First Term 2013

 During the first term of this year we directed our profession towards movies, tv series and tv shows. Our teacher is a designer that works for "Canal 13" doing mostly scenography for the morning show that airs at 8am called "Bienvenidos". Also we had class with a known chilean Director called Orlando Lubbert. With both of this teachers we made a short film, that in the case of my group called Le Gaffer Producciones, was about a guy who was too much into videogames that his reality mixed with his games. The result wasn't very good because we had problems with the times of the actors and ours, it was very difficult to coordinate, also, the camera wasn't very good and we didn't knew how to use it. Even tough all this time and recording problems, when we got together to shoot, we has an incredible time, it was fun and we ended learning a lot from our mistakes. 

 In my free time i had to work for a play called "Lo que las mujeres no dicen", it was about a crazy girl who talked with a mannequin. There were 3 actresses who played different states of the main character, one was her evil childhood, the other her process of becoming a woman and the last one her last days, as an old lady. I worked in that play with my colleague, Nicoletta, and we had a great time with the company, but a side from that, we had a difficult time doing some of the things needed for the play, like the mannequin. We did the mannequin ourselves which was a huge challenge. We used lots of techniques and we failed lots of times, were the arms fell, the chest broke and things like that. For like, 3 or 4 days we slept like 3 hours trying to make the mannequin work. At the end we managed to make a beautiful mannequin which the director liked to call "Cindy". As a company we had to deal with other problems like, the girl in charge of production collapsed, we had to cancel the play a couple of nights and the biggest problem that was that the director had to put the money, from his pocket, for everything.

 My thursdays were free, so i spent that time to be with my nephew. I went every thursday to my sister house to have lunch with them and to play with the little boy. In June he turned 1 year, and my family gave him as a present a wood horse and a little piano. He likes to play his little piano, which is at the right side of his father's piano, along with his father. Usually he takes my finger with his little hand and takes me to his room and puts in my hand a book, so he makes me read to him and show him the drawings. So, after all the problems i had to face in my free time with my work, or the problems with the homework, he kept me happy and active, that way, the next day i had extra energy to deal with all of that stuff without going bitter.
