It’s almost 1am, I’m not yet done editing photos its past the deadline, then shoot the next day. Out of nowhere this film just popped in mind. “New York, I’m thinking of New York Film Academy again, Maaan I’ve always wanted to be a film maker. Maybe need to be more realistic, Mowelfund? I don’t know…”
I used to draw comic story boards using fax paper when I was 7yrs. old, I din’t know that what I was doing was a story board. I was always more inclined to drawing writing play scripts & directing and the exploration of character. My background in theater management or just by attending workshops helped me in my photography in terms of communicating with models/people in a very specific way.
Most models that I have worked with know that aside from showing them pegs I would send them 5-paragraph story concept of what we are going to shoot. I work with scripts I want to treat them like actors & not models I hate it when they get on set and already have the pose#1,2,3. I want emotions, I want the the viewer to walk out & think.
I won’t forget hearing from one of the model’s that I worked with telling me “wow I look like a human being in this shot and not a model”. That validates that he got it, & that’s my style!
I had always had this idea for a film in my head (see video) quite common though, but even if every director and photographer have done this I still haven’t done it my way. I like the idea of the production & how the actors portray the common movie story of a star falling in love with a regular guy. I’m interested in the idea of conflict. In script writing to make the story interesting you need to create conflict and more emotional baggage then you crush the audience imagination.
Can’t wait to be in a real film school.
2am still can’t sleep, more ideas are popping.
What’s next?
