Wednesday

I have been working a lot in Fireworks lately. 

I really enjoy creating banners and graphics, and there is plenty of room for improvement. 

I created a background using a bright color scheme and only squares for my personal blog, but I don't really like it because it is busy and distracts from the text. I am going to change it today in my web design class. 

Yipeeeeeeeee

Recently I have been very interested in writing. I think that this interest spawned from Loghan's script reading, because I realized that I have more to contribute than I thought.

Writing has been, and probably always will be, my strong point in life. I write constantly, whether it be in a journal or on my blog, for official school business, or just a note to a friend.

I decided that I want to try and write a story that is not personal. I think I will do a short film for the high school film festival.

Today I have been scripting the Orchesis Dance Company end of year video that will play at our concert.
 I usually don't script the films I make, and I am already noticing the difference.

As I script, I am able to make changes before hand so that I know exactly what footage I need.
I will tell the story that I want to tell, and not leave it to chance that the story gets told.

I am super super super excited that I have a new spark of life in my work! YAY!

Special Post

Low-gan and I are at a special needs dance...

we are such good citizens. 

Loghan is like... king... of the special needs people...they all love him. 

It's cute. 

the red head is mine and loghan's peer tutor...

Bad Human

I hate that everything is a remix of something else...but at the same time...I love it. 

I don't think there is a way for society to continue to evolve without allowing people to copy

 other people's work.

Yes, it sucks when your work gets copied. 

Especially if you are losing money because your work has been copied. 

Don't think of it as stealing, 

think of it as idolizing. 

If someone loves you enough to make a cheaper version or a better version of something you have already created,

that is a GOOD thing.

Even though it's bad. 

Bad dog. 

Script Reading

I think Loghan has a lot of talent when it comes to scripting.
 The story line was intense, but it did sound like a lot of movies that are already out there.

I would like to see him using his creativity to add something that makes this movie

UNIQUE, which I firmly believe he can do. 

The part that we read did not have much dialogue, however his character developement was pretty impressive for the lack of verbal interactions.

 I am excited to see how he revises and improves upon this script, and I think he has a very good story line to run with.

Now run like the wind, Loghan!

Update

So, life...life is in a slump right now.

I say "um" too much, because I am never sure of anything these days, and "um" fills in when I have something I want to say but can't find the right words because my brain is focussed elsewhere.  

On the plus side,

I am getting really excited about the future, especially now that I have decided on a major!

Are you ready for this?

 Major in Communications with an emphasis in Public Relations.

phew.

I can't wait to get started on college.

As far as media goes, in the future, I feel like most of my focus will be put into my personal blog.

I am going to work and my first purchase will be a good camera, because I find that taking pictures relaxes me and helps me appreciate everything that surrounds me.

It also makes my blog posts more interesting.
