So far so good

I haven't started editing yet but all the footage looks pretty good, probably will need to reshoot a few things but they are minor things compared to all the good footage I have currently.

AIDs

This afternoon was quite a productive afternoon.  From 1:00pm until about 5:00pm the short comedy AIDs was filmed.  The parties involved were Logan Lovett (playing Logan), Emily Downes (playing Shannon), Mark O'Neill (playing Mark), David Busse (playing guy with sunglasses), and Giovanny Vazquez (Sound).  Everyone did an excellent job with the parts they were given.  I hope everything turns out excellent when I go to work on Post sometime this weekend.

Tuesday Morning

Morning everyone, I have successfully changed my wake up time in the morning to an early 7:00am and it's going quite well for me.  The only complaint is that Wednesdays will be hell in the evenings because of that Sci Fi class.  I've never fallen asleep in a class before but I think this week might change that.

A lot of things have been on my mind lately; diabetes as usual, school work, a final project for basic, a midterm for sci fi, and some other things I'd like to disclose at a later date. 

I had some pretty weird dreams last night but they have escaped me, I remember waking up in the middle of the night about 3am and saying to myself, "wtf?" And then going back to bed.

btw weather, you suck sometimes and mostly at the inappropriate times : \

A-Bomb

So I have a small 10min project I put together...I think it spent more time rendering than I did working on the 10 second video.

Tell me what you think?  I think I found a few effects I might use later on, I've favorited them and will not force anything but still would like to use them.

Today

Today is my brother's birthday; he is 17 today.  Happy Birthday bro.

Today I have to have ideas for my final project for basic video, I have them...question is can I pull them off and will Alex let me use them.

And even though the sky from my room is beautiful this morning, I know when I step outside around noon I will be stepping into the worst weather for about 2 weeks.  Its so damn cold.  St. Patrick's day is a week away and we got 18 degree (-8 celsius for our canadian readers) temps.

Recession...a break from carrying about money

I don't think anyone understands that this recession we are going through is actually a good thing.  It helps drive down prices and keep companies in check.  The only thing that my generation doesn't understand is that this is a cycle that happens every 10-15 years, we were just too young to remember it when it happened before.  All we remember is the nice reasonable prices for things that happened as a result of the recession.

Things are cheaper as a result of recessions

The quality of products remains the same or sometimes gets better

The markets usually go down but the stronger small companies thrive and expand due to the recession...agree or disagree?

Looking for jobs

I need a job. simple.

I hope you like fire cause this is sizzling with pre-explosion.

Welcome March and Production Notes #7

Just think in a few weeks spring break...I'm not as excited for spring break as I am for the warmer weather which I hope will follow.  The past weekend I was able to participate in the making of a film called "Resurrection Ferns" directed by Tate Bunker , the experience was good I'm glad I was given a chance and I hope I'll get more in the future.  I was also in the movie which was sweet.  I was an extra on the public transit bus they rented for the afternoon, I attempted to be "guy blinded by the light"  and yeah that was me.  I can't wait to see the film too, the synopsis I read was really good.

I'm going to go see if I can talk with Susan Kerns today about my scripts, she's a professor who wrote the screenplay for Tate.
