I have had like two people in my production 'team' each time I made a film in my three years of doing films at RMIT. Seriously. Two people (and that includes me) who have cared to put time into the pre-production preparation instead of helping out at the last minute. The other helpers only really come on the day of shooting itself. Tell me if that doesn't make a difference in terms of the end product!

Sometimes it feels like I may be better off doing some sort of advanced diploma. I'm not complaining! There is seriously a difference here. And like I've said, it's not time for me to be rolling on production yet. I'm trying to find out how. I just work in whichever way I can afford to. My 'resources' aren't that great or anything, but I'm just working in whichever way I am able to.

It's kinda strange how these things happen! It's mostly been Kay and myself... Magic Fingers and Dead House. And for the second film Dead House, we did enroll into the same tutorial and all, so we worked together again. And for this third and final film, there were supposed to be four people. But two of them dropped out of the course. Shit just happens man. Anyway, not all people in the course are necessarily serious about doing a film. To some of them, it's just another course. That can't be helped.

But then it happened again! Two people on the team for my third and final student film. We did all the pre-production work ourselves, and are doing all the post-production work ourselves. Good thing we helped as crew on another team's shoot, and luckily they are kind enough to help us back. My other teammate crewed on other teams' shoots as well, but they have not offered to come crew for us. Well, our production is small (and boy, I come up with script ideas knowing I can't produce anything real big), so the small crew is just right for us as well. But I'm just glad for the people who did come crew for us (which just nice happens to include Kay; Kay and I are on different teams this time becoz she wants to specialize in editing), and it's just great that they aren't 'too busy' like other people and are willing to help us back, you know?

Yah anyway. The film shoot is done now! And I think that is all I wanted to say in this post now. Just glad to be able to be Dir. of Photography for this film.
