I actually forgot I had to do another little project last week. I guess because everyone else that works there has written a little blurb/mini essay about themselves and their interests, I also had to write one. So, it took me a while because I am a slow writer; it took me a few drafts but eventually I wrote something worth reading. So, i'm not sure if it is up on the website yet because they just got there website redone. In the midst of all of this we have been critiquing and suggesting minor changes in the website that is now being created and finalized. That was kind of cool, because for once I guess I knew more about a specific topic than anybody else in there because it was strictly graphic design related.
The second project that I had to do was some footage transcription. I actually had to do it for a trailer but that only took about 2 hrs. or so, but that wasn't really a project. For the documentary they just made titled the "the List", they needed a transcript for it. This job I was not too excited to do. I guess the cool parts about it where that I am learning more and more about editing (because I get to see all of the raw footage and the final condensed footage) and I got to see how a script is written and actually write it. It actually was okay at first because at the time it was given to me they had only edited about 40 minutes of the film. Of course right when I finished it they gave me the rest of the film. (That sucked) This was tedious not because the documentary is about an hour and a half, but because there were many foreigners in film. Mostly everyone that was in the film were native of Iraq, so it was very difficult to understand their speech. That took me a solid 3 full days to finish.
As far as the environment goes, things have gotten a lot better. I'm more comfortable with everyone in the work area and vice versa. And I just got invited to a theatrical play with a couple of co-workers, so thats pretty cool.
