Each semester we have a Film Genres class which is basically a screening of a film selected by a different faculty member each week. The following is an incomplete list of the films we watched (I can’t remember all the films) with some links to the complete...

I know I poorly explained the film projects we make during our film school experience before, but I think I have a better idea of how everything fits into the next two years (my class, the first year BFAs, graduate Fall 2008). F1 – Fall 06 – These are...

We had our F1 screening Thursday night at the film school, in the glamor lacking Mix A theater (the space wasn’t designed to be a theater, so the rows are tightly layered, creating one of the most horrible places to sit for prolonged periods of time). The...

Our F1s were shot with a Canon XL1, along with the rest of our weekend projects. It’s always been called a prosumer camera, and now we have a better idea as to why. >>Geek Speak Warning The main reason is a lack to set focus. The standard XL1 lens has auto-focus...

A nice list of idea killers. Probably intended for business folk, but it all applies in the writer’s room. Though I guess laughter would be good if you’re writing a comedy. Berkun blog >> Idea killers: ways to stop ideas

So it wasn’t the same day, but it’s a shorter period than before. I’m getting better. So onto the F3s, the next beast to conquer. The F3s are the first projects shot on film (okay, the F2s are shot on film but they have a lot of restrictions and no...

I’ll just ignore the fact that I haven’t posted in a while and jump right into the rules. As mentioned before, all weekend projects have had time restrictions, and also as mentioned before, they’ve generally been tossed to the wind (see rule number...
