Wait For Me

This is the music video for Week 2 of this Audio and Video course.  The footage, well I wish I had the equipment to take this type of film, but it is from straycinema.com.  They posted all this footage of a film about to be released, and let everyone do their own edit of the film.  You then can post it to their website.  It doesn't look like all the film but at least its enough for everyone to make their own version on how they see the story.  The music was from Moby's "Wait For Me".  straycinema.com had a link to a website that Moby has with a collection of free songs you can use in your projects so long as you e-mail them and explain your film and that you don't make any money off it.  So, strictly for festival or student films.  I was trying to make a story for this music video.  I hope I succeeded.

Week 1 - Bank Heist

This was the product of week 1 of Applied Audio and Video.  We were given as an exercise this really old footage of a dramatized bank heist, probably made in the late seventies by film students.  I did have a lot of fun with the footage though and hopefully made it interesting.  

Family comes first

      The month of July was supposed to be a great class.  "Camera and Image"  Sounds great right?  Taking pictures of whatever you want and really studying the art of photography.  I decided to drop this class.  I did it for family.

 We planned a trip to the Grand Canyon with my in-laws for a family reunion.  Since we were at a campground, and very little opportunity to find a wi-fi connection to turn in assignments and I would also be missing a week and a half of class, I decided to drop it.  Part of me wishes I could have taken that class but I put family first in all things.  Also, it has been a nice month off without any assignments to turn in.  The Photoshop class was fun but a lot of hours go into projects, especially if you aren't proficient at the software.  I am a bit apprehensive about this next month's class.  I think its the part of me that wishes to be idle when I come home from work or over the weekend.  Now, due to the class as well as other work commitments, I probably won't be idle at all, ever.  The new class starts on 9 July in about a week or so.  This is going to be "Digital Video Editing" which is going to be great!  I will have some videos to post on this blog.  Video is my niche anyways.

Here are some trip photos!

Tired after Grand Canyon Rim sight-seeing
and trying to keep Breanna's hat from
getting lost in the wind.
