two weeks since my last post.  I think that is how I will "roll" with my blogging. In the near future, I will get to once a week.  So let's talk film equipment.  If you are reading this, I know you are thinking---"Why" do I want to read some blog on "Film Equipment?"  Well, well---Let me just tell you if you have tuned in.

We never went over how "the stunt" was performed on my chair but we will save that one for another blog!!!  Because, I promise you there had to have been someone who knew how to build an amazing prop.  I bet you are wondering, did I leave the class as a bonified Film Director, Film Producer, Grip Person, Lighting Expert, Camera Expert, and oh the FILM list goes on....?????.....

Well the answer is---- I know you are waiting-----NOT YET.  Answer IS:  I did leave with more than I came in to the class with.  So there it is wrapped up in that one line.  I believe THE JOURNEY is just beginning into a Film World that I can only imagine.  So until next time---keep reading!!!

Hope this enlightens you as well!  I am really proud of this farmer to stand up to the entertainment industry!!

Film Class Folly

Well I am at Regent University as some of you know.  I am studying Film and Television but this weekend I became a "Stunt Woman."  Imagine this--You are setting in class going about your business.  The instructor is leading the class and the students are listening to all that the Instructor has to say!!!  Because we all want to be great Film Directors, Producers, Editors and Camera Operators.  When in a flash the instructor and students see the chair explode----For real it exploded. 

I thought someone who ever that might be maybe rigged my chair......Because NO JOKE----

The chair I was sitting in just blew out from right underneath me?  I know you are laughing as you are reading this because it was a sight to be seen.  I knew something was wrong when I picked that darn chair.  It felt kinda wobbly and not very stable.  As if it had been lovingly set in way too many times!!  I promise you the bolts literally popped out!!

 I guess I will never know why that chair exploded.  Where was the YOU TUBE opportunity on that one.  We should have had cameras rolling because it would have been VIRA.... Until next time---so I guess the right lingo would be CUT.......Hopefully you love this video!!!  Cause I love it as it is so funny!!

Well until next time--- I hope that the Movie Making Mojo that I am aspiring to gain from Regent Film School will kick in soon!!!!
