Video evening @ MAS

Here’s a fun little post. We did a video shoot for our self-introductions today. Got to play around with the studio, and I was happy that I navigated the space fully knowing exactly what to do. I felt more in my element than ever. I suppose it’s because I had been in those situations before and was somewhat used to the vibe.

At any rate, today was proof that preparation makes life easier. While most people took quite some time in the studio, I went in with a concept in mind – I executed it – finished. In and out. I like that efficiency.

Here’s a bit of photos from my experience today.

Resolve to do more writing…yep…again.

I’ve neglected this blog for far too long — yet again. Blah, blah. Same news, different day. I am very aware of this, but now that I’m taking my creative career path more serious than ever before, I ought to stand by my words this time.

The objective: Blog at least five times a week until the end of the quarter. Once a good habit of writing forms, this should probably go on for even longer than the quarter. I really need the chance to exercise my noggin’ and get the writing juices flowing again.

Now with that introduction out of the way, let’s talk about some updates in my life.

I’ve since moved to San Francisco to pursue a career in copywriting. I hope to one day become a creative director. Where? Possible? Who the fuck knows. Someone’s gotta pursue a pipe dream every now and then. As for the city itself, I find it to be the same exact place I left behind. I know a grip of people who’ve relocated from Seattle. The lifestyle, people, transportation system, food, etc. is exactly the same. I’m not culture shocked at all. If anything, it seems as if I’ve transplanted so seamlessly that people don’t even think twice to assume that I’m a local. Well… maybe that’s a hyperbole. Suffice it to say, I feel very comfortable living here. Although I am a little too comfortable. This is a bad thing. In retrospect, I wish I had chosen to apply for a tougher city (ie. Hamburg, DE). 随便.

I can’t wait for this year to come to a close, so I can move once again and tackle whatever internship comes my way. London, Hamburg, or New York City. We’ll see what hard work and perseverance brings.
