Well, the meeting happened, and action item 6.1 was voted on. Here is what went down. First action 6.1 was two parted. Part one was to restrict the rating on channel 39 to PG. I believe this rating to be too low and not realistic to the world that we live in. It was tabled for the next year, and will be voted on in January 2011.

It has come to my attention that a board member on the Saddleback College Board of Trustees is trying to get the film department shut down!!! There is a board meeting on January 25th, I repeat Board meeting on January 25th, 2010!!!! The meeting is at 6:00pm in the Health Science Building Conference Room. Please show up and give support for the department and the faculty that make what we do a reality.

well, did a pick up shoot on MLK day (January 18th). Long story, short... It so could have gone better. There were two major issues, one which could not be avoided was the rain. The other that in my opinion could have been prevented was the bar we were shooting at not getting opened until we had been standing around for 3 hours.
People!!! Please nail down what time you need a place to be opened, and who needs to be there. GET PHONE NUMBERS!!!!
What can make a movie look like a film

I have had an interesting summer, worked on my first feature, Biology 101, and my first web-series, Q: the Deconstruction of Cupid. I was a boom op on the feature, and the A1 or “sound guy” on the web-series. These are two completely different animals, but the awesome thing about films is that they have the same prep and execution. One is just a larger scale than the other. The feature had a crew of about 30 working on it during principle photography and the web-series had about 10 of us.
