Overcoming difficulties (LOST MY ENTIRE PROJECT 2 DAYS BEFORE DUE)

 Monday morning, my phone was stolen- which had all the film and clips edited together and ready for today's publish. I had bet my life that the 2 minute film would of saved to the cloud and waited till i got my new phone yesterday.

for whatever reason, unknown to me- god or whatever deity that rules my life decided that no. The 2 minute short film... and weeks of filming and editing... were completely gone. 

Instead of freaking out and honestly- crying i decided to get my act together. If I were to become a filmmaker- stuff like this happens. That night i jumped into action.

I was able to retrieve some of the few clips, mainly the ones with my friend Daniela from the cloud. However the short film is completely lost and gone. So, I got to work.

1. I first re-filmed all what was lost in one night. I got my makeup on, redid my hair, and ran around my house and outside at night while my parents were NOT home. If I were being honest, I could of sworn I saw the real hat man watching from the distance lurking behind the trees. He was probably judging me for losing my phone a few days before the short film was due. And all the weeks of filming and editing. I gave him a little wave and a nice nod. Least I could do for turning him into a villain. 

2. I then opened up capcut, and began editing- only to realize that this was going to take WAYYYY longer then I thought. I had managed to do about 4 hours of editing before I was forced to do chores. Its crazy how fast time goes when your on a deadline. Possibly my adhd? Or the fear that I may not pass this class and get the cord after all 3 years... Unfortunately I'll have to finish editing tomorrow. 

3. I re-did and re-recorded the diegetic sound, which somehow also took way too much time. A few clips of walking, nature, books moving and paper turning took me about a hour to get together. To be fair I did take a undeserving food break but that was short. 

4. I begged my friend Daniela if she could come over but again- some strange punishment from the deity's above she was in key west enjoying mock- cocktails by the beach. So I had to stray from the original plot and improvise. My main character was now running around for a good long few seconds. Lets hope its scary enough for my audience. 

5. I meditated. I have to keep myself as mentally healthy as possible after LOSING 2-3 WEEKS OF WORK BECAUSE SOMEONE STOLE MY USELESS IPHONE 12!!

6. I typed up this blogger. Here are some of the clips I did last night.
