First Session Of Pro Tools Class Last Night, Sound For Video Class Interests Me.

It's the time for me to meet a new guy named Pro Tools. Along with Avid Media Composer, these will be the most frequently used software for the upcoming semester. We had our very first class session of Pro Tools last night, the teacher Mark Altin introduced something about Pro Tools, like it's history, the software and hardware. He also talked about the cool things about Pro Tools, and it sounds awesome!

Actually this Pro Tools class is a project intensive class, most of the semester grade is based on four different projects, the first project we are going to do is somewhat similar to the final project of 120 class. Speaking of 120 class, how small the world is! I met many familiar faces last night, most of them took the same 120 class with me last semester. Eri, Jasmin, Amy, just to name a few. In fact, Eri, Jasmin and I were in the same group for the 120 class final project - re-record the dialogue of Citizen Kane with adding sound effects. That was fun!

This afternoon I had my first class session of sound for video. This is really a class that I always want to get in. First, I love to create and produce sound effects for movies and films; second, I love to do some voice-over works for ads, films and movies. I did funny voice-overs for two different projects last semester, one I just mentioned was Citizen Kane, another one was my own creation of a TV commercial for a non-exist product. I used two different voice tones and pitches for those two projects, and many people thought the voice were hilarious!

Again, expect to see someone who I know is in the sound for video class. Actually, I did see not one, but many of them that I know. First, Caleb Wood, he has been my classmate since last year, both of us were taking 140 class that time, then we took the 144 and 148 classes last semester, where I created the funny K. Lab Wood TV commercial and K. Lab Wood PSA there. K. Lab Wood, Caleb Wood, every time when I think of K. Lab Wood I really want to laugh. Lol!

Other people I met today includes Omar, (both he and I are also taking the Avid class) Amy, (she takes the Pro Tools class too) Marek, (he took the 140 class with me last year) and Geo. (he took the 148 class with Caleb and me along with many awesome people but he later left)

So many great people in all those classes, and I think that is a good sign for me, isn't it?
