My mom supported me during the entire process. She was my minion who held the camera as I was acting, not complaining about my adamant directions. She was the wonderful commentator's voice at the beginning of the film, practicing her intonation before recording. Her optimism helped me have a positive outlook towards the entire project.
My little sister, "THE STAR", as I now call her, was such a great sport. She really got into the role, even acted like a movie star, and finally shined.
My grandmother was also my moral support. She viewed the film with me at least 100 times, always with a smile on her face.
My dad, the opposite of a scary drug dealer, did such an amazing job! He got into the role, tried on the different attires I gave him until I found one I liked, never complained, and instead of shining, scared me to death.
My friends, the "extras", practiced the steps and danced the choreography at least 10 times. They were always smiling, never complained, and tried their best, making of a project's shooting, a wonderful gathering. I especially want to thank my friend Andrea for allowing me to film and use the dancing at her disco birthday party on my video.
Suzanne Vega, the songwriter of the song, "Tom's Diner", was so supportive. She answered my message promptly and directed me to the Company who also owns the song's contact information. I am just waiting to hear back from the Company, Warner Chappell, with my fingers crossed, hoping they will allow me to use this wonderful song.
My film-opening is ready, the music is the only aspect pending. I have already started to look up other non-copyrighted songs in case I am not allowed to use Suzanne Vega's song.
I just can not believe that this project is coming to an end. I have learned so much from it, and I can not wait to share with you my key reflections through my Creative Reflection.
