Everything is moving pretty darn fast and in just a couple of days I'll be driving down there with my brother. Questions like "Hey, where am I going to live?" and "What is cooking?" have been popping up lately. But I'm really grateful that the good people of ReelFX are willing to take me in for their Winter Apprenticeship. If all works out I'll be starting on January 9th. Exciting times. It wouldn't suck to come to this every morning:
The apprenticeship is going to last for 6 months and I can't wait to meet all the folks there. It's a huge opportunity for me to grow both personally and professionally. Here's to growing up, weee! Happy New Year!
Oh yeah, the current book list.

The Filmmaker's Eye by Gustavo Mercado
A compilation of camera shots / techniques explained with examples and breakdowns of it being in use. Also shows a case of breaking the technique / rule to great effect and explains that as well. It's a short picture-driven book as it should be and was a nice quick read for anyone new / not-so-new to cinematography. Also Juliette Binoche in Troi Couleurs: Bleu makes for a nice cover. Definitely check out The Three Colors Trilogy if you haven't seen that yet!
