Well apparently a two year Associates can take three years, haha. This semester I’m taking the following: RTV 280 (Media Arts Exit Review), FLM 265 (Documentary Filmmaking), FLM 261 (Professional Experience In Film II), FLM 250 (Film Production Senior Project), and RTV 150 (Scriptwriting). All that’s left after this is my English class. Then who knows what I’ll be doing. Probably still taking classes at trident until I get work. Maybe I’ll take real classes and get my AA.

At least I’m doing something i love.

This one goes out to all the ladies. Don’t make plans then bail on them, especially when I’m waiting on you at 2 am. I’m not down for one night stands, I’m sure plenty of other guys are so talk to them. Smoking is very un attractive, smells bad, is a waste of money, and it kills, don’t do it.
On a similar note the following are also not attractive: those script chest tattoos, monroe piercings, short hair, strippers, leaked sex tapes, babies and ex husbands when you are younger than 26, granny panties, high waisted shorts, when you wear a belt with the buckle on your hip, fatties, not in school and/or lacking a future, dirty cars, I have more but you can work on those for now.
I just had to make those points.

Yes everyone knows about the war with film vs video. I’m going to throw in my two cents in about this issue. My biggest problem is Video as the source material. Video is great because it allows us to view a Film anywhere such as on our phones, TVs, computers, etc. But as displays get better the video looks worse, cameras and TV are always catching up to each other. Film as the source can be re scanned at a higher resolution. Video cannot cause the pixels weren’t there to begin with, yes i know you can up convert and it looks a little better but that does not compare to a Film with a really good scan.
I keep thinking of 4K TVs becoming the new standard in a few years and TV shows i love like the big bang theory looking like 480p video does on a 1080p tv. And as more and more films are being recorded digitally they wont be able to stand the test of time like Wizard of OZ has, which they took old negatives and restored it with an 8K scan and re released it on blu ray, it looks better than it did years ago when it came out. Right now the BEST digital cinema cameras shoot at 4K which is fine for the near future but wont do any good 71 years later (i picked 71 cause that’s how old wizard of oz is).
Think about this, during the time wizard of oz was released to theaters the TVs were less than half the resolution of a standard definition TV, most were less than a quarter that of what we call standard definition today.

I know I haven’t updated in a while, not because nothing has happened though. I’ve been busy with life. I have two more classes left for my associates, English and my Exit Review which I’ll see about finishing in the Fall. I needed this summer for myself. In other news iPhone 4 is coming out and I’m buying one. I’ve had my 3G since the Apple store here opened. Ariana (@ariscary) and I broke up and she moved back to Virginia, sucks I know. On the bright side I got a job on a film called Silence (@silencethemovie), Directed by Jewels Satterfield (@Jewels11) starring Dilana (@dilanarox). AND I have tickets to the sold out Modest Mouse show at the music farm, this will be the 4th time I’ve seen them.
