Happy 4th of July! I received this goody in my inbox from my brother today. It’s a superb way to get in the 4th of July spirit!
Uncle Sam would be proud.

Going to Film School
Today I was told over the telephone that I have been accepted for Fall transfer into Emerson College’s film program. This is exciting news! I will finally be studying what I enjoy.
It also means that I will be spending time pumping out film projects the rest of the summer instead of taking courses. So, a lot of new short films and such should be forthcoming.
In fact, I am going to try out some new equipment tonight. Stay tuned!

This is a recording I made with my new Audio-Technica AT4073a microphone today during a thunderstorm. I just set up my camera and mic by an open window and set it to record. This particular segment has a thunder clap that I really like the sound of. I think this stuff will make for some good Foley for my next film project which is sort of a film noir.

The US beat Spain in the Confederations Cup, which puts them in the finals. This is kind of a big deal in the futbol world (which typically excludes the United States). I really like the futbol culture that is universally celebrated overseas and ashamed that we only celebrate American football here in the US.

Youtube has made it easy to follow the latest video developments of Iran’s riots. And really, I feel like that’s about all we can do over here in the US. I guess they know we’re following them with all our social networking sites (CNN loves to point this out and makes frequent references to Twitter throughout the Iran coverage).
I say keep it up, Iran! If I could go there with my camera and laptop to do some vigilante coverage, I would.

Wow, awesome travel tips! Hah! Actually, this guy reminds me of Michael Scott showing off one of his sentimental new gadgets. However, this guy has endless gadgets and isn’t acting.
I think this guy is such a wonderful douche. I love watching him.

This kind of dog reminds me of Danny Devito.
I’ve had my first DSLR for a couple of months now, and I think my photography skills are improving.

I present to you my 3D cow! I did this in Photoshop. Essentially, the way this works is that two images were taken from a slightly adjacent perspective. By animating each photo as a separate layer in Photoshop and flipping back and forth, it appears to be 3 dimensional.
This cow belongs to Bellvale Farms in Bellvale, New York.

I am selling my carbon fiber rail support system for my camera. This bad boy has served me well, but I no longer need it. If you’re in the Boston area, send me an email to my Gmail: TLoganGruber
