P4 Audio

By Jacob Bates

With this audio assignment, I thought it would be great to read off one of my in progress short stories. I went through a little writing phase, and I thought that being forced to read one of my stories would help me think critically about my writing. It definitely did, and I found a bunch of stuff even in just the first page that needs further refining. Some of the descriptions are a little long winded or unnecessary, but I wanted to practice being my creative when I wrote it. I don’t have a concrete idea for what it’s about, but I was hoping that this dramatic reading of the first page would be a good teaser for people to hear, and want to know what happens after. I didn’t do much sound effects at the start as a lot of it is exposition, but I was very happy with the carnival noise and spooky sounds at the end, it really puts you right there with the main character.

I did a pretty good job recording everything the first try, I just used my phone which made it very convenient, but I would like to check out a field recorder for next time. I just had to edit out some of my small mess ups and cut out some of my longer pauses, overall ending in a pretty good product. I do wish that I had read it a bit more dramatic, but recording anything but my normal voice is very difficult.

P3 RTN

in my report I decided to highlight Effie Brown. She is best known for producing films and TV shows such as, Rocket Science, Real Women Have Curves, Everyday People, and Desert Blue. I choose her specifically because she aims to give people of color and other minorities a voice within her stories. Which is a long term goal I strive to achieve as well.

P2: Riddles – Tristan Daniluk

One sheet, two-sheet, three sheets or four…some use less and some use more. What am I? Toilet Paper!
What has arms and legs, but no head? A Chair!
What can’t be burned in a fire nor drowned in water? Ice Ice Baby!
I have a big mouth and I’m quite a load. I’m not gossip, but I get involved in everyone’s dirty business. What am I? A Vacuum!
Stepping out? Wear me first! I’ll protect your feet from the worst. Shoes!
Tall and strong, I stay outside. The sun, the rain, they’re by my side. I give birds homes and help you breathe. I even give you fruit to eat. A Tree!
Here I come and there I go. I move really fast, anywhere I go. That’s why you take me when you’re in a hurry. When I zoom by, I might look blurry. A Car!
Kick up your feet, if you will. I’ll keep you company through Netflix and chill. Though you might not notice, I’m always here, to hold your zines, your snacks, and beer. A Table!
You say we’re pals, that we’re best friends. But only until the morning ends. You say I give you fuel for the day. And when we’re done, you’re gone away.  A Coffee Machine!
Don’t frown at me, I made it clear. Won’t make a difference if you’re near. Just stand in front and I’ll show you exactly how the world will know you. A Mirror!

P3: RoadTrip Nation: “Roadmap to Careers”

Follow the compelling alternative…you can always go back to make up for what you’ve chosen to forgo

-Kat Cole-
Kat Cole-COO & President of FOCUS Brands

Kat Cole was raised by a single mother who struggled with alcoholism, so she had the responsibility of helping raise her sisters from a young age. She was the first person on either side of her family to get into college, and she didn’t have any examples of family members working in “white collar” jobs.
She started out as an electrical engineering and computer science major, but dropped out before the end of her second year to pursue a job opportunity for Hooters, opening franchises around the world. Ka has worked in the foodservice industry her whole life, starting from the bottom and working her way up—asks, “Who better to run the business than someone who knows every piece of it?” Becoming an executive at Hooters of America when Kat was 26—she experienced imposter syndrome because, in boardrooms, she was usually the youngest, the only woman, and the one with the least education.
Kat decided to go back to school to pursue her MBA at Georgia State University, which she received without ever having earned a bachelor’s degree.
Last but not least, Kat was recruited by FOCUS Brands when she was 31 to become the president of Cinnabon. She is now the president and COO of FOCUS Brands—credits her success to getting involved with rapidly growing companies and constantly desiring to learn more.

P1 about me

I’m a second year multimedia Design student at LCC. I’m originally from Northern California but I’ve lived in Eugene for four years this coming August. I have a primary interest in film production and cinematography. I have a secondary interest in audio production and graphic design/animation graphics. I also take analog film photos as a hobby(@filmfr0g on instagram). During my time at Lane Community College I’ve created a portfolio filled with shorts films, Adobe after effects animation graphics projects, protools and Audition audio recordings, photoshop and illustrator graphic design pieces, Maya animation renders, and photo collections. 

After I graduate this spring I hope to pursue an entry level media career with room for creative projects, or/or save money to further my education and obtain my bachelors degree. The UT Austin film program would be a dream, but I would consider transferring to University of Oregon or UCLA as well depending on the scholarship/grant opportunities and if I have the motivation to regain my California residency. If I choose to further my education I hope to gain more experience in script writing and go onto learning all sides of production including acting and directing. Biiig dreams.
