WRITER’S BLOCK

4 Minutes – Production 2 Final

The purpose of this Production 2 final project was to learn how to create non-sync sound films using the vast sound library at our disposal at Columbia College. We shot our films on 16mm bolexes using color or black and white film stock. It took a few weeks to get the story finalized and then the equipment rented, and about an entire day to shoot. I utilized the apartment I had just moved into as a place for the main character to reside. This is what we would call using what you have at your disposal.

The story. Writer’s Block is the epic tale of Jeff, a poor writer plagued by that most evil of nemesis, Writer’s Block! He must search within himself to defeat this most wretched of foes and create a truly wonderful masterpiece.
