Sleep, why are you hiding from me?

Anyone who truly knows me, knows I love my sleep.  I'm an 8-10 hour girl per night ... with no breaks in the middle.  That's just how I roll.  Since the beginning of this project, I've had 3 nights that I would consider sleepless, 4-6 hours, but who's counting?  ME, I, Moi!  OMG, this is not cool. I've just come to the realization that I have that performer feeling.  For those of you who don't perform, it goes like this.  You work on a play, film, script, whatever and you have all sorts of excitement with a dash of apprehension about the actual performance.  You know that once you begin, you'll be fine but up until then you just don't know exactly how it's going to pan out.  So effectively, I've just signed on for this feeling for one whole year! 

About my first shoot.  I love the scene.  It lasts about 3 minutes in the actual film but may be more when we do our version of it.  To be clear, the goal here is not to imitate any of the film with regards to acting, or shooting.  This creative license will allow for things to run longer times or shorter times.  So, that gets me thinking, after all of this discussion, if you watch only a 3.30 clip, will you be disappointed?  Anyone who does this knows that the perfect 3 minute clip can take some time.  OK, I'm not really worried about this because once I see the clip, I'm sure I'll love it and be very excited but that takes me back to that feeling thing that has me up at the butt crack of dawn, droning on about a feeling ... yikes! 

Well, that was always my hope for this blog, that it would show the inside and out of me doing this project.  I think I'll try to catch some more zzz's.  I have a big day!
