Day 1 - Elena Tarullo

One thing neither me nor Owsley foresaw was the change of our ideas. We started today feeling pretty lost and had some very vague ideas but after a few hours of brainstorming, we really made a cohesive plan which was different from our original vision. One major change to our vision was the inclusion of nature images within the film which we did not previously envision. I think we attempted to put too much pressure on ourselves instead of letting inspiration come to us in filming on site.

    This sounds like a fascinating day of progress! My favorite thought on the creative process: “Creativity comes from trust. Trust your instincts. And never hope more than you work.” -Rita Mae Brown

Day 5: Garrett Sams: Why, Tysen?

To be honest, for our movie to turn out well, we will need a miracle. It is more likely for Dr. Phil to go back to college to become an actual doctor than for this project to turn out well. That's sad. Dr. Phil is successful, so there's no way he'll go back, and we have 6 hours of footage, so there's no way that I will edit it in its entirety. Why do I have so much footage? Again, I think I am brilliant--the next Hemingway or Speilburg--so I think all my ideas are amazing when, in reality, I am probably 2-for-5 on good ideas. My day began with me waking up 15 minutes before my scheduled meeting with Dr. Sowell. I have had this meeting scheduled for 2 days, but I was tired, and I snoozed my alarm clock about four different times. I somehow made it to school on time and had time to shower. Wow. That is talent--time talent. On the way to school, I got a call from Ethan Essex. I hung up on him. I could see him calling me, so there was really no point. So, I pulled into

Day 4: Garrett Sams: The Longest Day of my life.

What a day. I knew today would be rough as I woke up at 7:00 AM to go to a "leadership conference" with Mr. Long. The conference was at the Kentucky Center, and every male there (except for the Collegiate kids and Mr. Long) wore a baggy suit. Also, there was a woman with a beret on yelling the name "Blanch" in the middle of the lobby. Don't know what that was about. Hopefully, she found "Blanch." Regardless, the conference took place in the coldest theater in which I have ever stepped foot. The coldness did not deter me from falling asleep as a woman talked about how Generation Z (my generation) loved "the snapchat." She's right. In all seriousness, I love snapchat. While I sat, listening to the keynote, Eli was breaking records, eating handfuls of free muffins. I don't know how many he ate, but I'd say enough to kill a horse. One thing was apparent about every speaker, they all knew how to make terrible jokes. One keynote spea
