The first fortnight of senior was about as boring as expected. Lots of paperwork, but luckily no homework. Film Production is easily my favorite class, but Participation in Government is a good second. My opinions are listened to!
The bum part of the year is getting on the bus after BOCES... and having 4 more periods of school.
All is good and right in the world however for not only did I watch Mad Max: Fury Road... I got it on DVD and Blu-Ray!
I took a political spectrum quiz in PiG this week. I have learned, to the surprize of no one, that I am seated comfortably left on the political spectrum.
I want to learn how to manipulate colors on video, so I can make everyone have teal skin!
As a link of interest I found a blog for the greatest critic of all time! http://insectsunderfoot.blogspot.com/?m=0
That's everything, see ya.

Psychological Mistakes of Filmmakers
This list is a bit more useful.
The best results come from an untainted mind so follow these simple rules to keep creative juices flowing. If you're at your computer all day it could stump you, so move around, eat, think, watch Mad Max, whatever just don't type all day cause consistency curbs originality. Next is most important. Stay true to YOUR vision and don't follow fads! That will date your movie and suck out it's soul. If the producer demands some stupid fad in your movie at least rework to a degree that strengthens the experience. Make everything count. Too much filler = inglorious bastards. Screw that movie. Stressing! Everything fails. If your not confident enough to go full force you fail harder. Don't be an arrogant jerk. No one will benefit and when you fail no one will want you back.
Good stuff. I really like the discourages the use of fads. Fads are why the Amazing Spiderman movie will be forgotten and the Sam Raimi Spiderman movies won't.

How NOT to Solve Procrastination
If you couldn't tell by the date of this blog, I am a carrier procrastinater. The article is a set of tips to help solve it so I thought it'd be useful.
First tip is to analyze the project as a whole.
Second is to make a list of all the stuff you gotta do.
Third: Internet is distracting
Fourth: Do the hardest first.
Five: Plan before you jump in.
Six: Break the task down to it's most basic parts.
These all assume I'm already working and am just stumped. If I'm procrastinating it's that I don't know what to do, it's that I don't FEEL like doing it. None of these will put you back in the groove. This article has done NOTHING to improve my work ethic.
