Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime. ~Mark Twain

Science of Sound

Sorry for the delay, I've been expecting news and wanted to wait until I had some. I guess I'll just fill you in on where I'm at.

I had two interviews for internships last week. One didn't want me, but it's ok because I wasn't too interested in them either. The other one seemed interested but I haven't been able to get a hold of them for a couple days. Hopefully I can get in contact this week and nail that one down.

In other news, my sound design/mixing/editing is going well. We were assigned a 90 second clip from a major film that has had all the sound removed and have been tasked with adding sound to it (music, sound fx, etc.). I was assigned a clip from The Last of the Mohicans. We were given 2 weeks to finish the assignment but I really want to watch this movie now so I'm trying to get through it as fast as I can. Also it will make things easier when everyone else in my class is rushing to get theirs done next week. I have been intentionally not watching the actual scene because I want to do this on my own without any guide.

And for those that are not aware (probably everyone), The Last of the Mohicans won an Oscar for sound so that's slightly intimidating. I'll post up the finished product when I'm done so you all can see my handiwork.

Other than that I don't really have much else to say. I watched Favre work his magic yesterday. That was a wild ride. Can't wait for Monday night! What a circus that's going to be.
