Work Hard & Play Hard. That is the plan.

summer: Graduation trip. Road Trip. Chicago, NYC, LA and home sweet home New Mexico. Mainly seeing friends that haven’t met for 4~5 years, doing blacksmithing, and forget about all the work in Scoville. Disconnect and reconnect. Rest, relax and enjoy.

fall: reform the equipment checkout system in the Media Lab. also helped Paul complete complete as many projects as possible.

main study: this definitely has the HIGHEST priority. will take more CAMS classes. Intro, film theory, documentaries, seriously anything. I just need to theorize myself, my knowledge, my passion, before i make my own film.

side study: prepare level 1 JLPT. aiming at level 1, should at least pass level 2. also should practice better mandarin.

future plan: apply to film school/grad school. need helps from Michael, Carol, John, and Paul. also apply to Cathy Pacific.

I am not going to spend much time on any easy project. there are much more to study.

Last but not least, hopefully if all things go well, I will be able to make a film about the NGO-Osmosis in Brazil. Finger crossed.

I am proudly announce (finally) that Wain Yee is

the Educational Associate of Cinema and Media Studies

for the next academic year 2007 - 2008.

i understand the whole world is expecting me to take that position even before i apply. but it is still exciting to finally receive that confirmation from my boss, whom I have work for for the past 4 years. So yea~! very soon I won’t be a Carleton student but a staff! and Carleton is going to continue paying me to go to school + giving me millions of production equipment + giving me a studio! YEAH~~
(^o^)v This is simply my dream job.

There will be a lot lot more. I promised. Just haven’t have the time to put them up yet. I will also later develop it as a youtube channel. stay tunned.

I love filming.
My friend Sean loves editing.

I enjoy the creation of the footage.
He enjoys the manipulation of the footage.

I enjoy the freedom the camera grants me, capturing the most interesting thing to me on site.
Sean likes the limitation, selecting the best footage within the tape, and condensed to an exciting form.

I like filming because it only takes definite time to film.
Sean enjoys putting unlimited effort to perfect his editing.

Conclusion? We are a good team.

ps. Kelly commented I dress like Hirai Ken today. That makes me happy.

I proudly announce that we just formed my video production company today! 2 graduating Carleton College senior Chris Courneen and Wain Yee finally decided to devote ourselves of this meida world… With our hard work and talent, we will be the cameraman, editor and producers of any sort of productions. We work efficiently with MultiCam, Final Cut Pro, Photoshop, DVDStudioPro, Motion, LiveType, SoundTrack, and WebDesign. We are working on our logo and website http://MaskManProductions.com…
(Alright enough for the advertising… hehe… I m too excited… more will be coming next)

The first challenge we have is that we have a big postproduction that has to be finished in 2 weeks. Time is tight, and stress is high. I am learning how to maintain a balance between more efforts or less perfections, to best estimate how much time I should put into certain part. The technical challenges are easy (which I will write later).

The difficulty is not letting my passion drown myself.
Keeping myself on track.
