Resume SUCCESS!!

Well todays class was a success, I was really stumped on my resume and Matt helped me get through my resume block haha! He really opened some ideas on what and what not to put in my resume and he also said to revise my logo. It took some time for it to grow on me but I like it, so here is the new logo:

I like it and he also helped me with my business card and what to put on it as well. Anyways back to the homework!

Hello Again

Howdy all it's been a bit since I've been on and I apologize to those who read this. I have been playing catch up on all my classes and work as well. The week before last was a great one and I learned a great deal about the graphics software that's out there and met with some great people. OH ya my book was shipped the week I was gone to the motion festival and was sent back. So right now I am in the process of getting the book mailed back. Wish me luck.

WOW!

Well today was a very eye opening day for me. I realized how much I need to learn not only about the software I'm using but the different types of software they offer for the field I'm going into. I learned about premier and how it interacts with the different applications that come in the Adobe cs 5.5 sweet. I also learned a little about demo reals and that the average demo reel only needs to be about 3 minutes or less. If your an editor or director then it can be up to four minutes. I also found out that premier can interact with FCP, which I thought is crazy! So more to come tomorrow!

MOTION YEAHYA!!

So far Motion has been great! Elaine and Becky are awesome and have a lot of knowledge when it comes to all of this stuff. It took a bit to get the words down and get going. Neville Spiteri who presented yesterday talked about a cool web interactive site you can check out. It's called The Blu. The Blu is a virtual ocean online and average everyday people can summit fish that they have created for The Blu and get there fish uploaded. Then today one speaker Jess talked about how to present yourself and why it is important to have an image or logo for yourself. Then another speaker Mark talked about trying something new everyday and doin something new once a year. Then Mike talked about how to keep creative stuff around your work area to keep the creative ideas flowing and to help create new ones. So anyways another big day tomorrow then "The Adobe Post Show" to finish out the week!

OH also Rosa came in on Friday to talk about resumes and what they need to look like and what you should look for when what you need to put in them. She was very helpful and brought some things to light that I would have taken for granted. Thank you again Rosa!!

BUSY!!

This next week is gonna be a crazy one with the motion fest and trying to keep up with homework. I just got confirmation on my book being sent out so I should have it sometime this week or I hope by Saturday so I can start reading it. Mark gave me some footage to start working on a commercial so been doing that and got a pretty good chunk going on it today. See you until then.....

No class!

Well I submitted my portfolio definitions but don't quite know how Matt wanted them done so I just did them in a word type document. There was only 4 of us that showed up to class today and I thought maybe I was thinking this was a different day. But I knew it was Friday and not Thursday because I had bowling league last night and I shot 277 278 258 813 series :) I was pretty stoked about it too! Well anyways gonna head down to my mail box to see if my book came in. I hope that's what he had in mind for the definitions?

The Book

Well just got done getting Nonlinear 4 the book I was talking about in one of my past blogs. I think this should give me some good insight on the digital video editing details I need for when I get a job. Also set up a meeting with my mentor Mark Vasco and we are gonna go over some editing ideas and he is also going to let me edit a couple commercials maybe. We shall see....
