Day 4 - Elena Tarullo

I have loved getting to know Owsley better! I think we work really well together because we have similar visions and are great at bouncing ideas off each other. Going through the creative process with Owsley has been so much better than if I did it alone. We haven't really had any disagreements because I feel like we are very good at communicating and respecting each other. Even though sometimes we get tired and feel like taking a break or giving up I think we've gotten to know each other even more and have learned to motivate each other throughout the process.

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 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.

Day 4/5

Thursday was a rather uneventful day. We made a button board that would allow us to move our polyurethane ball up and down, but without the part we ordered we couldn't conduct any other tests on our device. We called our work day done early and went home, ready to get the project done the following day Friday. What a day. Although it had a poor start, the day progressively got better. It was Ethan Kincaid's birthday, so I went out and bought donuts for everyone to share. Unbeknownst to me, Ethan also brought in donuts, so we had 24 donuts to split between 6 people. Our part never shipped out of California, and it wasn't going to come until 8 PM, so we couldn't conduct any tests on our device. We figured out the source of our problem, which was that we had plugged the battery in the wrong way which caused the part to short circuit. All of these problems could have been prevented had we just matched the red and black wires on the battery to the red and black wires on th
