| Big Names in Film |
It's been quite the week. I was fortunate enough to travel to California and Las Vegas this week. Both locations contained separate enjoyments.
First, I visited Simi Valley, CA to attend the Sonscreen Film Festival. It was very well put together. There were plenty of people to talk to, seminars to listen to, and films to watch. The quality of the films was really great. I enjoyed watching many of the films and it made me proud to be a filmmaker. I was blessed to have won the award for "best documentary" in the festival. I entered my documentary, "The Golden Glove" featuring Ryan Martin. It was nice to hear feedback and have it screened in front of a new audience.
The next adventure was in Joshua Tree National Park. My coworkers and I spent the (cold) night in Joshua Tree shooting astro time lapses. It was fun but also challenging. My lens ended up frosting over halfway through the night. You can see a sample shot from the portion that worked out.
From there we flew out to Vegas to attend NAB. This was my first time attending NAB, and wow there was a lot to see. I definitely didn't see everything there but I think I covered what I wanted to see. There are so many new great products coming in the near future. It blows my mind. I'm glad I was able to see the new products and also a highlight was listening to lectures by big names like Philip Bloom and Vincent Laforet. What a great week!
