Quite a sunny moon last night.Greetings fellow bloggers and a happy Wednesday. I don't know if any of you took advantage of the full moon last night, but if you didn't, there's what you missed. Fun times with that 64 second shutter.
I just got done with this week's reading, which provided a good review of film terms from the first class as well as introduced me to some new terminology and ideas. For one, I didn't know they referred to 24 fps as "sound speed". On the set for the movie I worked on over the summer, they'd always yell, "Quiet! Rolling! Sound speed!" and now that makes a bit more sense to me. Secondly, being a digital guy, all this talk about dark rooms and actual film is starting to make me jealous that I've never developed my own film before or been in a dark room. Everything I've learned (outside of classes)about f-stops and exposure/shutter speeds has been a result of me experimenting with my digital camera. Not to be mistaken, I still love the digital world, but I don't think getting my hands on some film and a non-digital camera would hurt me.
As for this week's class, I'm going to have to take my one freebie absence as I am headed for Los Angeles at 8am tomorrow. I'm visiting a friend of mine, a production designer in town, whose out there working on a film. I'll be working on set with him Friday so expect a blog(s) with some pictures and perhaps even a vlog...
See you all next week.

Hope all is well in LA. Yes, please post those pictures/video. I know it's not on the subject of one-minute experimental films, but it's ok to digress every once in awhile. Plus, I'm sure, we'll all be curious.
