My fabulous first week of camp

Readers, as the title suggests, I have had a fabulous first week of camp. I have been at film camp for the past week, learning about sound, cameras, production design, and how to write a script. My group I am  making and editing a movie with is composed of four girls and one boy. We have decided to make a movie in which one of the characters sets of an explosion that destroys the outer core of the earth, leaving everyone dead exept those that were with him. All the kids have to come together to survive against a beast that is hunting them in an earth that is devoid of food and shelter. We have finished writing and storyboarding, made a list of all the costumes, props, and makeup we will need, and are generally ready to start filming Monday.
Chao for now
I will keep you updated on my movie making experience

The adventure begins

Readers, my days of hometown camp are numbered. Soon I will be leaving on my usual trip to Iowa, only this year I will be at Wellesley island in upstate New York. The island is small but a very fun place to be. There is ice cream, I will be able to jump off the dock into the Saint Laurence river and there is an amazing old English style library. I'll also be going to California visiting relatives and distant friends. With my summer planned out I'm totally ready for vacation, which is right around the corner.
   
     While I don't start traveling for a week or so I am already thinking of everything I will be able to do on vacation. Right now I am going to a film camp which is a day camp for two weeks. It's super fun and I'm able to learn about who's who on a film crew, the history of file and how to make a film which we show at a theater on the last day.

   After film camp comes my vacation to all the fabulous places I wanted to go then back home for art camps. This year I am taking classes on fashion, painting, and wheel throwing. My suer is shaping up to be great and it has barely started. Through it all I ( theperpetualpeach ) will blog here all my experiences good and bad. Prepare yourself for a summer that lasts the whole 84 days.
