Well I'm home now and settled back into the groove. The last day of the class trip was cool as we went to USC and saw some really neat bits of using technology. The Motion Capture Studio was incredible and the tour overall was great, but, I realized the school is so way out of my financial situation that it isn't funny. Next we went to KCET an independent TV station that was a Public Broadcast Station not so long ago. Wow, was their equipment eye opening, especially their Green Screen Studio. After that we went to Cal State Northridge. The tour was fine, people were fine, but it just didn't seem like they were all that up to date with respect to equipment. Their Radio station on campus doesn't even use students for the on-air positions which I find totally unreasonable. The best a student can do is to be an intern for the "Paid Professionals" who do the air shifts.

What's Up With That?

This weeks show is just about ready to be up loaded to the website

Had a real cool day today in class down here in Hollywood. Toured the Warner Brothers studios first, then we had lunch at Bob's Big Boy, # 49, then we went to a taping of the late late show with Craig Ferguson. Really awesome because our professor Gary Martin was pulled out of the crowd by Craig during a break and made his debut on national TV. 12:30 here on the left coast. After that we got a tour of the control rooms by one of Gary's former students at CRC who is the Technical Director for the late late show, way unexpected, not even on the tour and extreme last minute, like just before the show started. After that we got an even cooler tour of the show sets and throughout the bowels of CBS, and everywhere we could go, by Alan Takaguchi (sp?), who is the Director of Technicians and Productions if I understood him correctly. Now it's just wait up till Gary makes his debut. Tomorrow we tour Cal-State Northridge, and The USC Film Center before heading home tomorrow afternoon. Whew, what a day it has been.
