Failings

In the midst of week 3, I've done nothing. No writing, no drawing. The only work I've gotten done was shooting a wedding last weekend. Money is so tight right now that I have gone back to work at Borders.

With shooting this wedding my eyes are operating in full director's mode. The whole drive home, I was thinking out stories, scouting locations in the central West Virginia mountains, setting up shots. Even watching "I Love You Man" the other night, I kept noticing how well shot it is. Its just a very pretty movie.

I really want to get a story written and shoot it. I have been thinking more about a documentary on Biotech in West Virginia. It wouldn't be terribly hard to get done. The key segments would be interviews with Dr. Valluri, some other professors and students at Marshall University and footage from the labs there. An interview with Senator Byrd would be great if you could get it. I just have to get off my ass and do it.

I have however made strides in Mellie's scarf. At least its something creative.
