Here again...

When I started studying film, I was a little afraid of how it would be. In first year my expectations where overtaken, we did and learn a lot about film and it's derivatives, all of that plus so much practice with all the equipment. It was like a dream year, very productive and fun. BUT this second year of career has been a truly hell, it's like a completely other career, we left aside like the most of the good things we did last year and it turned everything focused on semiotic and sociology. I'm not saying that this is wrong but I think it's too much, unfortunately for me this has been always the focus of the university (-.-) . To give you an example of what I'm saying, we only have two screenwriting subject (That is more like one), two direction of photography subject and just one art direction in the whole curriculum, while we have about to four subjects related to sociology.... The main problem with this is that we spend almost all of the time reading and writing essays instead of filming or writing. I'm not the only one in my generation who think this, the most of the people I have question about it said to me the same I'm mentioning you.

About the teaching methods is kind of irregular, there are so many amazing teachers, who inspire me and there are some "shitty" teachers too, who are notoriously not interested about help their students, but these last are a minority, so it's ok. Now, about the infraestructure it's not the best but neither the worst, at least we have a TV studio and editing rooms; the only problem I have sometimes is the stock of equipment that is highly limited in some cases.

This post was more like a therapy, sorry about that . ok

SUMMER PLANS

Hi everybody.....again.

It's November yet and I've even thinked about what I'm going to do on my summer vacations :O
This last period has been about how the heck I'll save all the subjects I have, and they are so much.
As I analized the current situation I'm on, I think that my plan for these vacations will be working, I need money ( we all need it unfortunately :( ) to start making some of the little projects I have thinked, so I'm think that my next step is movng from academic streess to a beautiful labour stress.
But obviously, I'm thinking about take a break of working and give me a few weeks to see my family, because I can't see them almost the whole year except of the winter vacations  and I'll some friends maybe .
Go to camping could be an excellent option now, to breathe fresh air and enjoy some beach or lake, probably en the south side of the country, maybe in some national park like Conguillio or some Northem beach  like Pan de Azúcar or Bahía Inglesa to enjoy the nature, take some pictures, make a bonfire and talk about marthians, ghost and another conspiracies of the multiverse hahaha. Also changing airs and refreshing my mind I'm thinking about write ideas to realize during the year (The little projects I'd mentioned at the beginning of this blog).

That's all. For now, I just have my focus on survive this last and diabolic semester that is killing me in a very unfair battle to death.                                 



                                                   :                                           )

Hope you have some amazing vacations , sleep a lot, eat a lot and "vaciles" a lot too. shao

Postgraduate Studies

Hello again, dudes!

I would like to take a lot of postgraduate courses, I'm think that is pretty cool to choose exactly what you want to learn and avoiding the "extra content" you don't need. The courses I want to take are more focused in technique habilities more than everything. Cinematography (Photography for films), Animation (2D & 3D), special effects (Digital and make up) and something about music or sound.

I want to do this courses that aren't the most formal ones in a place where the level of the artist who teach them be high, I mean, people with a lot of experience and innovator spirit in each field; that means that I probably have to go abroad to get what I want, because here in Chile the film industry it's like a baby compared with the industry in other countries. My idea is to learn in situ, so distance learning isn't an option for me, I want to get real feedback and be able to discuss every doubt I could have in the process of learning.

These things are, of course kind of unrealistic hahahah, but they are what I want to get (in a beautiful and utopian world) I'll be satisfied if I can get just one of them, that's enough for me, but per now I'll keep dreaming. Also those courses aren't necessary to be formal one's, by having a "master" who teach you, just for love of art.

In these last posts I really look like the most innocent dreamer in the entire world hahahaha, and that's true, but it's the only way to keep motivated. Thank's for reading and don't forget to suscribe, click thumbs up and leaving a comment and  a +10.

My Favorite Movie

This is one of these one of those questions I even have to think a second to have the answer. My favorite all times movie is "The Godfather", by far the best movie I have ever seen. There are so many amazing things about this movie, starting by the casting, the photography, soundtrack, the story, and the movie itself, the way this was made, directed by the legendary Francis Ford Coppola. One of the things I like most about the film is that it have so much plot twists that make you be constatnly more interested the movie. Some people say that a good movie need to have at least one good scene to remember, and in this movie you can easily count at least 4 amazing scenes. (I'm not going to dwell on these, because I could be writing about the Godfather the whole day)

I like every kind of good movie, no matter the theme or genre, and for my, a good movie have to make you feel a lot and makes you think about them a lot after watched it, something like someone you like.

The last movie I've seen was "Tokyo Vampire Hotel" from Sion Sono, who is a pretty rad director, very versatile. I didn't like this movie so much, but I suggest you to watch some movies of this director like "Love Exposure" that is almost four hours lenght, but impressively really fun to watch, it's like a rollercoaster of emotions, from loud guffaws to tears. Amaizng.

So... that's all for today, make sure to watch these movies for your personal health.

My Favorite Book

Hello everyone. Today's blog is about what's my favorite book, and this is called "Las intermitencias de la muerte" by José Saramago. It's such an enternaining book that make you be pending on what is going to happen next, and is a really crazy fiction story with some romance in there in a rare way. (I highly recommend you to read it)
I chose this book because it came to me by a recomendation and it was one of these "revelations" that happen sometimes.

My favorite author in this moment is Ray Bradbury, I've read a tales book from when he starts writting, before he began writing science fiction; these tales are about crimes and it's called "Crimes Memory". I like this book because it have many crazy and fun stories to read.
I'm open to read every kind of book, no matter the genre, but latelly I've been  reading a lot of tales. I like them so much, if you have no much time to spend reading a big book there are an amazing option to refresh your mind from the stress of the university.

I hope you liked this blog and I invite you to read one of these books, I warantee you a good time, for sure. B    Y     E       B    Y     E

My Future (I hope) Job

In my short experience in this diabolical labour system I've been constantly thinking about how my labour life will be in the near future. Having a "boss" in your back telling you what to do and how to do it every time has been the main issue during my experience, it's something that I can't bear. I like to be "free" doing what I like, so I think my perfect job it would be as a freelancer, being my own boss. Working indoor or outdoor it wouldn't be a problem, I like both, working inside a studio or outdoors.

 Travelling a lot would be a dream; knowing a lot of people who you learn from, many cultures and at the same time giving your own knowledge to them, it's that feedback what it really worth about travelling, never stop learning as a person aswell as an "artist" or whatever you do.

I know that I'll probably not become a millionare doing what I'm studying for (and I'm interested anyways) but I'll like to have enough to bring my projects to life and maybe give my parents a little retribution for all these years they helped me. 

I'm studying film and I want to grow up as a filmmaker, learn new things, specially about animation and music; but I also want to continue my journey of becoming a tattoo artist. 

Overall I think it's hard to get a dream job, but having the motivation to do what you want will help a lot to making that way much easier.

Best Holidays or Best Holidays?

Pretty hard to choose again... I think that the most of my holidays has been as good as the others, but there are some special ones. I don't even remember exactly when it was, but I remember that there was almost the hole family (on the part of my mom), even my godparents from Punta Arenas and my uncles and aunts from there, who I almost never see, because of the distance, it's hard to them to travel, it's so expensive to pay airplane tickets for a hole family.

This was in the counstryside, in my grandparents house, located in Cunco. We did a lot of entertaining things, we ate so much and went to different places, like lakes, hot springs and the mountain range. They where like 2 hectic week and we had so much fun.

Although they weren't the most extravagant holidays, they were the best ones for me because of the people I shared with, so much good memories we lived in my grandparents house, that is like a reunion point for the family who are quite far away each other during the regular year.
