Currently a whole bunch of my best buddies (including some v close family) are embroiled in the madness of the 48 hour film competition. I've been involved in my Jenni's team for the last 3 years (is it only 3??). Each year the team has gotten better. People have left the team and started new teams.
I have certainly had my fair share (some might say more than) of grumbles over my roles (does *anyone* enjoy holding a fleckie? Really?) or over filming outside in the cold and rain (Monster Hunter, anyone??) but there is also the great feeling of being part of a team, an insane team that makes a short film in 48hours!
I suspect a lot of the grumbles were due to lack of sleep and sensible diet. Also, I kind of hate waiting around doing nothing when I feel I could be doing something productive. Bringing a book is good, but I find that people who are feeling incredibly busy and stressed don't like seeing other people relaxing. I find that I am also one of those people ;P
One of the best things is having a buddy to do stuff with you. Like, I really loved doing props etc with Sam. It was lots of fun having someone to run around with. However, my fave thing has to be the acting. I love performing. I'm a huge show pony and every year I don't get a part there is a bit of me that wants to leave the team (Jenni's is big now) for a smaller one where I have a better chance of getting a big role. I wants all the acclaim, yo. I should work on getting more skillz (like Norm with his mad makeup and we really need more people who can play instruments). Big role doesn't need to be acting. I'd love choreo. I reckon I could probably do decent "stage manager" too.
This year as there is no way I could get a part (due to being on the Emerald Isle), I feel no sadness over not get a role, just sadness over missing out on the team bonding.
Hope the whole shebang (shebang, oh baby, when she moves, she moves) was an utter blast and can someone please tell me what muggle's team got???
