I am a now a graduate of the Travel Channel Academy!

Today marked the final day of my experience at the travel channel.  I am a little sad that is over.  It was an incredible journey.  I guess there is now going to be an “advanced” course offered now as well.  I hope I can find a way to attend.  Maybe Michael or the Travel Channel will give me a scholarship to that one hehe 

I was caught off guard when very first thing this morning, Michael walked into class, looked at me and said – “Hey man nice blog!”  I was stunned.  A) how the F*&% did he know about my blog, and B) I had only posted my last entry 7 hours earlier!  He said these things just feed directly into his brain!  hehe   He is a cool cat…   All in all, I will miss the rosenblumtv.com staff the most.

Today we finished our voice overs, and audio edits of our second films, the character pieces.  It was really inspiring to see everyone’s finished products.  There were a few standouts in the class that can really output some great content.  Seriously, broadcast quality stuff. Mine included

Overall, I was very pleased with my final product.  Considering the struggles I had yesterday in acquiring a shoot, and in production – I was able to manufacture a great little piece.  In the screening of the clip, there were lots of “Awwwwwww’s” at the cute kids and the back story and I didnt receive a single negative or constructive comment.  What I did receive was a “Great job!” and “really good work” from Michael.  I am satisfied.

After our last session was over, I talked to Sue Norton briefly about my ideas, and direction.  She gave me some helpful advice and ways to make it work.  This is after all, why I came here.  I will be aggressively pursuing this over the coming weeks.  I shot a couple sequences today for my VJ resume for the next job I will be trying to get.  Let’s just say it is basically the best job in the world so wish me luck

Now I am off to just play tourist, and actually see some of the sights this beautiful city has to offer – and hopefully shoot a couple more pieces to go home and craft.  Now I need a laptop.  This keyboard kiosk is nasty, the keys do not work and it keeps making me mis-spell words, and lost my work.  The keyboard is probably coated in west nile virus.  It is FUNKY.  OK… I am off to wah my hands, grab a beer and then head out and find something adventurous to do tonight!  I will write more soon!
