We are finally amidst the editing of our projects and they are all turning out well so far. I recently finished editing the project that I did cinematography for and now my short "King of Battle" is being edited. In a few short days I will start sound design and then the coloring process. It all moves too fast but it's been a great experience.

Strokes of Genius
I'm back at home for whats left of the break, and with that comes the inspirational time with old friends. What am I talking about?
Time Ditch!
The story of one mans creation of a time machine only to use it to pick up girls and then ditch them in time!

The executive lifestyle I shall lead!

What a Hiatus
Although unintentional, it seems like I have completely taken the summer off from any sort of blogventure. Whether its because I feel bad about not keeping up with the site how I intended to or just finally slowing down to the point where I realize how much I have left out, here I am, sitting in my living room with the computer on my lap and Practical Magic wrapping up on TV.
So...
Summer:
Thesis production was hectic and amazing, I can't wait to see how the class above us edits their projects and how those shot on RED will look.
All of the jobs that I worked on were a great experience, and I was surprised to find that I liked being the Art Director a lot. Working around a budget to create costumes and design the locations was challenging and very rewarding in the end.
Hey Chris! What are you doin now?
Oh, well I'm glad you asked. I'm on my two week break from school and back in Pittsburgh right now. I've recently realized that I need to read a lot more material on filmmaking. I've almost finished a pretty good one on producing a feature on a microbudget, and Im working up to several others on screenwriting and directing.
I've recently felt the urge to start writing something. You know that feeling of inspiration without any idea of what to do with it? That's what I'm working on and I'm just waiting to find a new idea. Then again, the feeling can be fleeting, but as of right now I feel like being productive and perhaps that the whole reason for me sitting down to this blog again.
Anyway, hopefully I will keep up with this for a while again, at the very least to not let Walter down, you know who you are, Walter that is.

Aaahhh...Summer
So here we are, America. Beautiful summer. The wind in my hair and hair in my Popsicle. In my week off I intend to enjoy the better things in life: sleep, cars that aren't mine, beer (not always in that order), and sleep. Yes, although I may be going back to Florida on sunday for thesis crewing, this week I am in temperate Pittsburgh, PA! Home of the Quaker oat cakes! (or at least the inspiration for them).
Big News!
My birthday is on the 21st of this month and I have yet to decide which movie opening is the worlds gift to me: Terminator or Dance Flick...I'll let you decide in the polls!
Other Big News!
It's the hott button question right now, which celebrity will get swine flu first? I say it's Kermit.
Anyway, I'm really excited to be done with this semester. I had an interesting experience with my second documentary: I had to drop it late in the game and pick up a new idea that I filmed in three days. I basically just sat down with some cool old guys and asked them about romance, and yes, LET them tell me stories for a while. I think it will turn out well and I'm trying to find someone who will do some animations for it as of now.
Also, I will finally be working on the Red camera this summer when I crew on the thesis films! Excitement! Check out red.com to see these bad boys. As of right now, I'm scheduled to work as a script supe, boom operator, 2nd assistant camera, 2nd AD, UPM, and art director, but these schedules are always tentative so we will see how it ends up.
Check back after this week for updates on these positions and the editing/animation process of my doc.

I'm a Patriot...
...but I wish I had enough money to outsource my documentary transcription to someone else because it gets a little old after about two hours.
My philanthropy doc screened tonight and went over fairly well, so I am pleased.
Our F2's screen on thursday and I have way too much work between that time and now (a quick explanation of why this blog is so desolate lately). Instead of finals, here at the film school, we have projects which are all due in the last week...oh yeah, and also finals. K thnx skool!
