It takes time, but it feels like time well spent. If I had to read a horrible book series (for example), I'd probably feel like wasting time. But I never had any regrets about sacrificing other things in order to shoot stuff. I love this kind of activity and I hope I'll be able to do similar stuff again some day.

Heh, we hid the girl who played the mummy behind some of the larger junk in the background and she was turning the lights switch on and off, in order to create the light/dark transitions. We unwrapped her first, of course. Then we made sure the camera position and angle was maintaned the same, so that it would seem like the Guardian appears smoothly out of the darkness. Speaking of which, she was one of our reporting professors - Sandra Earley. As for "Lara" - she is Prof. Dinka Spirovska, she teaches graphical design and layout, as well as photography (which is why she pulled a camera to defeat the mummy).

I enjoyed the whole process, though shooting the dark movie was my favorite part (since it was my "child"). It took about 3 or 4 hours total. The initial idea was to shoot in the dorm's basement, but then someone got the idea for the old theater and we instantly fell in love with the creepy corridor and the larger room. It was like a setting for a real horror movie - a haunted house of sorts. The theater people usually use another (newer) rehearsal room, so this one was more like a storage room for props. There is something like a large inclined podium near the Lost Feature - I think that's a "roof" prop from a play that took place on a roof :P

Ah yes, the other video - we chose that song with the idea of making everyone burst into tears. It's not exactly the best footage of me, but it's okay. We have some behind-the-scenes footage too, but it's on tapes and currently I have nothing to play them on.

Ugh, the lipstick is a nasty thing indeed - thick and greasy. Has a weird taste too. But, as the saying goes, art requires some sacrifices...
