Since I've been on my journey for looking for an internship, I've decided to redo my reel. It's kinda weird because I named it "2013 Motion Graphics Reel" when the year has barely started but all the work is from 2011-2012 so should it be "2012 Motion Graphics Reel"? Oh well, enjoy!
Just another film student trying to get by. I usually post up ramblings, anecdotes about daily life, photography, typography, film related rants, worthwhile memories, and things that inspire me here.

Returner
That was a needed break from doing freelance work. I've been focusing on my job lately and just taking it easy. I helped start a new mini series for my school's Student Marketing & Communications Department called off the clock and covered a "super secret" design studio hidden in our art department. Once it's gotten the green light, I'll post it up here. I've gotten a lot of time to spend with friends to enjoy what is going to be my last summer because from here on there won't be that refreshing sun soaked summer where I get several months off.
I'm heading towards the end of my summer and beginning the long hard journey of my senior thesis project. I'm excited to be working on a large scale operation, but also preparing myself mentally for the grey hairs that are about to come. I was chosen to do sound on several proposed scripts and I feel I can fully execute my role in post production, but feel mediocre when it comes to doing live mixes. I'll probably be dabbling more with mixers during our preproduction stage to prepare myself. I honestly feel that doing sound isn't my thing, and I'm completely puzzled to this day as to why my school has put me in that skill set, but I'm still going to give it my all despite doing a role I don't feel too passionate about.
I'm coming towards the end of my undergraduate career and I honestly feel I'm not ready to compete with the bigger head honchos out in the world. I honestly feel that my school hasn't prepared a lot of us to tackle what's really to come once we leave. I've felt that they mostly assigned us projects and left it up to ourselves to figure the details along the way. I'm for experience being a an excellent way of teaching, yet I feel nothing compares to the wisdom and passion of a battle hardened professor who's returned back from the industry to give helpful advice that they wished they knew when they were young and bright eyed like the rest of my cohort. Regardless, I'm willing to tackle the graduate life with what I already know.
The learning doesn't stop when I get the diploma. I've decided, for sure, to take some more classes at Gnomon to play catchup with the other motion graphic artists and to really get into compositing. I know there's tutorials all over the internet, but I've always enjoyed the classroom setting where I'm surrounded by like minded individuals and have the luxury to raise my hand and have any question be answered. I also like the classroom setting because of that feel of competition in the air against my peers.
I'm also in the talks for a possible new freelance job. I'll keep everyone posted on my upcoming project.
Oh, and here's my reel that I've cooked up really quick. Still don't know why Vimeo won't make it into HD, but I'm tired of waiting in line for it to get processed so, enjoy!

I'm up for living like a homeless man for 3 days.
I was talking to my friend Patrick when he sent me a link to a music festival called "Lightning in a Bottle" which is going on Memorial Day weekend and I think I'm pretty much sold on going.
Time to start saving!
In other news, I've started up a demo reel which I'm going to use to appeal for editing in my film program. My friend Jay opted for me to appeal seeing as he is highly confident in me taking editing and has decided to talk to some of the department ups.
So far I've been just compiling works I'm proud of and finishing editing my DSLR project. I haven't had some time to work on it over the weekend because of my social life and work, but I'll get around to finishing it this week, i swear!
Oh god, this music festival video gets me excited!
