final essay....

oh Snap...i'm late.....well to jump right into it i wasn't even suppose to be in this class i would of had to take eng102 next semester because i was unable to find an eng class that fit into my fall schedule. luckily a friend of mine transfered schools and dropped the class so yeah here i am...or was lol . when i started with this class i already knew what to expect. Last sememster i had jason smith before and it was probably the most chill class out of the bunch. i could hear my music, i didn't have to talk to anyone, i could surf the web, watch videos, and get my work done...go figure. This semester wasn't so different aside from the fact that it was group oriented. I was a bit skeptical at first since i'm not really into the whole cooperation for a grade thing but luckily I have to say that me and the guys worked well together it was like we were brothers in another life lol. This semester I learned about archetypes something i never heard of before (well the term at least) i found this helpful since i write stories...so now i can apply the format to my writing; But the main thing I learned (that i will try my best to apply to everything) is the meaning of teamwork , and how much can get screwed up by not meeting deadlines. I could complain about how close we were to not having a video to present at all but we pulled through and....hopefully got a good grade (we better because we went through hell lol just saying) still it was a fun process.

When it came down to the blog that helped me the most this semester i have to go with ziyins. His blog was basically my guideline to whatever i missed or didn't understand it's detailed and he followed the rules to the core which helped me revise my work. I can't really go into too much depth here but all i can say is good work dude i wish i had as much to blog about as you did lol. still it was a fun semester i can't complain...so on that note love peace and chicken grease.

Still Alive

This is the blog to end all blogs...

there's too much to say about this video. it started off as one thing and slowly became another. It was originally going to be a trailer for a zombie reality show titled "zombie hunters" but do to the lack of a good camera we were unable to use some of the shots we took (mainly because the camera sucks in the dark)we have alot of shots and videos in the early process (bloopers coming soon). I played the role of director (which is pretty much what i'm majoring in so i saw this an opportunity to practice) basically my job was to gather up the necessary things to make the video happen. my group probably got tired of me (i had to be harsh with them lol) it was a difficult process despite how simple the video may be, the stress of having to constantly nag at people, to planning was just annoying at times (now i know how managers must feel). through out the process i gained a new perspective of the word patience. and i learned that everything especially with these things rarely go as planned but that was part of the fun lol. It was hilarious, fun, and a taste of how difficult the job actually is. now you may watch our low budget video (the rendering process was difficult so you may see a typo and a lack of certain effects, since it was my first time using adobe premiere pro i wasnt able to exactly work out all the kinks lol).
