With the words there, it looks more balanced. I like it

Not that I have a great artistic eye or anything, I obviously don't but yeah

Hey, everyone! My replies might be a little slow this week and I'm not sure I'll be able to do another video tutorial until next week.

Why, you ask?

I just found out I was selected to compete in the Austin Film Festival Pitch Contest! This is so exciting! I wrote up an idea for a movie and I, along with two of my Advanced Film Production classmates, will get to go before Maggie Malone of Disney, Diana Alverez (co-producer of The Hunger Games) and four other esteemed panelists! With this, we were also granted free entrance to the entire festival over the weekend!

So, this week will be focused on defining and expanding upon my original pitch.

Aaaaah I'm so excited!

Thank you!

I honestly haven't stopped wiggling in joy since I got the news. :3

Your student life makes mine look so much more boring. Wait... it is boring! :((

But really good luck! This movie better be based heavily on What's Eating Gilbert Grape. Or any other Johnny Depp movie.

Beautiful poster, too. I'm in my first year of majoring in Visual Communications but we aren't getting that heavy into the graphic design yet. How does this new one look without the words? Just wondering.

Right as you mentioned it, Arun, I noticed a huge, ugly, gaping HOLE in my project from where I resized the hair stuff... *dies*

But, I fixed it! So, I'm ok.

Fantastic opportunity!

I look forward to hearing how it goes!

So... Last night...

Lst night my family was rear ended last night on 281. We were at a dead stop at a light and some woman managed to slam into us. Those on scene estimate her speed being between 50-60mph. We were hit so hard that our full sized GMC truck pulled a 180 and would have gone into oncoming traffic had my dad not been quick and steered us into a turning lane. He held the steering wheel so hard that he actually bent the frame of his seat. My little sister was in the back seat and got the worst of it. That tough little kid broke the rear windshield with her head and walked away with only whiplash. I was knocked forward and hit my head on the dash; I only have severe muscle strain in my back and neck. For some reason, our airbags didn't deploy. I guess you have to get hit in the front too?

This accident could have been so much worse, but we were all lucky. My dad had actually had a funny feeling all day and said that he should have run the light we stopped at an instant before we were hit. Proof that we should listen to that little voice job our head.

Our tented truck bed.

The point of impact

Frame damage

We started just behind where the far right cop car is.

After 6 hours tied down with a neck brace on, I was allowed to get up. But they didn't take the funny things off of my arms for another hour.

Oh my gosh, I'm so glad you are okay, Edry! That must have been scary
