Here it is. The winner and other prize-winners are being announced in March 6th.

This Blog is So Dull Now, sorry for the lack of anything original. Maybe I'll actually make a video soon.
Haven't been doing much video-wise recently except for extensively looking for things I can't afford and won't be able to for a while. What else is to be expected?
So here are two videos. The first is pretty interesting to me because it's similar to a lifestyle I might want to live, not exactly, but close. I currently think that in the future, I'd really just like to do freelance photography and videography. It lets you have so many unique experiences and meet so many unique people. Kirill seems like he mostly wants to live, and only uses photography to stay afloat more than to have a job. I generally think that I could make a career out of this...which makes me quite uninspired to do much in terms of work not any bit related to it. Sorry school, but I just don't find you relevant or necessary all to often. Yes, it's important, but not always, plenty often, nowadays, do I find myself thinking that what I'm learning is just not important to living a quality life as a quality, intelligent person. I also think that intelligence isn't that relevant, but rather wisdom. Also, props to that outro animation. *Contains plenty of explicit language, not that that should matter*
Alright, this other video is simply amazing. Hint the "Original" quality on YouTube, for those of you who can watch it in 4k, do so. Yes, Red Bull and other energy drinks have somewhat taken over the industry of extreme/street sports videos, possibly for the worse, but at least they're ridiculously well made. I reall appreciate good editing and cinematography, obviously.

Silver Chips Photography Portfolio Pics
So, I want to try and be a photographer for the school newspaper Silver Chips next year. Photography is getting more and more itneresting to me. However, to be on the staff, you need to submit a portfolio to the head photographer, which happens to be my sister. I didn't know it needed to be done within a week or two (and aparently she didn't either), so I've kinda been scrambling for photos the last few days. I still need more action shots, but it only needs to be between 8 and 12 photos, so it's not that bad. I went out with a few friends to the local city and decided to take some pictures. I borrowed my sister's trusty 50mm f/1.8 and that is what resulted:

It's Been a While.
I haven't really done much on this in a while. Had midterms and what not, so I've not had the time to do much with videos, but now I have time once again...-ish. A friend of mine recently hooked me up with a job to make a typography music video for a rapper in Baltimore. He wants to present it to a record label and hopefully get signed. I'm definitely excited about this project because, well, it's legit, getting paid, it's experience, and it's a start to what can hopefully become a more frequent job. I'd really like to be able to do video and photography (maybe...interested, but have a ways to go) for a career. I enjoy it and I think it's definitely a job that is and will be valued in the future. It's so versatile. Videos or photos can be done for nearly anything: weddings, conferences, sports, parties, concerts, etc.
For me, this project is a three step process.
1. I'm making a 25-30 second preview to show him so he knows what it's looking like, can give input, etc. (Done in a day or two)
2. Then a 1:30-2:30 version for the record label because he'd like it relatively soon and it's a really long, time-consuming process. (Let's give it 2-3 weeks?)
3. Finally, the full 7 minute version for YouTube and other pages. (A good month)
I'm estimating it'll end up taking around 75 hours based on my current pacing.

This is a video that he sent me for some inspiration and is, ideally, similar to the final product.
