On Friday, I bared my soul to the world by posting a documentary in which I admitted to having an eating disorder. If you haven’t had a chance to see the video yet, you probably didn’t realize that I made this confession while literally stripping down to my underwear. It was hard for me to…
For those of you that follow both of my blogs, I apologize that you’re seeing this post twice. I promised myself that if I went through with it and created this documentary on my eating disorder, I’d share it with the world. If you’re going to do anything in life, do it well and do…
So, I’ve spent three days and countless hours editing. I’ve gone from a silent film, to narrated [that’s a blog post all on it’s own, people], to deleting all of my narration and using title slides and background music. The more I look at this film, the more I edit it. In fact, if I…
I’ve spent the last two nights staying up until 2am. Not by choice, but that’s not to say I haven’t enjoyed the project. I’ve spent the last two evenings editing the footage from my documentary and putting it together with still photos, slides, music, and narration to hopefully create a usable short film. I’ve learned…
Just a quick note — Even though I had planned to move forward with the filming of my doc tonight regardless, I was pretty thrilled to get a response back from my teacher this morning: “I am glad you are pushing out of your usual medium and also using your personal knowledge and life experiences. …
*GULP* Tomorrow, I will begin filming for the short documentary I proposed for my Publishing and Distribution class. In case you haven’t been following my blog for the last few weeks, I’ve basically committed to creating a very short [3-5 minute] documentary reflecting on my life as a yo-yo dieter and borderline OCD-calorie counter. My…
Today’s post is going to be extremely short. In fact, it pains me to write these words, as every moment I spend typing is a second that could have been spent reading. A colleague of mine recommended the book, Jitterbug Perfume by Tom Robbins, to me several weeks ago. In the midst of school, work,…
Don’t worry: this isn’t going to be an overly bubbly, sappy post about Valentine’s Day and how I’m gushy-mushy in love with my husband. Nor is it going to be a bitter, screw-this-commercial-holiday rant. It’s just going to be an ordinary post like an ordinary day. I will admit, though, that the topic does have…
For those of you that do not know, I’m a current student at Full Sail University, majoring in Creative Writing for Entertainment. Full Sail University, located in Winter Park, FL, is an entertainment and media arts school. For the past four years, they’ve hosted what is known as the “Hall of Fame,” which is when…
Let me preface this post by saying that I don’t think there is such as thing as an intentional hypocrite. I strongly doubt that people wake up, get their morning coffee, and add “commit hypocrisy” to their to-do list for the day, right below “take out the trash” and “clean the gutters.” I believe most…
