Lawl (LOL)

Ha ha ha ha hey, it still got done, nonetheless. But I feel like I'm being branded as the one that will never listen. I highly disagree with that label.


First off... I did not get those impressions of [QUOTE] "Waste of Time" or "Boringassourous" or "When will the teacher shut up?" [/QUOTE] Everyone got to play around with some other person (except you, who went and helped everyone else) down there while I had to sit up on the tower and just watch everything for about 40 minutes... When I killed someone, mostly Ross and Jesse, I was merely getting even. They came and killed me a few times. =/ When I killed you twice, that was purely my fault and on accident. I wasn't quite sure what I was supposed to do (due to me having to show people "Carl", I couldn't listen all that well) and the second time was my brain accidentally pressing the right trigger instead of left...

This may have taken an hour to finally do, but we actually got a lot of footage, when you think about it. It was a very progressive hour compared to others. ;)

REMINDER: We have to keep videos under 9 minutes. One minute for the opening and for the credits.

Now onto Hudson... Is it just me, or is he fading away from ForeTech and has been for awhile? I remember talking to him about 3 months ago about everything and he mentioned he would have a hard time doing things considering how busy he is, especially in the summer since he's always gone. My point is, is that... I don't think he should be a main character, like Jesse, you, and me... He might not have the time (or care in the project) to participate as much as we expect him to. I dunno... What do you think on the topic?

As for you only being able to trust Jesse... Ross did surprisingly well. He has mentioned to me many times recently that he hates Halo and most video games altogether. He just needs a little practice.

If you are done with the editing on the game, we'll need to figure out how to get it on camera. I guess we could just record it like how I recorded the Banjo videos. If we do it that way, I'd like to request we do it late one night at a sleepover. My reasons being that the entire house will be quiet and we will [hopefully] have no problems. Then I'll put the video onto the computer, and advance edit the clips to have more effects, scene transitions, etc. I love doing that stuff so it should only take me maybe one or two days to come out with the final video. Sorry, just running through this in my head.

It would be nice if I had LIVE so we could do most of our work over that. *Sight* Oh, woe is me...

Okay. Here's the thing. I've been meaning to tell you this for quite some time, seeing as you're co-director. Recently, I've been writing scripts in some classes (just working on Jesse's and mine intro's. By the way, Jesse has requested to have his intro to appear last). Anyways, some of the people sitting around me, Kolten Cooke especially, have noticed and asked what I'm working on. I obviously answer them, then return to work. About a couple minutes later, they find a way of asking me if they could somehow be in ForeTech. Inside, I'm saying "Nooooo... We have people already asking for that and you don't have a good enough connection with the others, or me for that matter, to get in..." I'm thinking this about most of the people that have talked to me about it. Some we might seriously consider of letting them in. Zach Gills, Mattie, and Andrew mainly. Wow, getting off topic. Anyways, back to what I was saying. All I can say to some of them is "Yeah, I'll try and work on that..." I guess what I'm trying to say is... HOW THE HECK SHOULD WE DEAL WITH THESE PEOPLE?!?!?!?! They're annoying now!

I know I don't seem very serious when working, but we can use this to our advantage. If there is one serious person and one not-very-serious person on something, something great can happen. I've noticed this in a lot of things. ;)

I feel like I'm forgetting to talk about some things... Hm... Well if I remember anything, I'll post again later tonight.

Woot Xbox Live!

Short post, I'm just going to say that Xbox Live is tons of fun (although I have yet to get to the forging and epic custom games yet, only matchmaking so far) and is totally worth it, when I thought it would not be.

I need a headset though, so I'm going to use my birthday money and gift cards ^^

Trial Episode

That's what I calls it. Perhaps everyone else calls it, "Waste of Time" or "Boringassourous" or "When will the teacher shut up?"

That's what I felt like, when I was trying to direct the first episode of ForeTech.

And I gots to say, a moderate portion of that came from Connor.



Since I haven't edited it down yet, I don't know how it's turned out, but I do know how long it took to get there. At least an hour, I know that for a fact.

During my birthday party, I had planned to direct the first ever episode of ForeTech.
I had also planned to have enough of the guys there that were planned to be in the episode, and could do the acting correctly.

However, Hudson was Twistering with some girl, Andrew couldn't come, Connor was... well, being Connor, therefore Jesse was the only one I could trust.

#1 Ross, 1337, Red. He did great. He doesn't get distracted by anything.
#2 Jesse, Spartan, Blue. Also great. He knew exactly what to do.
#3 Connor, Lazer, Green. Hurg. Frequently fired his lazer at the wrong time, killed me and many others frequently, didn't listen when I said listen.
#4 Teagan, Carl, Orange. She did fine considering she didn't really know what to do.
#5 Me, SMG, Brown. I knew what to do, but even I messed up occaisionally.
#6 Marae, Extra, Purple. Same as Teagan.
#7 Shellie, Extra, Gold. Same as Teagan.






I actually felt really well about it, all in all. It was how I imagined it would look.

But it just took a very long time to get there- I could tell Jesse and Ross what to do, they were fine. Connor took a while cause he wasn't listening. I had to personally tell Marae, Shellie, and Teagan -both how to control themselves- and where they had to be set up.

I'm going to say it again.







We need to stop playing around, stop watching other people perform,

and JUST DO IT.
