I am layed on my bed watching YouTube. Some of these videos have given me some ideas for what I could do for Adobe Premier. I will try to recreate these things for cooler effects, such as video transitions for images or video clips to go smoother. Also, for the Wii-mote project, I will get the necessary materials (markers and double A batteries). I am very excited about the Wii-mote smart board project, it will rock.

Today we talked about the project for the Wii-mote projects, sounds very exciting. All my friends will be jealous. This is a very cool project. This weekend I will go buy two pens and batteries so we can start building. From now on I will probably use those things a lot, using my Wii-motes from home. This project sounds kind of simple, but I hope it works out OK. It is a bit hard to get all the materials, but once you have them all I hope the result is amazing, it will be. Now I will continue working on my Premier project, while thinking about the pen building.

Today I continued working on my project, and had a little social time with Katie, and you, Ms. Norman. I can actually say that because only you will read this. So, next class I'll try to add more effects and "cool stuff" into my video, and hopefully it'll match the music perfectly. It is a very difficult job to do, especially the editing of effects to make the video match to the music. So, that's what I'll do next class, and anything else we need to do.

Today I continued working on my Adobe Premier Pro project. I learned a few things about editing film start and end points, pretty useful without having to alter the original source. This will help me duplicating sequences also, easier to duplicate the whole nested files, than a group of files one by one. Next class I will continue working on the project, hopefully get lots done so I can have something to show.

Today I went to the movies and saw Yes Man, it was a good movie. It gave me some ideas about what I can do with Adobe Premiere Pro. Learn from the pros. The best way to come up with ideas is to be around people with ideas. Next class I will try some new stuff with Adobe Premiere, hopefully they come out as I would like them to come out, and get a decent project result.

Today I REALLY finished the Illustrator project, finished lesson 13, which worked with symbols. I learned a useful tool there, the symbol spray painter, which allowed you to paint with symbols basically. Next class we will start using Adobe Premier, which I think works with movies. I want to learn more about that. Maybe we can edit movies easier, we can be famous on YouTube. That would be fun. Get a million view. That's a lot. So anyways, I will not play games next class, and I will work around Premier to get used to it, and do projects with it.

Today I finished the Illustrator projects. The tutorials teached how to use lots of tools, explained thoroughly, but you have to follow instructions carefully. The projects were rather simple, but complicated tools and effects needed to be used to finish them. The projects seem simple at the end, but now that I know how to do them, I can appreciate them more. It looks easy to do, but it really requires lots of time and dedication to finish them. Next class I will work on the next projects, and research more on the Wii-mote project.

Today I was working with my Illustrator projects. There were some minor inconveniences with the french fries and daisy projects, but we moved on to the pencil, and later the snowboard. Next class I will continue working on these projects, and finish soon hopefully. These Illustrator projects make you pay attention closely, otherwise you will get lost and have to read back to see what step you missed. Next class I will focuse on finishing.
