Graduation Day was a "Fake 48 Hour" product to help some college film majors and minors discover the joys, trials and tragedies that accompany film projects. A lot was learned in that weekend, because many things went wrong including
cameras that wouldn't work,
shots that had to be repeated due to background reflections
and an editing program becoming corrupted,
which forced them to start all over again in the editing room just as they were ready to wrap.
The endless calm and dedication to completion that this cast and crew possessed lead them to a victorious recoveryas they were still able to finish their project in the allotted time frame.
I am forever in awe of how well they handled the stress and how well they kept up their work ethic.
I hope to work with this group again after they have some training in their courses and see how much more they develop their skills and talents.
