Convolution
Hey guys, sorry its been a while since i last blogged… I’m sure most of you have just stopped looking at my page… but there has been some really cool things happening here in Orlando… I just finished two weeks of non stop shooting on two short films for school… I’m almost done with school… I never thought I would live to see the day…lol… these short films I worked on is considered our final thesis films for school… I was fortunate to be a Gaffer for one script and be on the camera team for the other… there is nothing like working on a film set… today is my day off and i’m definitely enjoying it but would love to hop on another set… anyways, we start editing these films next month… for those of you who will be coming to my graduation, all of our films will be shown… I have tons of pics from my time working on the films on my facebook… so go and check them out…
NEW YEAR…
So 2008 has come and gone and now it is 2009… What a year it was, there were birthdays and celebrations, heartaches and sadness, but like every other year we will get to do it again… there will be great times and hard times in 2009… but through all of it we should never forget God’s love and why we were placed here on earth…
Godspeed Endeavor!
Last night i had an opportunity to watch the last shuttle launch for now… NASA is planning on retiring the shuttles and replace them in like ten years with a new shuttle that will take us to the moon and Mars… I had never seen a shuttle launch but i was so glad i was able to go see it… after class yesterday myself and 7 of my fellow classmates drove to Cape Canaveral… on the way there we hit stop and go traffic for most of the way… what was suppose to be a 45 minute trip became about two hours… we finally got there and there were hundreds and hundreds of people sitting on the side of the ride, standing, sitting in lawn chairs… it was crowded… we finally found a parking spot and walked to where we could get the best view of the shuttle… from where we were the shuttle was about as big as an ant but let me tell you, when the boosters ignited it was like an atomic bomb had hit the launch pad… Everyone around was just in awe as it slowly lifted up and journeyed its way into space… as i sat there it boggled my mind how those astronauts were feeling as they were being shot up at about 250,00 mph defeating the earths gravitational pull… there can’t be a feeling in the world like it… as the shuttle lifted up it slowly turned upside down and tilted to an angle… as it soared further up you can see the booster rockets disengage from the shuttle and slowly descent back in to the ocean… it only lasted about a minute for the shuttle to leave our view but it felt like a lifetime…
Right in the middle of this picture where there seems to be a beam of light shooting up towards the moon is where the shuttle is waiting to be launched…
I think i hear the birds TWITTERING outside…
Hey guys, man i can’t believe its already November… it seemed like it was just yesterday when the year just started… This is definitely my favorite time of year… I am always in such a great mood around November and December… I recently stumbled upon a really cool thing called TWITTER… its a way to keep updated with people and can be done all through text if you would like… but if you have a wonderful MAC like i do… you can download a free app called Twitterific… not sure if it is for PC also… so if you guys get a Twitter you can follow what i am doing throughout the day… Also if you guys check out my facebook… I have tons of new tagged pics of me from our 16mm shoot… so if you guys want to see what I did on our shoot go and check it out… also for those of you who love celebrating christmas early and want to listen to a good christmas CD go and get MERCY ME- CHRISTMAS SESSIONS… been listening to it since Nov. 1st and haven’t listened to anything else since…
On The Road Again…
So here I am… sitting in my apartment in Orlando dreading another two hour drive in the same day… I had to come back to Orlando for like 5 minutes to meet with my financial advisor and get my loan stuff squared away for my last 6 months here at school… I find it amazing how i can amuse myself for two hours as i drive… i usually listen to music but eventually music starts to get boring… it also doesn’t help that my car sounds like an airplane engine… but i think the coolest thing is being alone for two hours in such a small space lets your mind go crazy…
Little man says HI!!!
Hey guys, i understand some of you are saddened from the inactivity on auntie Anna’s blog but I enjoyed a wonderful half day with the family… We were all over the place but had a good time… while i was with them lil Asher wanted me to say hi to all of you…
Manly Man…
Well, I have never thought of myself of the MANLY MAN type… you know, the guys who are into building things, power tools, no instruction manuals (well, i don’t use them anyways)… well, past two weeks, we have been constructing sets for our 16mm films… we have been working non stop… one of the cool things about our Art Direction class is that they kind of throw us right into things and start building… they show us the basics but after that we have to use our creativity to build the rest… i was never to fond of power tools and building things but i have come to really love it… one of the projects i had was to build some kitchen counters for our kitchen… how do you build a kitchen counter from scratch… where do you start… well, my creative juices started flowing and wood was getting nailed and hammered together and somehow i came away with what i believe is a kitchen counter… the pics show the counters almost done… it is missing the actual counter top and the handles…
this was from when we were painting them…
oops, sorry for it being sideways… but those are the counters… i’ll have more and better pics of the complete set soon… and next week i’ll have a behind the scenes look at our short film…
WOW! GO Jags!
Man, oh man… was that a great game or what… it kept me on the edge of my seat…
