Film Festival Part 1: Secrets

Over the last few months, I’ve had the privilege of working with other talented video students at Mt. Hood Community College on projects for our final graduation film festival. Check it out at http://imsuper.mhccim.com/! I had the privilege of having at least a small role in six of the projects we’ll be showing. This is a project I worked on as a DP: Come to the film festival and check it out if you can!

Every Filmmaker Needs a Lightsaber Video…

I am in danger of becoming slightly addicted to Adobe After Effects… there are too many possibilities to leave this incredible program on the shelf! This is a fun little experiment working with virtual 3D space and Andrew Cramer’s lightsaber plugin:

It's been an insane quarter of school! Eighteen credits drains a person after a few months. Here's my recent how-to assignment:

Back to School!

Only one week into school, and I'm ready for a break. I crammed 18 credits into two days of classes per week. I leave the house around 7:45am and get home between 9:15pm and 10:00pm. The rest of the week is spent thawing my frozen brain cells and dancing through piles of homework.

In the mixed-disciplines media class this quarter, our ~17 person team is compiling multimedia content from last quarter and repurposing it for an iPad compatible publication. I'm really excited to spend the next three months with "my own" [aka: the school's] iPad, playing with different content, testing out ideas, and implementing creative media solutions. How many classes give you an iPad to play with? I can't wait to dig deeper into research and development!

It's difficult not to get prematurely excited... I'm graduating in five months! =D

In other news, I finally acquired a new Rubiks cube!

One Question

Here it is! Pete proposed in the middle of a carefully planned jam circle. This was an incredible evening. Congrats to the amazing couple!

[I'm so excited!]

I have four projects in post-production right now, one of which is almost finished. Here's a sneak peek of what I'm working on:
