This year Campus MovieFest, the largest student film festival, came to Rutgers for the first time. Upon registering each team is given a camera and a Macbook Pro with Final Cut Pro installed and allowed 7 days to produce and submit a 5 minute short. Morgan came to me looking for help, but unfortunately due to prior engagements the best I could do was loan him any and all of my equipment. I wish I had a larger part in this short’s production. Flash forward to last night where we attended the Rutgers CMF Premiere where they would show the top 16 short films and announce the top 3 that would be attending the Regional film festival in New York. Lo and behold, despite being one of the underdog films, Morgan’s production took Best Drama for the night. Look’s like we’re all headed to New York this May! Morgan’s done pretty well for a night of shooting and only a few days of post production.

Here’s to quality snowdays.

Photography 1A

This semester I decided to take Photography 1 because I really wanted to learn darkroom techniques. It’s interesting taking a step away from the LCD screen, I find myself out of habit chimping an imaginary screen. Using an iPhone lightmeter probably isn’t the best way to go about things either. Giselle came over today to help me out with my first project. I feel like a semester’s worth of Tri-X is going to have some sway on what you’ll be seeing in this blog. I’m going to be processing that first role of Tri-X this week and I’m actually a little nervous about it all. Paulo tagged along and snapped an action shot while we were standing out there in some serious skin biting cold.
