film fashion and drums

just recently ive got in touch with my producing and editing self. it has been maybe 1 year since ive touched an editing program, because back in the day my cousin and I including my brother, would film various activities and send to each other, it would be so heart warming and very fun to do these different short films. It came to the point where I knew how to adjust each effect and cut clips here and there to make them look nice and it was going really well. then all of a sudden i stopped making short clips and editing as a whole. it was kind of weird actually, i kinda know how this happened but i wouldnt want to explain in great detail. it was just recently, maybe weeks now, where i would be editing these old clips that my cousin gave me, or trying to edit, where it was at a point where, "damn how the hell do i work one of these things." it was so weird trying to figure everything out again, it seemed like i was at the starting point. as i got used to making clips and such, trying to send to my brother cause he is hundres of miles away, i got better at what i was doing, so i ended up getting this program for my mac called final cut pro, and boy o boy was this program a big hand full.



but as i started to use this application a bunch of information started hitting me, it was as if i was 5 years old again getting beaned in the nose by someone (name will be disclosed) and yelling randy johnson. but that is neither here nor there. there was another program called adobe premiere that i used to work with, and it had pretty much the same user interface as the final cut application. i started to hone my skills down a little more and made a little trailer for my brothers to show them how i was doing and that i got a little movie heading their way. and boy was i getting better by the day, the only bad thing is that my canon camera that my brother sent over is out of battery =[ now i must buy a damn 40 dollar charger, but its ok itll be put to good use. while in my editing and film mode i was brainstorming some facts and stories that i could put in this little video of mine, and boy they are gonna get GOT! lets just say some of the video will have some of _________ and a little bit of _____ yeah do it. well heres a little sample vid that i sent to my brother its kind of short but yeah tell me what you think



with all this editing taking place, my other hobbies were either suffering or getting stronger

for one, i used to love shoes, everything to me would be about shoes, like man those shoes this and damn those shoes remind me of when this happened or damn jordan did that in these, but its like man its only shoes..i mean dont get me wrong im still going to cop the shit that i like, but i wont be obsessing over shoes that i dont really need. to me shoes used to be everything, but now shoes is just further down on my priorities

one of my hobbies that got stronger is my drumming. while out here in vegas i either usually skate or go on youtube to check drum rudiments and try them on my drum pad. its pretty crazy what traveling to another state can do to you. before in chicago i wouldnt even touch my drum pad, but now i touch it like everyday trying to get my technique better and my time. i just hope to start taking these lessons asap so i could start a little something something back home.

moving to another state with no friends and no brothers can be hard, but learning more about who i am is better than being home and doing nothing
