Great news! I really didn't expect that the price drop would be that steep. Hey Phil, where do you sell your timelapse stuff? I might need a bunch soon.

I'm planning to study for a year in NYFA-NYC campus. I'm pretty sure with it but I can't help overthinking. I'm pretty sure you're feeling the same anxiety that I am. I've done a lot of research and I think its worth the risk

Are you guys hiring? I'm graduating this year and I have several months downtime before I leave for NYC on September to study.

GuerillaAngel's advice is actually a good one. However, I know some directors who shot those kinds of scenes last. So that the actors will be comfortable with each other. Both makes sense and it's your call. I'd personally shot the scenes first and then if you have time and you think their...

Didn't happen on my set but a friend of mine who is a great actress had a heart attack right after her take. Apparently she couldn't detach herself from the character she's portraying. Good thing the shoot was under a studio so they took care of her but it was hard for her to get another "heavy"...
