Witches of Willow Wood

This week I finished the mock book cover for my friend's story called The Witches of Willow Wood. It's about 3 young girls who discover a magical land. It's just the cover though so now I have to go back and do the back cover which I'll post when it's complete.



I went to see the movie Becoming Jane at the Arclight yesterday which is the story of Jane Austen's life, but it made me kind of depressed. She never married but it's the story of her love affair and the reasons they couldn't be together. I prefer when romantic movies have happy endings. Also went to dinner at the Formosa Cafe on Santa Monica Blvd which is a restaurant inside a train car. I liked it a lot there. It felt very cozy and had pretty good food.

Pride and Prejudice trailer

Here's the latest copy of the trailer I made for my editing class. I cut about 12 seconds off it because it was feeling a little long. i might want to go back and play with the audio a bit and try to make it better, but for now I'm pretty happy with the way it's come out. I got to use some of the stuff I learned in my motion graphics class to make the title cards. The next trailer I'm going to start on is The Last King of Scotland so that I have a variety of genres.

Because it's compressed to an mpeg-4 it looks like of pixelated. Oh well.

The end of summer

School's gonna be starting again at USC soon and it's the weirdest feeling not to be going back there with everyone. It's going to be especially strange not to be doing sorority rush school, which was such a consuming process but ended up being pretty fun. Instead, I'll be finishing up this editing class next Thursday and then will have no excuse to not apply for jobs.

Also, i took the plunge and bought a Macbook Pro!! It looks a lot like my other powerbook, but my old computer's over 4 years old and is starting to have problems. The hinge broke off so I couldn't close the screen and it was kind of slow-moving. I tested out my new computer's speed by ripping the DVD for last kind of scotland. On my old computer, it took over 10 hours!! New computer only took a half hour. yaaaay!!! And they had a deal where we could get $200 off a video ipod so I bought one for only $50. It was my lucky day. My old ipod was the very first generation that came out so I'm looking forward to all the cool new video ipod features. I am officially a technology whore now.
