Is it me or is this year just flying by?  I must be getting old because that’s what my parents used to say when I was a kid (and now I’m the parent).  To be honest, I was a bit nervous after graduation because it meant I would have to start looking for work (I am sure I am not alone in this).  I was already working two different jobs on campus, but unfortunately I couldn’t keep them because the positions were for students only.  Now, several months after graduation, I feel lucky that my internship and continuing relationship with CSUSM has flourished into several job opportunities.  I have also been busy doing freelance editing for Strategic Operations down in San Diego, as well as shooting a commercial in Orange County.  So all I can say is that I hope to keep staying busy.  Below is the latest video I shot and edited for CSUSM’s annual convocation event.  It was a daunting task because it ended up being twice as long as what CSUSM had originally planned (they wanted a ton of people in the video), but I must say that it flows nicely and feels shorter than it is.  I did have a couple of hiccups with the audio in this one because of a bad microphone and some mischievous wind, but it was an excellent learning experience because I had to remove tons of static and background noises in both Premiere and Soundbooth.  Many thanks go out to my partner Ryan Smith who helped out during the shoots as well as with the audio clean-up and coloring.
