Final Cut Pro

Today we went over Final Cut Pro and how it works. I already knew most of it but I learned some new stuff like how to save your stuff to certain folders and stuff. When I first learned with my dad I was pretty impatient and skipped over the step of how to save your stuff in a safe way so that you don't lose anything. I ended up losing a lot of footage so it is good that I am learning it now. I'm so glad we're working in FCP now. I like it a lot more than IMovie.

music video

Yesterday we had a guest speaker who showed us some of hs photography. I thought that his pictures were creative and interesting. He had pictures that were out of focus because he said that life was out of focus. I thought that was cool.

I made a new video recently. Here it is.

Music Video Filming

Yesterday we filmed for my music video. It was mad fun. We all just got up and went crazy doing stupid dances and funny stuff. Just fooling around. It's going to be great for the music video. I can't wait to start editing.

Music Videos

Tomorrow I'm doing my greenscreen recording for the music video. I still have to make a CD of my song and memorize the lyrics. I'll work on it right away when I get home.

Green Screen`

We recorded on the green screen today. I thought it was pretty cool. I can't wait to do my song on the green screen. I'm going to find a funky costume for it.

Invisible Children

We watched the movie Invisible Children twice, once the normal way and once with the directors commentary. I liked them both and the directors commentary one helped because it showed me how they got some of the shots and how they used shots from a different war. I thought that the normal one was funner to watch than the directors commentary, but the were both definately worth watching. Sometimes the directors commentary was difficult to watch because I was also paying attention to the movies and the subtitles, losing track of what they were saying. It was hard to pay attention to both at once.

Sick

I was sick for the past 2 days so I wasn't in school. While I was laying in bed, I decided that if I didn't do something (besides day dreaming about the skateboarding that I wish I was doing) I would go out of my mind. So i took my video camera, rested in on my bedside table, and recorded myself skateboarding with a little Hotwheel car. I then edited all together on Final Cut, and maybe tonight or over the weekend I'll put in onto youtube and post it on this blog.

I hate being sick.
