From Danielle - 6-27-07
Hi, I’m back again on the third day of the second week. Today we are really working hard getting ready for auditions. Also we are starting to bring in props and things that will help with the movie. Now, John is starting to get pissed off because people are really lacking in their department. People are doing other people jobs! Also being rude like talking while he is talking! Auditions are tomorrow (Thursday) and we have a lot of actors coming in. Until then….. I will keep you posted!

I am working with the Kidstart (IFP), helping with the movie. This is the second day of the second week and people are already starting to get LAZY. Mr. B is starting to show his real side with his mood swings……but we still love him! We started bringing in our props for the movie today. Most of the people went to go look at locations like the house scene, outside scene and school scene. Jamal is putting up things to keep us on track for the movie. The casting for the movie is coming along great. The mini movies turned out great. This is just the beginning, we have so much work to do for the next 5 weeks! So the complaining and irritation has begun.

This is the first day of week 2, and we have a lot of stuff to do. Today we were editing our 10 minute movies we started on Friday; mostly everybody is playing around because we aren’t doing anything. Mr. B is getting restless, I think he just blew at fuse (10:24 am). But I think people should stop talking and do something, anything. Some of us were filmed for parts of the documentary about what we do, and casting group is having a ball getting people for this film. There is going to be a lot of film for the Documentary, I’m kind of doing doc, for the computer though. I’m letting everyone of you know what’s going on while I type; I wish these people could calm down. Mr. B is getting real P.O., so I shall be on my way to do something else. Till tomorrow……. I’ll keep you all posted.

Today, there were many people going out to search for locations. Most of us stayed behind at the “office” to work on other things we need to get done. We were all working, until around 10:20 am, we were talking, on the computer working on blogs, and other things. Everybody began coming back from looking at locations, and just doing what they need too. Casting department is having a horrible time with cast, info on website, and with each other. It’s like I would work, and the other wouldn’t. They're having miscommunication with each other, but they're working on their issues to get their work together.
Some of us are working on the spoofs; we were talking about the last movie. Because I also have to do Boom during the movie, and they were telling me to do some push ups to get my arms ready. Because the boy last year kept complaining about the Boom was too heavy, and they could hear him in the background.

Today, most of us take a break off from the main movie, and are breaking down into groups and are making our own mini movie. I believe they are supposed to be 5 minutes long, but everyone was finished around 8:50am. We had 4 hours to finish, we start at 8am, we have to choose places to shoot our movies, and shoot the movies. There were many places being occupied, and there were people roaming the halls talking and walking in the shot. It was difficult to shoot inside; some went outside to the park. But today was an educational learning/fun experience.

At the beginning of the day, we sat at the table for a discussion on tomorrow. It was mainly about casting, what they need to do for auditions, how they should act, and who we are still looking for. Also, we were discussing locations for the shoot. Now it feels like we are in crunch time for the beginning of the movie, nerves are being pushed and peoples' tempers are beginning to boil. I know that I am sleepy everyday and I don’t complain. And everybody has to get through with what they need to finish today before we leave today.

Learned a lot
Today we had visits from professionals in the video-film production industry. We met with an editor (Nadav Kurtz), a script supervisor, casting agents, sound production, and others. Tomorrow we start writing and shooting our group mini-movie. We've put out a call for rappers for the movie - we need a rapping granny. And we have an animal handler - we're going to have a dog, rabbit and ferret in the movie - we think. And we have our cheerleaders and our list of props. It's moving along pretty good so far.
