LA Life

I’m still here! Woo! I am definitely not missing the Georgia humidity, but I do miss the familiarity of the south. Slowly, I am getting the hang of the area that I am living in. So far, everyone on Grady LA is super fun and friendly. I have not hung out with everyone yet, but it has been good so far.

Visiting Fox Studios on Tuesday was absolutely awesome! Don Sylvester, a sound editor at Fox for feature films, walked the group through the lot and gave insight to the history of the famous company. Don showed the group the process of post production sound. We watched the beginning of Wolverine several times with each step. We also watched a scene from the new film, Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates. Now whenever I watch Fox films all I am going to think about is Don in the editing room and the process he goes through before the film is complete. Of course at the Fox gift shop, I had to buy a ‘Vote for Pedro’ shirt from the movie Napoleon Dynamite. I always wanted a ‘Vote for Pedro’ shirt growing up so I feel like my inner kid is throwing a party whenever I wear it.

Before going to the 12 Monkeys preview, I watched the trailer on IMDb and I was not impressed at all. I was honestly very concerned that I would hate every second of being in that theater. Surprisingly, I did not hate the show. I was very confused for a while though since I had never seen the movie nor any previous episodes.

After the event at the Paley Center, a handful of people and I went to The Hard Rock Café to see a free Grouplove concert. The show was not very long since it was free, but they were shooting promotional stuff for their upcoming album. It was great for a free concert.

Thursday was a very full day with class, movie screening, and standup comedy show. The movie was pretty interesting to watch. I absolutely loved the director's short film that we watched beforehand. The concept was amazing and wrapped perfectly around the point of the short film. I was very inspired while watching.
