Blog = 4th Grade Journal

Writing these blogs, kind of reminds me of writing my journals in the 4th grade. In both my 4th grade journals and these blogs, we are trying to communicate an idea or something significant happening in our lives. It's kind of funny that after all these years, I'm still in school writing about my thoughts and day to day activities.

In other news, my friend Matt just came home today and I think we're going to hang out. I'm quite excited. I'm writing about this in my communication blog because Matthew is going to school for film at Northwestern University. He is an infallible source of all things movies and media. It's been strange though, I haven't really seen a lot of his movies. It's different though, they have big productions. Me on the other hand, not so much. I try and do things on the cheap, but make it look really expensive and whatnot. One thing that helps to make things look better than they really are is this program Adobe After Effects. Let me tell you, I am a fan of this program. Here is an example I created that helps to elicit what it can do:

What a day to catch a floating Island!!! Using different techniques in this program, I was able to successfully recreate a floating gigantic island. Why you might ask? It's for a movie I'm making!

More to come!!
