Last night when we were all working to build up that giant planet I took a moment to look around at everything going on around me. I looked over to whoever it was that was beside me and said "wow, this is college."
And what an amazing moment that was. The best part?
I can do this for the rest of my life!
I never thought that creating things, making films, performing, and meeting so many wonderful people would be my "homework." While everyone else is cramming for biology or chemistry tests, I was gathering pipes and visiting thrift stores for props. There is nothing more satisfying that seeing all of your efforts manifest, some intentionally, others unintentionally, but all equally important.
FST 302 was my favorite class of my college career! I tried so many new things. Stop motion, directing, constructing a giant "ball," and just working with so many new people. It was great that we constantly worked together with different groups AND as an entire class unit. I felt that we all really made a strong connection.
I learned that things will rarely work out exactly the way you want when it comes to film making, but the beauty of it is in recognizing those happy accidents. Thanks Shannon, you helped us all take a new perspective on making films and it has been a major turning point in my young life.
CAN'T WAIT TO WORK WITH ALL OF YOU AGAIN IN THE FUTURE.
keep in touch
Love,
Megan
