Week One
Well this week despite being the first week of classes after taking a year and a half off, was fairly uneventful. The old adage that if you don’t use it you will lose it is true. In the Math class for one it is so far covering a lot of the things from Grade 11 which for me was 5 years ago. Last time around all those years ago Ms. Chapman would explain thing very thoroughly so that even the uninterested would learn. Now I have a professor that despite English not being his first language and be slightly difficult communicate his thoughts, is definitely passionate about the course material, and it is early to tell but I think this passion is for all math in general. I also finally finished all the graphics for the new upcoming season of Too Close to Call. This season is going to be slightly different from last season, but it is sure to be more interesting. The season premier airs live next Sunday (Sept 19th) at 7-8pm on Rogers Television throughout New Brunswick. I have also been working over the past week, but there really is nothing new to say.
Santa Claus Parade – 2003
In November 2003 I had created the following graphics for the Saint John Santa Claus Parade. Due to their success, they were also used with an adapted logo for the Fredericton version of the Parade. Unfortunately, the Fredericton version of the logo has been lost. It looked just like the Saint John version. The two reindeer were named Fred and Larry, There was a 3rd one Phil but the third one was never used on-air.
Where have I been?
I have left all my blogger fans in the dark for 26 days now and it is now time to update you on what has gone on. 1st- After months of complaining on October 21st I received the call that I had been offered a job at Client Logic, and for the past 3.5 weeks I have worked there and loving it. 2nd- I’ve been working on the Intro for the Saint John Santa Claus Parade, which turned out to be an immense success. I am working on adding a section to my site to show off some of my Photo Shop stuff. It will be flash intensive and will be launched in early 2004. Other plans for this site is to bring back the calendar, and finally get a domain name. 3rd-I’ve been sick all the first half of November. 4th- I’m sorry I have not added anything to my novel, I will add some more this year. I’ll blog again soon
Wow, what a week!!!
Not much is different from the past several weeks except, I have received 2 calls in the past two days, from places I dropped off resumes at, none of which were from my top 5 list but at least I received a call. Next up is I have looked into getting my driver’s license, I was impressed with the very good information I got from Young Drivers I think I will go with them as soon as I can conjure up $549. Onto the third topic, I’m excited about the new TV season, after about three years there is good TV. So after seeing the shows here is my TV Top Ten List: 10. Too Close to Call (Rogers Television) I just had to add one that I help make. And Dave Deline is very Interesting. 9. Trading Spaces (TLC) It kinda makes you want to get off the couch and do some decorating… Kind of 8. Malcom on the Middle (Global) This is a truly funny show. 7. Trailer Park Boys (Showcase) I just love stupid Canadian Shows. 6. 8 Simple Rules for Dating my Teenage Daughter (ABC) This is just a classic great show. 5. Everybody Loves Raymond…
What’s up!!!
While this week has been remarkably interesting. I’ve left Saint John twice this past week. On Tuesday, I went to Fredericton and on Wednesday I went to Moncton, both days to help shoot promos for the upcoming season on Rogers Television. I’ve also had two rolls of film developed recently, some of the pictures have turned out well. I’ve also got a set of digital pictures as well. I’ll be formatting them and posting them as 3 new photo albums on my website. I’m going to use html format and not the flash because I found a program that makes them automatically and is a lot easier. I’ve also was doing TV Bingo this past week; it is great to have it back. Especially since Jeff and Tony are the best. This week I’m going to continue some job hunting on Monday and Tuesday. And on Monday at 11:15 I have an appointment to have photos taken at the Sears Portrait Studio. TTFN
RTV Money Trends
During the summer before the 2004-2005 season, there was a proposal for a Financial Show on Rogers Television from Saint John. The working title was “Money Trends” although the show never was made past a pilot episode here are the graphics I was in the progress of designing for this show. The images above may not be reproduced on any site other than cefm.ca.
Making a TV Show
Note: This article was originally written for Journalism 2023 Journalistic Writing in November 2002. The 50th Annual Saint John Santa Claus Parade comes around for another year. This was a difficult production for producer Don Ferguson to organize volunteers. In addition, the float list was only available late on Friday afternoon. Three hours before the parade was to begin, we headed down the hill to set up the equipment. On arrival, we realized the taped introduction had the old TVNB logo and Parade 2001 on it. It was determined that we could just cover it up with graphics, but at about the time the parade was about to start to come down the hill the tape got jammed in the machine and I had about 2 minutes to come up with an alternative. Then the parade went really well until the floats stopped coming down the hill in order of the list and then it was a scramble of; What float is it, type it in, bring it up and take it down and repeat for about forty or so floats. After a hard day of work, after the family dinner, many families sit down to feed their brains with…
Critique on Article (Ernie Coombs)
Subject: Critique on Article The article I have chosen to comment on is about the life of the late Ernie Coombs. Although it is not specified who the author of the article is, it is a Canadian Press story which I found on canoe.ca. This article explains the what of how Ernie Coombs a children’s television legend was an influence on at least two generations of Canadians as the legendary Mr. Dressup. The where, when, and why is because Mr. Coombs kicked the bucket on Thursday at the Toronto Western Hospital after taking a stroke on 11 September. The reason we care is that the man was well-loved by all and things like this bring people together. This story is only one-sided since usually on a legend dies under respect for the family only the good side and positive accomplishments are written about. Much of the research was done by interviewing people who were there first hand.
