Hunting with Scavengers for Intro to Media Arts

Sp15-P3 Blog Search – Indie Tips
The blog Indie Tips is exactly what you think, tips for indie film makers. I had no idea about this site until I searched “cinematography blogs” and found a article with “the top 10 film sites you should visit every day”. Now that I found Indie Tips, I honestly probably will visit the site everyday. Indie sites has everything you could think of, it has tips on directing, editing, writing and DSLR cameras with example from large production movies you may love or hate. Not only is there tips on producing but they have reviews on trending movies just released and a page called “Film Talk” where they talk about history, behind the scenes facts, rumors, rants and other random articles like “Lord of the Rings explained in four minutes” that are well worth the read.
The site does a very good job of categorizing their different topics which is very helpful if your not good with navigating a website or if your not familiar with cinematography terms. The site is very clean and simply laid out which also makes it easier to navigate. at the bottom of each page is has a “About the author” post, which is a brief overview of who wrote the article. Below the “About the Author”post they have a “You may also like” section showing different articles that you may be interested in. The site looks fairly new because in all of the different categories there aren’t that many posts. For example when you click on the directing tap a drop down menu appears with “Acting” and “Producing”. The acting page only has one post, and the producing page only has three. I know I said I would probably be on there everyday, but it wont be more than one or two videos a day before I have watched them all.
Overall this is a great site with great information.

I am so very honored to say that I am friends with this magnificent artist! Illustrator, designer, concepts – Danny Hirajeta does it all. He’s worked on album covers for bands (CD artwork/album books), made his own tarot card decks, journal covers, comics, and has been selling his own prints for as long as I can remember.
His site is simple & basic. It’s beautifully framed by some of his work and his logo and studio name stand clear and visible for you to see when you first enter the site. Tumblr is his blog server of choice, though I also happen to know he has a Facebook page as well. Unfortunately the only way to find this out is if you google it, as the goober doesn’t have any external links and/or contact information for people who are interested. I would say that is a huge benefit lost for him — many people who look at it might want to get in touch with him and not know how, especially if they don’t have a Tumblr on their own.
Despite the lack of artist information on there I’d say there are several other informative qualities about his blog. It’s an excellent place to see examples of exquisite rules of design and color put into practice. His line work is gorgeous, his composition equally complimentary, and the shading beautifully done. It’s a great site to come see examples of professional design & illustration!
There isn’t much text involved but he does put little blog excerpts into every art post he makes. Sometimes they contain links or relevant information about the piece, but overall I wouldn’t say this is a life-story blog with lots of text. Instead it functions more like a portfolio where his blog is told in pictures and stories, and though it may not give you an insight into every personal thing he’s up to these days it always keeps you coming back wanting more! Eye candy. Beautiful, morbid eye candy. Who doesn’t want that, right?

The Great LCC Scavenge By Drew Eggers
#1. Teresa’s Office
We started the hunt out visiting Teresa’s office. Reminds me of my door back home with a bunch of fun stuff on it.
#2. Blue Cyc Wall
The mighty blue wall. You got to love the ability to insert yourself anywhere.
#3 Equipment Checkout
Equipment check 1, 2! Equipment check 1, 2!
#4. Main Art Gallery
The art gallery had some very interesting pieces. Very good work that was done.
#5. Art O Mat
What looks like a cigarette dispenser, is actually an art dispenser. Clever idea to sell art.
#6. Reference Counter in the Library
It was a little weird taking a picture in the library, but I got it done.
#7. Silver Sculpture
I pass by this statue every day but I still had no idea where it was. Reminds me of a big tooth.
#8. Mary Jo Kreindel’s Office
Mary Jo Kreindel’s Office
#9. The Bus Stop
Just another day at the bus stop for these folks.
#10. Christina Salter’s Office
This office was the toughest place to find on the whole hunt. After a long time of walking around , I finally found it.
#11. The Commons
I walked past this area twice and had no idea it was the commons, but I know now.
#12. The Flags
My first day at Lane I was in this building, so I always think of the flags when thinking back to my first moments at LCC.
#13. Construction Shot
This was my favorite picture I took out of all of them. It said to get creative on the sheet, so I though taking a pictures of workers looking at me would be good.
