Hey, that's me in the picture editing my short "artsy" movie called Dialog. I'm editing footage that I both filmed on my own and performed in. So called one-woman-show you could say. This project was for our art film class with Kari Yli-Annala. P.S. It looks like I'm having my eyes closed while editing but at least I'm laughing.
Here the two of me are having a serious conversation.
I had fantastic time going around the forests near our summer cottage (not really a cottage but my mothers childhood home) with camera and tripod. I had a loose script in my mind that kept the structure intact but left also room to improvise.
Being both your own director and actor has it's down points. What sounded great in paper "the girl dives in to the river in serene atmosphere" was not as serene in real life. I filmed this two weeks ago and it's already quite late Autumn here in Finland so the temperature of the river was less than 5 Celsius (41 Fahrenheit).
I have quite funny footage of myself breathing heavily, flapping my hands like crazy and swearing to the camera (there was no one else present) "I can't do this, I can't do this. I CAN do this." Then in the end I had to dive twice because the first time I only went half way under the water so that the bottom of my body was swinging in the surface of the water like jollyboat.
But I got the scene in the end. Now I'm in the last stages of editing. Even though the editing is so addictive it is hard to say "now it is ready" because there is always room for improvement.
On the 18th of November we will have a small art movie festival here in Pori where the films we did will be presented for the public. I'll probably post my own films (I'm doing another one as well) to internet later on as well. I'll keep you posted!
