*Obligatory comment about lack of posting regularly* Now that that is out of the way.
Hi friends,
Life is pretty swell and I came to school completely unprepared for the amount of work I would finish, so I found myself with nothing to do. That means you have to suffer through another update. Today was the best day weather-wise this whole winter. No, it was not the mild plus 6 type of weather that tomorrow is calling for.It was the step outside into the wind and the cold takes your breath away minus 26 sort of freezing cold type of day and it could not have made me any happier. The snow was crisp and crunchy and the sky was clear and sunny. If you bundled up just enough to face the elements today was a thing of beauty.
I may have mentioned before that I was helping a prof make some music videos for the St. John's Ukulele Orchestra. With small groups of student volunteers and the band members we have filmed three music videos for the unconventional band. The Faculty of Arts took notice and did a write up for the university website about the videos and I got to do an interview for them, an interview that you can read right HERE, there is a link at the bottom of the article that will allow you to see the music videos themselves if you haven't already seen them. The music videos are at least worth a watch and as the credits roll by be sure to keep an eye out for a familiar name listed under cameraman for each of the shoots. I have really enjoyed making the videos and apparently I am a natural when it comes to working with the camera so recent plans now possibly include film school in the future. The Faculty of Arts is also forming a committee to decide on a new film that they are planning on making and they have asked if I would be interested in sitting in on the committee. As well the Harlow program is in need of a new video and I may be (read I will sell my first born to go) headed there in July of 2013 (fingers crossed)
Did I mention that I have applied to Graduate? well I have! It is both exciting and terrifying to think that when April 20th rolls around I will no longer be attending MUN at least until I do the Harlow program and then my education degree. I also hope to attend film school some time in the future as I have previously noted. I haven't given much thought as to which film school or where but I have heard good things about VFS (Vancouver Film School) though it is pricey.
I need to get to class I will be back soon (relatively soonish that is)
Later Days
Patrick
