Roar baby ROAR

Yes I know, this is now the second post I have titled after the Katy Perry song, I just can't seem to get away from it! At school, Mr. Petty talks about how it will be played all the time at our upcoming NC State Conference for SkillsUSA, and the NCAA seems to absolutely love it for their music videos, which by the way, I made another today! This time however, it was for volleyball, a bit easier to make exciting than cross country... I knocked that out of the park, and tomorrow I am coming in to do my weekly Tampa Bay Bucs stuff! If anyone noticed that I did not post this past Monday, no I did not forget, I was actually in Charlotte with the Digital Media teachers and our Middle Creek Sports Block seniors! We went behind the scenes at the Charlotte Bobcats arena, went courtside during the dance team's practice--erm I mean the shoot around for the players... It was awesome! I got to talk to a lady who was in the marketing department and learned a lot of interesting things!! I have also always loved basketball, so it was a plus! Not to mention the fact that I learned a ton about how to direct the Sports Block for the basketball games as I was watching the big screen for how the professionals did it! NOTE to all of the upcoming students in the Digital Media department... DO NOT under ANY circumstances sing "Shabooya" on the bus at 11 pm... Petty will kill you... And leave you in Charlotte...

Can YOU see the difference?

Today I got down and dirty with real intern work... Cataloging, organizing, and wiping 40 hard drives to send to other companies! It honestly was pretty fun thanks to the knowledge I gained from my digital media teachers. I got to act like a big shot labeling everything since I know what a Firewire is and can tell the difference between varying types of firewires!

I also got to work on by far my favorite project so far since being there, and that is the "What is the Difference" pictures for the Utah Basketball team. In these pictures I had free reign to create (or destroy) different parts of the picture so that the viewer had to find all 4 in each. This was my favorite simply because it was my first chance to do something with no rules or templates at all, just me and Photoshop. I will post a couple at the bottom of this post so that you too will be able to find the differences!! On a final note, as promised from my Google+ page earlier this week, I am unveiling another piece of my MCHS SportsBlock Fall broadcasting package! Check it out at google.com/+Jasonschmitt! Oh and by the way, one more picture, gotta love the sky that greets me on the way home from work.

Aarrghhhh!

Today I had the day that pretty much every person I know that works wants...  I got in, and due to everyone's emails malfunctioning, there was no work!!  I on the other hand, have a ton of work right now, so I decided to continue working on my Autoshop Academy animation (Follow me at plus.google.com/+jasonschmitt for updates on all my projects!)  I even got another game of ping pong in with Andrew, unfortunately his valiant effort failed him and a late comeback allowed me to win 23-21, still undefeated at the office!!  I have now noticed that I am officially the weekly Tampa Bay Buccaneers guy as well.  I receive all the jumbotron work for their weekly games and have it down pat by now.  SOOO, my day basically consisted of Ping Pong, Tampa Bay Bucs, and NCAA stuff, pretty simple!  Also, I have been thinking of a present I have in mind to give my office on departing...  The ping pong paddles there are pretty rough, duct taped up and everything. I think I will get a nice set of paddles for them upon leaving to thank them for letting me intern there!  If anyone knows of a cheap place to go to buy some great paddles let me know!  This week's gonna be a good one, with the SkillsUSA meeting at MiddleCreek on Wednesday, then returning to the office Thursday. Updates like always will be posted right on this blog so check back for more!!
