A new resolution…
So, of course we are three months or so into the year.. I am loosing steam when it comes to my resolutions. The one I have held onto the most is the one where I write about every movie I watch. I have held up and written about every movie, but the real question is are the writings worth anything? I am thinking I need to take it up a notch.
So, NEW RESOLUTION..
I will still write about every movie I watch.. It is going to start with a stream of consciousness on how I felt about the movie. Really anything and it doesn’t have to make sense. Then I am going to post it. Whether it is legible or not. I don’t care anymore. Next I am going to take everything I wrote for the month and put together a more concise view on a movie or a couple of movies I choose. This will be one post I take more time with and really delve into a certain point of the movie.
Hopefully from this I will not be so lazy with it and get so overwhelmed with a project I have no intention of doing anything with in the future anyways. I was hoping to get something out of this whole experience because I do spend alot of my time watching TV and movies. I figured if I was going to be living alone and spending my time doing this as entertainment to occupy myself instead of falling into depression then I might as well document it some how.
Another resolution I want to get into is to start formulating a new series I want to be writing. I think this is a good place to really explore a few characters and write about them in a way I won’t feel constrained to have to write a script of some sort. That maybe with this it will just formulate itself.
Finally, I am working on a portfolio. This will consist of 6 different types of makeup. I have decided to do a set on old movie monsters (frankenstein, dracula, the wolfman, etc.), zombies, burn victims/skin diseases, bleeding gashes, fake limbs/decapitations, and finally I will create a fake head and blow it up. I have started the zombie set already.
To make all of this work I am setting myself deadlines so I have something to work toward.
Res 1- Movie reviews, By the end of the month they have to all be posted and the big critique as well.
Res 2- This is going to be a daily occurance. Keeping up with a journal almost as you will, I will be creating twitters for the characters as well to get a more day to day feel to comprise together on here on a monthly basis as well.
Res 3- I would like the have the whole portfolio done by the end of June. I figure I could knock out a couple sets at a time to hopefully have a whole portfolio put together by then.
Looks and smells like a plan.. next up looking into film schools.. am I sure I want to do this?
