Filming the Second CCR

Hello everyone! Today, I filmed the second CCR. I wanted to run through all my preparations and plans for this section of my project.

Firstly, if this was going to be a nice dinner, I knew I'd be needing some kind of decoration. I wanted to put a flower in a vase, but those are expensive. Instead, I took to arts and crafts! I'm a very large origami fan, and any of my friends will tell you how much time I spend folding together sheets of paper to create things! Recently, I picked up a new skill on how to create origami stars (I actually purchased specialized star paper to create them), and I realized the stars would be the perfect "flowers) for my bouquet.

(The tutorial I used!).

Next, I needed some kind of stem. Luckily, I happened to have some beautiful green paper straws lying around that would be perfect for this. I hot glued the stars to the straws and wrapped it all in tissue paper to look like a bouquet. This was the final result!

For a very minor set piece, I'm super happy with how this came out!

As for clothing, I wanted us to be somewhat fancy, so I asked my friend and actor, Luke, to put on a nice shirt! I followed suit, and put on a casual button down for the filming session.

As for what we were going to say, I actually didn't adhere to the script as much. This was because I realized it would be best if when we spoke, we sounded more "loose" and original. This way, it actually sounds like we're friends and not just two strangers reading off of a script. Filming itself went pretty well, and so did editing, but I ran into a bit of an issue. 

I breathe too loudly.

I think my house was a bit dusty at the time of recording, because whenever I was the one recording, you can clearly hear my loud breathing in the background. This hurts the flow of the recording, but I didn't really know what I could do to fix it. I tried to lower the audio and raise the music, but you can still hear my breathing. All I can do is hope it isn't that noticeable. Next time I'll use a neti-pot before recording, hehe.

That's all I have to share with you today guys. We're in the home stretch, editing is almost done!! I'll see you all tomorrow!
