Santiago Casar:
1. Why did you choose this for your capstone project?
Plans to move to Los Angeles. Most of the jobs that he has applied for in the process of this move requested a demo reel. He decided that this was the most logical step.
2. What are some of the changes that you had to make between your original idea and what you are presenting today?
His original idea was to shoot a documentary, which was to cover his favorite pastime of rock climbing. After several months of attempting to make it work he soon discovered that he did not have the funds, manpower, and time necessary to complete the project. He changed the idea completely due to these restraints and decided to create something that was more focused on his future as a cinematographer. He decided that he would create a strong demo reel that focused on specifically his skill behind a camera.
3. What is your opinion of the timeline for your capstone? Was it helpful or a waste of time? Why?
He did not feel as though the timeline worked very well for him because it did not give him enough room for changes and focus on the typical changes that come with producing a Capstone film.
4. If you could change anything about your capstone, what would that be?
He said that he would have tried to get more help and feedback from faculty and his student peers.
5. What advice would you give me in planning for my capstone?
He advise me to try and focus not so much on the final product, but instead focus on the learning process and what I can take from it.
