LOOKING FORWARD TO SEPTEMBER
This week I was on film over at HereandTHERE.Live hosted byDavid Plutado Fugate. This is performing arts venue, that serves, artists, youth and community members in Edina, Minnesota.
I liked writing the scene. We had to write a spin off of one of Bill O'Reilly's sketches where O'Reilly becomes frustrated with his film staff for getting the words on the teleprompter wrong. We had a choice of whether to put our whole written script on the teleprompter or just the words that were supposed to be wrong. I opted for the one sentence.
The most intense moment was when the guy behind the teleprompter began counting down 3, 2, 1 and raising his thumb to indicate 'ACTION'. From there I recited a script that I wrote and did a combination of recitation and improvising. I really thought that if I improvised some of it- it would bring out the emotion of the scene better. And it worked! Lots of great emotion spilled out as I became frustrated and even threw a pen on the table that bounced and almost hit one of the cast members. It was a great experience. I hope to inspire some more people to get out there and try filming. That's all for this week, please leave your comments below.
