Student Opportunity

- OU RUGBY

The OU Rugby team needs some students to shoot and edit a couple of 

matches.  They will be working on a new video marketing plan that you

could be a part of.  The team is also part of a new league that has 

secured television rights with NBC.  Your footage and promo videos that 

you create for the team will most likely end up on NBC during the 

broadcast.  This is a great resume project.   If you are interested see 

Mr. K or Mrs. Smith.

Final Cut Pro Lesson 2 (WHEW)

What did you learn in Final Cut Pro Lesson 2 that you can add to your "editors tool kit" ?

Color - Primary In Room

Color balance controls (color wheels & HSL sliders), curves, auto balance. Any questions??

If you have been absent, check the wiki. There are podcasts for each lesson and usually an assignment!

Both Entertainment and Art

I recently rented The American, a George Clooney movie about an assassin who declares that he is on his last assignment. The movie has a very slow pace and little dialogue. It's not your typical movie about an assassin! Instead of watching him kill people or set up a plan or really talk to anyone about anything, you watch him in his day-to-day loneliness. The film is a character study of a very professional, talented man who is also very lonely.

What was remarkable to me about this film was how the acting (without speaking) and editing told the story. I didn't need to hear Clooney say he was lonely and wanted out of his life; I could see it in his eyes. (I swear at one point his eyes were so big he looked like Puss in Boots from the Shrek movies.) I didn't need to be told that he was highly skilled; I got to see it in montages of him assembling a weapon from scratch. Every shot was framed beautifully, and it flowed together smoothly. The editing created the pace, and the pace told the story.

I'm certain many people would not like this film. "It was boring!" "No action!" But for anyone who truly enjoys great acting, fluid editing and beautiful cinematography, this is a great film. I was riveted. And trust me, I fall asleep easily these days, so this says a lot!

I can't encourage you enough to watch films that might be out of the ordinary. Sure the top two films this week were an Adam Sandler movie and a 3D Justin Bieber experience that I'm sure will change your life. But is there something else you could go see that is both art and entertainment?

Color - The 8 Rooms and You

Yesterday we did an overview of Color, focusing on the 8 rooms. Do you understand the differences in the rooms and why there are so many just to make changes to the color?

Ask questions now instead of getting (and staying) confused!!!!!
