Serendipity: I’ll allow it

Well, well, well: never thought I’d find myself here.

Today I had planned to grind through some serious research, note-taking and other general uni related study in order to leave time tomorrow for a shoot my friend had asked me to help out on for his short film (Film & TV course at Swinburne) when BANG BANG he hits me up at 11:39am with a message: “MIGHT NEED YOU TO COME HELP WITH SOUND LATER TODAY IF YOU FINISH YOUR WORK SOMEONE DROPPED OUT”. And here I am now, 8:50pm, home sweet home, more fulfilled than ever (I even tried Korean food). How’s that for serendipity.

Even then, that’s not the serendipitous part I was intending to write about; this came when it started raining after we arrivedĀ on location. And BANG BANG, we found ourselves shooting downstairs, in one of Swinburne’s cute little cafes. The new location was perfect, better than it ever could have been in the gray-walled prison-esque original rooftop area of campus that the original shooting had intended to occur at. Thanks, Media One. Thanks, rain. Thanks in advance, chiropractor who will fix my back after the pain it suffered through holding up a shotgun mic for extended durations.
