"Slice Of Love"
I was happy with our Music Video... I listened to the comments, I understand what everyone was talking about. I agree that there are some changes that can be done to make it even better. (But still I loved what we have) I know that Amir and Michael are going to work on it and if I have time... I certainly want to be apart of that. I too wanted to see the guy get the girl but I thought that it would then make it narrative. Overall I think everyone did a great job. The other videos were just as great.

***Music Video***
Hey Group... if you didn't know, over the weekend Michael and Amir got together and worked on the video. I had an opportunity to check it out and it looks really good! Patrick when you have a chance you should go by and check out sound levels.. etc. I am happy with what has been done so once this is done we are ready to print to tape.
Great job!
Great job!

HELLO
Hello All…
I’m not great on blogging.. but really.. I’m trying.. I just have to mention that I think the festival workshop was really cool. There are so many festivals out there and one thing is for sure, if you want to be noticed and get your work out there… the possibilities are just endless. I can’t wait for my opportunity. This is all so exciting for me and I am so.. so.. amazed and inspired by all the talent that is in this class. I look forward to hearing about all of you in the future!
Good luck to all of you!

"A SLICE OF LOVE"
"All I want is a slice of Love" The music is still in my head today... What about you?
Well, I think that we heard the song enough times this past weekend. My two girls are even singing the song and it's funny because I actually thought I heard it on the radio.
Overall I believe our video shoot went very well. I had a really awesome crew.. Debbie was my super producer, Amir, the artist with the camera... he really knows what he's doing. Michael was just a real positive.... he was ready to enter it in festivals before we even started filming. I thought that was great! Also, he was really working the lights... I think he even removed the yield, off of a street light on his was to the shoot. Patrick was our actor he was great! "The Del Zorros", I have to say they were really awesome as well, they were really happy to be apart of what we were doing. I think once the get a better understanding of what the contract really means, they wont have a problem signing a clean contract. This was my first time working on the set as a director for a moving picture.. before I had only worked with stills.. in the 201, so this was a real experience for me. I was so... so... nervous but I think everyone was pretty supportive of the idea. My biggest issue was staying away from the narrative.. (NO... NO...) I worked really had at that. I think we actually came up with some awesome ideas and its going to turn out just fine. Once I see the actual footage, I will be happy and proud of a job well done. Great job crew!

My Self Portrait / Music Video
... I really enjoyed this project. I of course used my family as my inspiration. I first just filmed my everyday life.. hanging out with my girls... etc. Then I begin to wonder if it was just too much. Yeah... cause there was no way I was going to fit almost an hour or taping into a 3 minute short. So, I pretty much spent much of my time in the lab saying no.. don't need that... no not that... not to serious.. and so on. My finished project I used the things that matter to me most. I am glad with that.
MUSIC VIDEO
Over the weekend I had an opportunity to meet with our music group. They are some really nice guys and their music is really cool. I assume that everyone has a copy of the song. (Thanks to Michael) Our last group meeting was good.. so when the dust settles from our own self portraits we should really get together soon and make a plan!!

Project 1
The Finished Project
- Happy as a dog with two tails…
What a laugh.. I am so glad that it is over with. I was really excited in the beginning of this assignment. I thought that it would be really cool to mix all the sounds together and then add the pictures.. Etc. etc.. but after while honestly it was all just so frustrating. When it got down to putting it all together to complete the project imagine my surprise when I found out that my partner did not know final cut… and imagine her surprise when she found out that I did not know final cut.. Well it was like the blind leading the blind. I know that this was surely a set up for failure. On Saturday afternoon up until the late evening.. We were still in the lab trying to figure things out… and it still wasn’t good enough. At least not until…. We ran into some other students working on their project they were kind enough to give us a crash course they were able to give us some great pointers…. And thank heavens our project is now complete. It may not be the best of the best but we came along way. If nothing else we now know final cut… (A little more now since yesterday) Thanks for the help!
