Time to plan.

Florence Lawrence; inventor of the brake lights and turning signal.

Now that we are done school officially! (I never thought I would see the day I would say that.) I am relaxed and ready to ... plan out my IPP.  Yup, now that the school work is done we have to start planning out Independent  Professional Projects. These year long projects showcase our creativity in a book, event video, screenplay or musical EP of some sort. And while I don't have an official adviser yet, I'm still going to meet with someone who was on my panel in order to see what needs to be done this summer in preparation for shooting in fall.

Anyways my idea is to do a video documentary on the challenges woman face when it comes to maintaining their vehicles. This documentary will feature me trying to learn the basics of car maintenance without any formal training. As a side note it will also feature a woman mechanic showcasing her skills. It will feature the history of woman in automotives, candid interviews of woman who know plenty about car maintenance and woman who know nothing about auto maintenance.
It is a light humour documentary with plenty of opportunity to laugh.
