I am in the middle of filming the scenes. There are 33 performers in this show, so the filming process is taking some time.]]> 2021-05-16 17:45:00 UTC https://padlet.com/FSSseniors2021/olivias/wish/1528787205 ovms https://padlet.com/FSSseniors2021/olivias/wish/1566256873 I've filmed Scenes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 (pt.1), 11, 12, 14, 15 (pt.1), 15 (pt.2), 16, and 19. I still have to film Scenes 10 (pt.2), 13, 17, and 18.

I've also started editing the scenes together. Scene 19 was particularly difficult due to the nature of the way I filmed it.

I also created a 20-second trailer with a viola composition (which I created on noteflight.com).

I've started thinking about where I want music in the show. Due to copyright rules, I'll have to compose it myself. I'm looking at mostly kalimba (Zimbabwean finger harp) and guitar, but Noteflight provides me with a much wider set of possibilities.
I've been keeping careful documentation in a journal and also in several Google Docs. I've been working on the project since February (my hours track everything specifically). I'll post photos of the journal pages and my Google Docs soon.

It's so exciting to see everything coming together. It's weird; I hadn't really revisited my script since I finished it last spring. It's really cool to see it acted out. Everyone is playing the roles differently than I heard them in my head when I wrote the scenes. It's making me see the characters in new ways.

There's a lot of work left, but it's really coming along.
Next steps (in no particular order):
- Get headshots from cast members
- Compose music
- Post documentation
- Finish filming
- Finish editing]]> 2021-05-27 18:28:49 UTC https://padlet.com/FSSseniors2021/olivias/wish/1566256873 ovms https://padlet.com/FSSseniors2021/olivias/wish/1586598349 Sorry for the wait! I am almost done with the film (just need to add music to the intro and end).

I'll post photos/videos of my documentation and work very soon. I've been so caught up in filming, editing, and on-paper documentation that I forgot I'm supposed to be updating this Padlet.]]> 2021-06-05 03:27:00 UTC https://padlet.com/FSSseniors2021/olivias/wish/1586598349 ovms https://padlet.com/FSSseniors2021/olivias/wish/1586629850 This little number is what I'm using for the songs in the intro, credits, and end. It's a kalimba (adaptation of a Zimbabwean instrument, the mbira); a "finger harp". It produces a clear, melodic sound.]]> 2021-06-05 04:17:27 UTC https://padlet.com/FSSseniors2021/olivias/wish/1586629850 ovms https://padlet.com/FSSseniors2021/olivias/wish/1587196775 I finished my project last night but am having some technical difficulties (the full video is too big of a file for me to download out of my editing app right now).
