It's odd the things that pop up on Google images when you do a search. The above picture is relevant for most I'm sure when thinking of spring break. But since I just typed in "break", I also got this disgusting picture of testing newly made cheese for firmness.
I felt it was important to add that disclaimer, or you might think it's something else far less savory. I know I did.
So, whether you plan on being somewhere warm and sunny, making cheese, or somewhere in between, I'm sure there is a bit of relief that you get a week away from classes, if not in mind, at least in body. I know we have covered a lot up to this point in the semester, and you're probably all a little tired of me getting on your asses about treatments and blog entries and all the rest, but now that your have your first project under your belts, I hope that you are at least starting to feel the payoff.
Making movies, no matter how long or short, now matter how big of a blockbuster, or small and simple they might be, it's hard work. I think you're finding that out. But if you put in the time to learn the fundamentals and a little bit about the history and the theories behind why films today look the way they do, you'll be better filmmakers.
I must say that I'm really pleased with the work that you guys are all putting in this semester. I know it isn't all fun and games and maybe you question some of the things we have spent time on, but there is a method to my madness. And I can see that you are all beginning to get it. Keep up the good work I think you will not be disappointed at the results. Have a great break!
