I had sound lab today, and we played with these incredibly smart computer recording devices. We plug the boom mics into them and control the sound with this little blinky machine. It's blinky because it has green, red, and blue lights that light up. Pretty neat.
So, this machine is so smart, it will record the same sound under a different file for every take of the same scene. Then it creates its own folders. It's kind of crazy. But very cool.
Also, our sound professor created his own stand for holding the little recording device, and the sound logs. He took this tripod and these other things and this police officer's ticket-writing stand, and put it all together. It's quite incredible. I wish I took a picture. But I didn't. So. Moving on.
We were supposed to have directing class tonight, but it was cancelled so we could go to this pre-screening of For a Good Time, Call, the movie that was made by two film school alumni. They gave us free tickets to the screening, which I thought was just incredible.
The people at the door checked us to make sure we didn't have video cameras and metal detected us. It was pretty crazy!
Also, the theater was HUGE! It was like stadium seating,where some seats were high up and then they tapered down. People couldn't believe I'd never been to a theater that big before, but I haven't. And it was cool.
Long story short, no night class and free movies are two awesome things. Also, it was cool to see some alumni in action. Well, not in action, but you get it.
Sound recorder!
