Hello - I've registered a team for the 2015 Cleveland 48 Hour Film Project event taking palce July 10 through 12. If you're unfamiliar with the project, it's exactly as it sounds. From Friday evening at 7pm, once each team has been given a genre, we start brainstorming, coming up with the story, filming and editing into a final short turned in no later than 7:30pm Sunday evening. The shorts will be shown at the Capitol Theatre on July 22nd-23rd. If anyone would be interested in joining my team (unpaid, but fed), or curious to know more (www.48hourfilm.com), please e-mail me ( arinaabz@gmail.com). You can see some of my work at www.vimeo.com/arinaabz Although the story will come the weekend of, I can share some basic aspirations and examples of personal inspiration: - my goal is positivity, peace, compassion. - not looking for any swearing or violence - bright, colorful or monochromatic, but clean - My inspirations and favourites at the moment: Eureka (tv show - for its idea, intelligent comedy), Tomorrowland (similar to Eureka - good cinematography, current events, positive, not focused on the villain, on the fight, but rather on the concept), Broadchurch (best cinematography at the moment hands down, for me) and finally, Taylor Swift's "Style" music video (not a fan of hers, but the music video has the retro flickers with interesting effects). I love keeping audience guessing, making movies fun like a game. -- Sincerely, Arina *.peace.*.love.*.hope.*.happiness.* =========================================
