We started up classes about a month ago and it’s been a blast as usual. Last week we had Jim Capobianco, the screenwriter for Pixar’s, Ratatouille he came and visited with us. That was really interested to hear the difference between film production and animation. It definitely made me want to learn more about animation and try to incorporate animation into my films.

This week we had a cinematography class taught by Patrick. I requested to learn more about rack focusing and focus pulling, because I am going to be using a lot of that in my next project. So we spent the whole class learning about the different focus settings and space of depth of field around each point of focus. It was extremely helpful and I’m looking forward to using it on my next project now that I know how to apply it to the look I’m going for.

We did a movie trailer for Sharrif’s editing class which was a lot of fun ( as his projects usually are.) I did a film trailer for Baraka. It was a great project to work on because the visuals are amazing. I added some music from my friend’s band called Monkey C. They make Indonesian music mixed with blues and rock. Good stuff!
