Sound and Lighting

First off:

I am having a horrible time with our present assignment in video.

I don't agree with the concept at all.

I really wished that we'd had the chance to explore the idea of history and identity individually.

Having to tie in the footage that we have is frustrating.

Perhaps I'll dig out my old iHuman footage and bring it into the equation.

likely not to happen.

I just know that there are better uses of my time than the direction I've been given.

Argh!

Anyways:

I'm feeling better than I did yesterday evening, and hope that the morning will treat me well.

Made it to school late, as I needed extra rest for my immune system.

Had a go over noise reduction with Stu on the 5th floor.

At lunch I made some music while showing Damian my uses of audio software.

I, actually, am pretty stoked on the beginnings I created.

I wish I had more time to focus on my craft within the context of class.

Lighting workshop with Mitch.

Analyzed composition.

Image compression.

Long versus Short Lens.

For the time it took to go over what we went over, it was pretty brutal.

Felt very, "seat of your pants" style.

There could have been a lot more progress made, but it all depends on your starting point.

stupid bell curve.

Watched some films and had Kurtis break a few things down.

Interesting observation in Wes Anderson's use of shifted balance for introduction of entering elements.

Astute observation actually.

Prospero's Books by Greenaway.

Brutal!

"Show them high art and they get tongue tied," said Mitch.

I didn't want to shout out.

"Brutal! Turn it off."

Just because something had a lot of money go into it doesn't mean it was a success....

(insert list of crappy movies here)

....maybe it was my head's compression from the illness that had me agitated, but it sucked.

Shakespeare is so often done, horribly.

Practiced bass for the first time in awhile.

Felt good.

Bed time.

Have to kick this sickness.
