Since the school year is over at North Port High, I thought I'd wrap up what happened with all of the projects we worked on in the classes and where they will go from here.
1. The horror movie "Dr. S": the movie was extremely well received at Kaleidoscope on May 20. The crowd was actually one of the largest we have had since we started the performance series 6 years ago. While we are still having issues with the correct export settings for the Final Cut Pro file and having video hardware issues as well, I can't complain about the final results. A fine job by all, especially student Joey Rieszer (co-writer, co-director, director of photography, editor, sound designer...the guy was a bit busy and took this as his project when others dropped the ball.) When the issues with the aspect ratio and quality of the transfer are worked out, the video will be posted on YouTube.
2. The four-song EP from Sound Engineering never made it to plastic. While all four songs were completed, the class did not meet the deadline to have it mastered or duplicated. There are still some issues with the mixes, so it was decided that the release would be premature. This is a project that may be revisited by next year's SE class. However, the performance of the four songs went over well at Kaleidoscope (even though the first song was prematurely ended by a fire alarm!)
3. The Education Channel 20 in Sarasota (Comcast) will be featuring the horror movie "Dr. S" and projects from my TV II class over the summer. Tune in to see what all the fuss is about.
