I found Film Independent to be a great resource. I was looking for a blog about filmmaking and the process behind it. There are many different content creators submitting to the blog discussing topics from how to conduct an interview to lessons people have learned through the years. This blog can be a valuable resource for anybody interested in filmmaking or writing. The site itself is very well produced! The content is clean and organized as well as free of ads!

For example one article talks about permits and where they are required when shooting. Meri Hilalian, the author of this article, goes into detail about her interview with LA filmmakers. They talked about how any public space requires a shooting permit. The police are also a major part of filming, such as blocking off roads and keeping the public back from the scene. One subject I really took away from this reading was the parking rule. I had never given it any thought but all cast and crew must park on private property, such as a church parking lot. This is due to an awareness that people do live and work in these areas and they must be respectful of their lives while filming.

This handle has watched the passing of much equipment.

Don’t cross the yellow!

The Center for Student Engagement is home to all of Lane’s clubs.

Lane Community College: Faculty Art Exhibition

I really should buy something from this machine.

Shed to the Rescue!

Being well in life has more impact than just being physically well. 

Mary Jo’s dainty decorations.

This library gem (right across from Shed) has been
a project saver in the world of media arts.

Judy is SO helpful when navigating any media arts program.

This lab is small but a great way to meet other artists.

Reflections tell a lot of the story.

The CCS, short for Construction Coffee Supervisor.

This whole assignment has been a lot of fun! I discovered that treasures were not where I thought they’d be-but that is what made the whole assignment enjoyable. I had almost more fun taking pictures once I found the destination. I lost track of a lot of time….

There’s a zen garden outside, for while your waiting in line.

The first time I entered this room, I also entered  a conversation on apocalyptic Disneyland.

Aside from giant Janga, they also have free popcorn!!!

No picture could grasp all the beauty presented in this space.

Definitely on my to due list to go pick myself up one of these cute little creations.

This girl was so nice when I asked her to be a part of my photo.

I have a picture of myself in this on a college trek a few years ago.

I was trying to quietly take this picture without disturbing the meeting going on with the door open.

It took me way too long to find this room.

Do you see it?

Inside this room is a great computer lab, with even greater chairs.

I love the vibrance the flags add to this building.

I wonder what the turkeys were thinking while I was taking this.
