Seung and Joon taking care of our equipment. Good boys.
Then then, I went to sebastian's house to take stalker pictures of his girlfriend.
Well, my stalker has to stalk more than one girl right?
Being Stalked...

Day 2
Was supposed to help Sebastian out with his shoot in school but i went to church instead. Does that make me good or bad? Hehe.
Anyway, Hana went to church with me and after that we went to...... Max Brenner!!! It was so damn good.
Pretty Menu
Chocolate Syringes! Can you believe it?! People can get high on those!

After that, I DID go and help Sebastian out with his shoot. But he was almost done. So i did most of the cleaning up. Hehe

Day 3
There was no shooting on that day. But we met up anyway coz we had to meet our actors in SoHo.
Take a look into Mune's mouth!
Stalker pictures
After that, Sebastian met up with us and we went for dinner in a Japanese restaurant. It was really good. I took pictures of everyone's food. But i'm too lazy to upload them all.
Hmm.. What shall we get?
Tired Seba & Me
Blur Mune & Me
Naughty Seung & Me
Didn't take one with Joon coz he was too far. Hehe.

Day 4
Joon's film.
I was Director of Photography (DP). Again, that is just a fancy name for a cameraman.
I love being a DP but i really doubt my ability in it. =(
I had to carry the camera the whole day and take random shots of Mune (he was Joon's actor because apparently NYFA produces unreliable student actors.. bahh!). Anyway, we got to go to all the famous and tourist-y places in Manhattan. So it was really fun! =)
At Wall Street...
Me, skipping happily to take a picture with Mr. Bull
Mr Bull & MeAt SoHo...
Seung & Joon thinking about the next shot
Sebastian & Me fooling around =P
At Times Square..
The guys with the heavy stuff
Seung with his camera. He was DP as well coz he had his own camera and Joon wanted more angles.
Mune with his sign (it's part of the story)
Me with the NYFA camera
Ahh! I couldn't help it. It's Times Square!
Times Squareeee!
Sebastian had to take over for the tough shots

Day 5
Seung's film.
Seung, Mr Easy-Guy, is always trying to make everything "easy". He shot in Union Square. We made 4 movies so far. 3 out of Seung's 4 movies were shot in Union Square.
His shoot turn out pretty good, besides the fact that.. yes, once again.. a NYFA student canceled on him. So Joon had to act for him.
Director and DP discussing shots.So i started taking pictures of random things.
Waiting for the train. We had to go to Wall Street for the last scene.
The Actors that DID show up
Joon, the main actor
DP & Director, again
Hehe.. I was gaffer that day so i took a lot of pictures. =)

Day 6
Sebastian's film.
It was such a long and tiring day. But Sebastian's movies are always very abstract and arsty-fartsy. So there is always a lot of work that has to be done and shots that has to be taken from many many many different angles. It's not easy when we only have ONE camera.
Seung, the gaffer, bouncing the light.
Director, DP & Actors.
OK.. Didn't take too many pictures with my camera coz Joon wanted me to take pictures for him. Boo!

Day 7
Rachel's film.
So... I got up bright and early so that i can pick up my actor and crew members from the subway station. It was still early when I got out of the house, so i decided to take the 30 minutes walk from my house to the subway station.
Walk walk walk, I go. When i got there, i was just on time. But no one was there yet so i went to the bakery and got everyone breakfast. Then i waited and i waited and i waited.
40 minutes later, I get a call from Joon & Seung saying that they were gonna be late (i know.. understatement of the year, right?). So they took a taxi to my house and will wait outside my house for me.
Then, 10 minutes later, I see Sebastian running out of the subway station. Finally.
But still have to wait for the actor. So I gave Sebastian his breakfast. After he ate, he had to get water. So he left me waiting.. Then guess what happened?!
My nose started bleeding like mad! Seriously. Blood was just coming out like water and i couldn't stop it. It wasn't even those little drips of blood kind. It was like.. the Red Sea flowing out of my nose.
So i covered my face with my hand. And when Sebastian got back, he thought i was on the phone so he just ignored me. And i was trying to ask him to give me some tissue but i couldn't coz i was like drowning in my blood.
Then, i put out my hand, the one filled with blood. And Sebastian was like, "Whoa! Rachel! Is that fake bloood?!"
Shit. That's what you get for making too many crime scenes.
It was too funny so I had to take a picture in the hype of the moment. Haha
Anywayz, to cut the story short. My actor arrived 10 minutes later. Then we rushed to the cemetery to start shooting.
My crew was good. They really went all the way to get good shots for me. Whee! =)
My actor was really good too! He did all the scenes over and over again just so that we get the perfect shots. And he didn't even stop to rest so that he could get into character. Hahaha
We finally finished shooting in the evening. Late evening. And I took my first relaxed breath of the whole week. It was good.
Me & my crew. The best yet.
Everyone! (Hana was my actress)
Group Picture, Rachel style! HEhe i love it!
