Helping out Alexi's skit.

Sunday afternoon. The weather was really great, the sky was blue, the sun was shinny but still, the wind was chilly, reminding me that Ithaca's weather is always unpredictable. Anyways, Alexi wanted me to be a part of his skit so he's been asking me to come from Friday, yesterday and today. With his earnest request, I was in a situation where I had to go willy-nilly. Upon my arrival, there was Marcel and Luke, also actors of the skit. Ian was there too, but he was in charge of filming everything. 

Surprisingly, Alexi didn't have any written script with him, so we kinda had to free style everything. And at the same time, I've really never been in a film or any type of recordings. I was a little bit anxious and puzzled but I tried my best to do what I can and it turned out that some scenes were really satisfactory. However, overall, i personally think he needed some more preparation. Since we are students, not professional actors, we weren't really confident at what we were doing and there were lots of differences in opinions. We had to spend some time inefficiently, just because we couldn't reach to a consensus. Although a little frenzy, it was a great hands on experience, which reminded me how hard the wise project could be and how much effort I should put in.
