Jessica: Judith/Holofernes take 2

This week started out frustrating, but ended up finishing pretty well. I had a hard time finding sheets, a backdrop, and also the electrical sockets in my apartment did not fit the extension cord I was using. It all worked out eventually though. On Wednesday, the gang assembled and I retook the Judith beheading Holofernes photos. This time, I tried to focus less on the actual form of the painting and more on the spirit of it. I arranged three different compositions (2 mine, 1 original) and then photographed them from different angles. Abby was fabulous, per usual, she looks like a psychopath in all the photos and everyone was good all around. I ended up not liking the photos that I took of the original composition. Because of how it is arranged it was difficult to make it look like Holofernes's head was really coming off. I played around a bit in Photoshop but unfortunatly, my sk11z are not that developed. I picked ten photos that are my "final" ones, but really a lot of them came out well. Five of those photos are up here.

On to the next part of my project then: filming. Things conspired against filming this week and I did the majority of it... last night. I have all my shots currently and now just have to stick them together and do something with audio. Or not do something with audio, I'm not totally sure yet. I think the film came out well, but I haven't looked over everything at one time yet. Some of the scenes were very hard for me to do... For some reason I wrote in two different scenes that involve falling of being pushed over. One of these was falling down the stairs which is one of my fears/obsessions. I really wasn't thinking when I wrote that one in. Oh well...
