& the Award Goes To...

Michael Gore for Best Special Make Up FX on Gruff's Bridge!

A few months ago, Michael was told that Full Sail submitted our 35mm project into the Florida Motion Picture and Television Association. Today we stopped by Full Sail around 6pm (it was quite cool and windy out) to get photos of Michael with the award for "Best Costume". Unfortunately, the award stays at the school, but he was able to get a certificate that he now has framed next to his diploma. 

Mabel and Julie are also listed on the award as they helped out too. Mabel was Production Designer and Julie picked out the 1940's themed clothing for the young female actresses. Our 35mm teacher/producer, Andrew Campbell took the photo of Michael and I. (Possibly a good one for the fridge?)

For old references, here is a photo of Michael touching up some make up on Gruff, back in January 2011 - taken by Josh "Jasper" Behrens:

The Pen's Story

Last weekend I went to a small hospital in Baldwin Park (a very nice town area in Orlando) for another group that was filming their 35mm. This one was probably the most intimidating experiences so far simply because everyone was whispering to each other. The crew had almost the whole floor to themselves, so they had to be quiet as to not disrupt the patients and employees. Normally I can sneak around because everyone is doing their jobs and calling out tasks for each other, but I wondered then if my shutter would start echoing in the hallway! Finally I had to literally whisper "Go!" to myself before introducing myself to all the people I didn't know and began taking pictures of them working. I believe it ran pretty smoothly.
