Photo shoot
I had to go back to school last Monday. It was cool to see all my friends again and I even enjoyed the lectures for once. A girl came up to me during the break and asked me if I wanted to be her model for her photo shoot. She gave me her business card and showed me some of her work. I liked it a lot so I agreed and we made an appointment for Wednesday. She’s doing the MA course as well and has a business with her boyfriend, also an professional photographer.
I couldn’t wear any black clothes and I could decide what I wanted to do for makeup. So I only did some powder for the flash and nothing more, I’m not so good in makeup hehe. They made photos with one of those ancient cameras where you have to be under a cloth to make a photo. They told me it’s the best quality and they can blow up the image really big (I don’t know if they were planning to do that with my photo :s). They also told that every photo costs 5 pound 0_0 and I think they’ve made 10 photos with it and some with a huge digital camera. I was surrounded by lights, reflectors and had to look over my shoulder into the camera lol (it was a portrait photo shoot). It was so much fun and I’ve learned some stuff about lightening now ^_^ I get the photos in two weeks.

Project
My project is going great! I’m so happy with my screenwriter. He’s the one writing the scenes after I’ve told him what I want. He understands the whole feeling of my animation and the scripts that he writes are so cool. It’s good to have someone that knows how to write dialogues. So far I’ve received 3 scripts/episodes. I’m adapting them to storyboards and after that I’ll make the animatics so me and my camera girl can start shooting.
I’m happy, my teachers are happy and soon we will get a boot camp of theory we asked them to learn us.

Mala
I haven’t send my graduation animation to any festivals because I wasn’t happy with it anymore. Some scenes need to be redone and stuff and that’s all going to happen next year. But somehow it got picked up by some people and they’re asking me if I want to send in Mala to their festivals. Kinda cool although I consider it not finished yet. It’s screened at:
-BUTFFesitval
- TeleviZie
- Cultuurnacht (coming soon)
- IFFB (coming soon)

Short news
-I’ve got my research proposal back (the one where I was sick, didn’t understand what I had to do and was almost too late to hand it in because everything was chaotic and unclear!). I’ve got al B’s for it and I’m not sure how to convert it but I think that’s graded as an 8 in Holland. So I’m happy, yay!
-The weather is so nice here. It’s almost like spring! But that also means no snow -_-‘
-I washed my clothes together with a matchbox somehow (I’ve never seen it before and I wonder where it came from :s) and now my clothes stink like hell, literally...they smell like sulphur.
