So far in class, we have given a short presentation about ourselves, our artworks and ideas, and how we want to act on them in creating video productions.   We have touched on aperture, shutter speed, ISO,  and many other camera topics.  we have watched various films from "The Deer Hunter" to independent films by Maya Derrin.  I'm enthusiastic and optimistic.  I feel that I am going to be very productive in this class (driven by inpiration) and I also think I'm going to continue on with making films for a very long time.
