I know this makes me a bad person....

but I gotta know am I the only one who thinks David Archuleta sounds like Kermit the frog?

I know he's only 17 and singing so much makes you loose your voice but it seems to be his natural voice.

Maybe I'm the only one but I had to say it.

Something to Boggle on a Blogger

So I've been looking into transfering LPs to MP3s, not for me but because people keep asking me if I can do it. So I am thinking of adding it to my services (3 years of film school and what I end up doing most transfering stuff ha ha) but I cannot for the life of me understand why people want it.

Now I can understand not wanting to re-buy all you albums and wanting them on your ipod. But from the pricing I've been doing it is about $10 at least per album which is the itunes price usually.

I know they used to have recordable records that people would make personal and family recordings on, so I get that, but are there that many albums out of print or do people really just refuse to buy all digital versions?

So if anyone out there could enlighten me on why on earth someone would want to transfer their entire record collection please let me know.

A sigh of relief

OK So people always talked about how hard the first year of teaching is and as it turns out they were completely right. Add on top of it I spent almost an entire semester without equipment and I was really beginning to feel like I would have just as much success talking to a wall as my students.

Well we are almost halfway through second semester and half the students were working on an editing assignment and the other half a group music video. The music video students turned in their project this last week and I have to say I am quite proud of them. I posted the best of them below. None of them have taken a video class before and I feel a little conceit in my pride for them. Especially for the first video.

The Girl mostly behind it talked to me today about maybe going to college and getting a degree Film which is a big deal for her as college is neither expected or encouraged in the area. This is also a girl who begged me to let her do something different than the editing assignment they had for their final last semester because she was so frustrated with it. But she worked really hard and pushed past it and I really think it paid off. I finally feel as if I'm actually teaching them something. Anyways take a look.
