I remember a few ago when I was still a photography student, we had a drama class that we needed to create scenes by using pictures alone. You have to make at least 300 shots in sequence that will be recreated to a slide show to create a story. We had to finish it in 3 hours. The cramming started. We were almost done, we have the scripts ready, we have the characters ready, the photographers, propsmen are all set. But then we noticed we have a problem on one of the scenes. One of the propsmen complained that the shoes are not fit for the scene, the shoes, he said, are too ugly for the scene.
So we had to look for a new one, something that looks dramatic or something that will at least blend with the situation of a boy who was beaten up by a car. If we use leather shoes, its not appropriate for a boy wearing a formal shoes walking on a deadly highway. Reasonings like that are killing us, we really need to find the perfect shoes. Time's ticking. 20 minutes more and we have finish the other photo-drama except for that one.
We were loosing hope and we all decided to use whatever shoes are there. Until our professor came to check us up. We saw his very elegant Jack Purcel shoes in green, that time it was hard looking for a green one with that ALL STAR written across. Without a word, we asked him to sit down, and we took his shoes off. He looks very confused and a bit annoyed but his face is as hilarious as always.
In a few seconds, the scene is done. And we were asked to give an explanation. He just laughed after we explained it.
For the two other judges, we got perfect 10's. We got 8 from our professor haha, but that was fine, we still got the highest grade among other groups.
I miss those times, where you crammed or rushed because little things, little details worth a lot and mean a lot. That's the life of a student I guess.
That is our shoe story, how about yours?
