One Step Closer to Graduation

While I was pretty nervous when I first started Capstone, in the end everything turned out really great and it was a eye opening experience. To create something that I had truly wanted to create for a long time was an indescribable feeling for me. I was extremely with how "Through Different Eyes" turned out simply because it was what I had envisioned the moment I had the idea to do it. The most memorable part about the whole experience was when I had finished the video. I wanted to show it to so many people, and that was something new for me. I was truly proud of what I had made and was really happy with the positive reception I got. Even with all the stress of presenting it to the whole faculty, I stuck it out and got through. Overall, my experience in capstone was really awesome to me simply because I got to do something that I love and added another piece to my portfolio. I most definitely consider "Through Different Eyes" to be my best work so far, and I can't wait to see what I make next to further develop my style.

Think Fast!

During the final stretch of the semester at Shepherd University, they brought in a live trivia game show for students to participate in called "Think Fast!" Some friends and I got to attend the event and even though we did not get to go on stage, it was fun just sitting and participating in the audience. The questions that were asked referred to a wide variety of pop culture references which really made this even fun for students. There was a lot of energy at this event as people in the audience were screaming and trying to help out their friends who were on stage. One of the coolest parts about this was that some of the questions they were asking referred back to some of our earliest childhood memories. For example, some of the questions asked you what a specific song was, and in some cases it was the theme song from a cartoon that was popular when we were growing up. That being said, this event was not only referring to recent pop culture, but to things that are nostalgic to the student body. In the end, the match was extremely close with the person who came in second only being one question behind the winner. The contestants got a variety of prizes just from participating, and the winner actually got a pretty hefty cash prize which is pretty awesome! With the stress of finals week creeping up, this event was definitely a great opportunity to get out, clear your head, and just relax and have fun.

A Night at the Movies: Horrible Bosses 2

I had the pleasure of being able to take a trip to the movies and see Horrible Bosses 2 the other week. Since this is the second installment in the series, I was a little bit skeptical about going to see it. The first movie was absolutely hilarious due to an extremely diverse and well picked cast. When I first saw that this movie was coming out I had no idea what they could possibly use to make a story possible. After watching, I was completely satisfied with the sequel and thought that they did a fantastic job on it. The movie was just as funny as the first movie and the original cast was brought back along with some new characters as well. Not only was the movie hilarious, but it was beautifully shot. The cinematography was awesome and they even had some really well edited sequences throughout. Like the first movie, the strongest aspect was the cast. Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day all work so well together. With the additions of Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Spacey, Jamie Foxx, Chris Pine, and Christoph Waltz, this movie hosted a cast full of stars. If you are a fan of the first film, I highly recommend that you go see this movie and get some good laughs out.
