More Job Research
Running Pony
As of the moment, there aren't any postings for jobs that im interested in, but I'm optimistic about applying here. It's always good to at least be on file when future opportunities arise. I called their intern coordinator, but he is currently on vacation (interning is not the route that I want to go for this company- interns must receive school credit) . However, I located an old job posting for running pony that gives me some insight on what they're looking for in an ideal candidate. From what I've read, they don't carry a very large staff at Running Pony, so the position is probably pretty competitive.

I have spoken with the CEO, Ephie Johnson, about possibly working full time after I graduate. After I leave, they'll basically need someone to do everything that I'm doing now, and I've built a great relationship with the staff. She told me to write her a letter when I graduate about working full time, specifically detailing my. So I will be preparing a specific package for this job, including work that i've done for the company. I think I am a very valuable asset to them, when i started the videos i was working on were pretty rough. But after 2 years, my supervisor and I have grown our videos into something that is weekly televised locally (and that's pretty big).

My sister lives in Nashville, so working here is within reality for me. I really love their After Effects work! It's pretty simple in technique and all stuff that I know how to do. I've always wanted to do commercial work.

I'm hitting dead ends everywhere... No answer from the number I found, just an address to send info. The TPS website has an entry area for prospective candidates, but it's really vague. I want to work for him, but I have no idea how to get into contact with someone directly. They made that very difficult.

Hours logged for progress
The scene with max and his friend is coming together. I feel I pretty much have what i need except for the pitbull part. After sitting down with Max's footage, I feel that its cute but not funny enough (im just talking about the first montage, the second is hilarious).
There were some parts that I will be cutting and reworking. The great dane didn't work out (we tried, but he was not a good sport). The pitbull was also a handfull, but i'm really going to try to get her in there.
At this point, I feel way more behind than I want to be and that makes me a bit nervous. This is probably because I've been directing animals.... when I get to filming the girls I'm sure I'll be much happer. With the dog footage, I filmed way more than necessary to ensure that I have what I need; but it has been a challenge. I actually have a lot of footage of the dogs in more secluded wooded areas, so Im thinking of changing a few things in my script. more specifically, the area when max is alone and finds his way back.
This weekend I will be starting with the scene when the girls first exit their home. Their conversations are actually very short, so this should be a fun shoot.
I'll make this into a chart soon...

Weekend Filming
Saturday Sep 22, 2012
Filming will begin at 3pm outside 8201 Everwood Cove.
Xea and Brittanye are ready for filming this weekend... This will be a 2 weekend shoot because of a few time limitiations we have with the girls' schedules. I was able to pull a leg into using my camera from work for the shoot this weekend, which i like because I've used it so much this summer and I'm comfortable with it. I will be only doing the outside shots this weekend and the interior next weekend. So for this week, I wont be needing lights. I'm both excited and nervous about filming, but I've worked with both girls before and chemistry is well so i'm optimisic (plus they both are very interested in the project). Below is the camera that I will be filming with this weekend. I'm very comfortable with it, so i'm glad to be using it.
I've been working with the footage from filming with the animals and there's still more things that I want to try and film. I'm constantly thinking of different things to try with them. Some moments are funny, some are cute, but I want to push the funny even harder...

Revised Work Schedule
I switched out actors for my older character, Cara, and I'm much more comfortable with my choice. at the moment i don't have a photo, but her name is Brittanye Garret. I feel she is more dependable and I know that she does nothing with her weekends so she'll be available for any reshoots.
I did get some footage during my first weekend of filming, but due to the weather I was pushed back a week in my filming. My second weekend of filming, I did the candid montage shots with both Max and Casper. What I have done so far has been a learning experience. Dogs are exhausting to work with and they do get exhausted in the heat. Overall, Max has been a good sport. There are some shots that I will be re-shooting this weekend due to some shakiness. I wanted the dog footage to be more loose, playful, and sort of dreamlike. Shooting with the zi8 has its limitations (zooming).
Sept 10-14

Running Pony Productions
Memphis, TNRunning Pony, a Memphis video production company and post-production house, is your worry-free solution for the highest-quality production, post, interactive, and duplication. Whether you need corporate video production, TV commercials, online content, crew for national media, or 3D animations, you want it done professionally, on time and within budget. You want unbridled creativity, maximum efficiency and outstanding results with no problems and no excuses.
-at the moment, there aren't any listing on the website pertaining to any jobs related to my area. But I think it will be a good idea for me to send my resume and letter to Running Pony. They produce beautiful work and I'm particularly interested in editing and special effects.
Optimum Studios
I know the owner of the studio, Monroe Ballard, and I've already talked to him about possibly working for him after I graduate. This would be some general filming and editing jobs. I've seen the work produced here, so this could be a nice place to start.Neighborhood Christian Centers Inc.
This is where I currently intern. I would be applying for the position of Multi-Media director. More than likely, I would end up working alongside my current supervisor, and I'm fine with that. The main reason I want to apply here is because of how far we've taken the currently weekly televised program Jr. TRUTH Seekers.Tyler Perry Studios
Atlanta, GAThe website is very vague about their hiring process. There's only a section to input specific information and a space to provide an explaination about why one want to persue a career in this field. I do have the number for the internship employment hotline, so I guess I'll start there. I really would love to do editing work for this company. Tyler Perry has one of the fastest growing production companies and a job with them would be a huge foot through the door into the industry, and a great opportunity to build a lifelong career.

(Churches)
I've recently found out that recording and editing church services can be a pretty good gig! I started to do a bit of it last year, but with my current job plus school, working on those things was extremely tiring. I've talked to quite a few people about this work and its in high demand in Memphis. If I stay here for a while after I graduate, this could be a really good side job.
