Filmmaking Updates!

Hey guys!

It’s been over two weeks since I put out a blog and I have about two more weeks left of my Sophomore year!  Time sure flew!  Here’s what I’ve been up to!

Throughout the semester I’ve been keeping myself plenty busy with assignments… film related assignments!  I’ve been writing a feature-length script for my screenwriting class and it, at times, seems like the workload will never come to an end.  I am at length (90 pages) and am currently fine-tuning until the end of the semester!  At the end of the semester, I can say I wrote my first feature, which is a real cool feat!

Looking over my progress this semester, I feel that I’ve been keeping good tabs with grades and such.  As a gift to myself, I added a new tool to my filmmaking arsenal: The Glidecam XR-2000!  (I'm holding the Glidecam HD-2000 in the banner!)

I first started using a glidecam when I went on my National Digital Cinema Competition with SkillsUSA in the summer of 2013.  Ever since, I’ve borrowed and used Glidecams for tons of shoots, especially since it serves as my main tool when filming for fitivity's iOS and Android apps!

I’ve also been working on a short film for my Advanced Digital class as well!  I’m currently wrapping up the post-production phase of my film.  Our seven-minute short films will be premiering on campus, which is open to the public, this upcoming Wednesday at Clark University’s Razzo Hall at 6 P.M.!  On Monday morning we are dedicating class time running a tech rehearsal displaying our films on the big screen.  From here, I need to take close notes on sound levels and visuals.  The projector in the hall is a little funky with true colors so tweaks are in order.  I had a short film premiere there before, and I’m excited for another premiere! 

On a lasting note, here are some stills from my film, The Button and a cool gif!  Thanks for reading!
