Spring Break + Lighting Strats + Video Production

Oh yay! I am back in Austin from a well deserved Spring Break. Unfortunately, I was sick the whole time and wasn't able to do much. However, I got to see most of the people I wanted to see :)
Now I have returned and the workload is a bit overwhelming. I will get it done. I always do.
I am currently working on a documentary that will be posted eventually. I will also be working on my second assignment for Lighting Strategies.
This weekend I plan to do some "pleasure" shooting, which is where I shoot because I want to. It's nice to be back in Austin and I am excited to get this semester done with.
I wanted to include some pictures from my first Lighting Strategies assignment. I will only post half of the images. This assignment had to do with inspiration by music. It was really awesome working with music provided to us by our professor. Anyway, here you are....

Milton Nacimiento

-I forgot the name of the artist for this one-

Video Production & Birthday

This semester I have been taking a Video Production course that all Photocommunication students have to take. I had heard nightmares about the course and how everyone hates it so much. Of course, I was scared when I first walked in. However, my teacher has turned out to be a pretty rad guy! Although he may not be as elaborative about the assignments and he has pretty much thrown us into the water without really knowing how to swim, I think it has been quite an experience. I don't think I'd really enjoy working in the film industry or anything, but it's definitely something really cool to learn.
Here I include my first two videos for the class. The first, "Satan's Hole" which was a stop animation video we did in groups. My group was definitely really cool to work with. The second, "Joy With Strangers" was an experimental narrative that we made.
I have definitely enjoyed making both of these videos and I am looking forward to making my third assignment, which is a documentary.







It was also recently my birthday. I am 20 years old now and I am quite happy with my life. Also, thank you to all who have wished me a happy birthday. I really appreciate it!
