CAP Hollywood Reflection #2

Our film is progressing well.  We still have the two scenes we filmed, they have been uploaded to Final Cut Pro and we have made good progress with editing.  One challenge we've faced is getting another little girl to play the protagonist's best friend.  It is difficult because as teenagers, no one in my group really knows any younger girls, and only Sophie has a little sister, who already has another role in our film.

I have been behind the camera during filming and have been editing in Premiere.  I've done a bang-up job at both, if I do say so myself.

Next week, we need to find another little girl to be in our movie and then film the one scene we have left to film.  Once that is done, we can finish editing our rough cut.

Cage the Elephant

In light of the Oscars happening last night, I thought I would do this week's blog post on the film industry (well, last week's post, it's a day late because the Oscars ran late).

Here are my Oscar picks:

Best actor: Nicolas Cage

Yeah, that's right: Nick.  And I didn't just pick him because we share a name.  You may be asking yourself, "what has Nick Cage been in recently that would make him eligable for an Oscar?  Well, I guess there was that Ghost Rider movie..."  Wrong.  Nick Cage has graced literally all the best films of 2012 with his presence.

Argo
There was some controversy over Ben Affleck not being nominated for best director, even though his film Argo took home the Oscar for best picture.  Nick Cage also took home a few Oscars of his own after his performance in the film, including best supporting actress and best lighting.




  
Django Unchained
Quentin Tarantino blessed audiences with this instant classic about one man's quest for revenge, and Nick Cage blessed audiences with his performance as Jamie Foxx's love interest.  This won him an award for best supporting actor, making him the first person to have ever won an Oscar for best supporting actor twice in the same awards show.






Yes, even The Life of Pi





Moral of the story is, I have no idea what I'm talking about.  All I know for sure is that I love Nick Cage and bagels and vitamin water.
