This was nice! Really enjoyed cinematography, it looks top-notch! Love the use of the slider, particularly at 2:06 to display the ‘growing rage’ in the character.
The only thing I picked up on was that at 0:59 the sound of rustling the bread bag stopped suddenly when it cut to the next shot, but other than that the audio was spot-on too.
I had no idea where this one was heading, but it surprised me in a morbid way. Never back down on a Jinx. 😉
The college I went to had a relatively dated film course, which was completely modernised when I left.
Usually I’d argue that the internet is a better educational source than school is, but when it comes to film colleges the hands-on experience with the industry gear, along with the networking opportunities, makes it worth it. Even if the gear you use is old – the core concepts will remain the same. They have done for years.
Online tutorials are fantastic, and often I learn things from FilmRiot, Philip Bloom, Video Copilot, Blender Guru that I’d never have heard about in my media course. Getting my hands on a studio mixing board, setting up a dolly track or jib and having to sort out a complicated audio setup with XLR cables was highly useful to me. I’ll probably never own a lot of the gear I used in college, but by using it in college I’ve been prepared for jobs and projects which are using that same gear on-set.
I don’t know much about California colleges, but in regards to networking – I can’t think of one job I’ve picked up that hasn’t via word-of-mouth. So absolutely, networking is highly important.
It’s going pretty well!
I didn’t expect people to sign up, but the interest in the site makes me wonder what’s possible.
