Heroes

This weekend was pretty fun! My roomies and I went to Venice Beach to watch the sunset and caught up with our long-time friend from San Diego.

Yesterday for our Music Industry class, Adrian Pasdar and Greg Grunberg from the show Heroes came to speak to us about their acting careers and their band, Band from TV. They were such nice and hilarious guys! I've been watching that show for 3 seasons now so it was awesome to actually see them up close and ask them questions.

Tonight for my Post-production and Editing class, we're going to take a tour of an editing studio and get the scoop of what goes down after shooting a show.

My Directing class is canceled for this week but we need to shoot a scene by next week from our scripts that we've made. It should be pretty fun with the equipment we've been given!

Speaking of filming, the McComb's Next Top Major Competition is due tomorrow! My group and I are in the Supply Chain Management category and we filmed everything during winter break before I left for L.A. My group mates have been so great working on the editing and it's almost good to go! I feel bad for not being there to help out on the last leg of the project but I have faith that it'll be awesome! So everyone better vote for us! I believe online voting is going to open next week and the top two from each category will move on to Round 2! I'm not going to lie though, this competition was harder than expected. It's a lot of information that we had to cram into 3 minutes so I'm hoping it all makes sense! I guess we'll see when it airs next week.

A note on my internships...I got to make my first pitch yesterday in front of the executive producers! It was a quick one but they agreed with what I had to say so it was a success in my opinion! I was pretty nervous but I'm hoping I'll get better at it each week.

Actually, reading all these scripts makes me want to pen one. One of my roommates and I have been thinking of actually writing a feature film or even a TV pilot. It'll probably take a really long time seeing that full scripts are about 120 pages.
