Weekly Comments #12: A Winner is You!

    This week has been somewhat slow, but definitely not as crazy as last week! Remember that long list of things I had to do in my last Weekly Comments post? I finished all of it, and was able to turn everything in on time! I'm kinda proud of myself. :) The stress was so overwhelming. However, this week I was able to relax a bit, as it's nearing the end of the semester and I already have my exams finished. I still can't believe we're almost in February! This year has gone by so quickly.
    Anywho, yesterday (1/23, isn't that the coolest birthday date ever?!) I finally turned 18! Yes, now I can finally get tattoos done without having to drive to Pennsylvania (since their age requirement for tattoos is 16). The only problem is, I actually have a small cold right now - sore throat, stuffy nose, etc. - that kept me inside most of the weekend, so I couldn't hang out with my friends or anything. Though, my mom and I worked on making our own funfetti cake pops, so that was fun.
    In BOCES this week, we continued working on our documentaries, and I;m so pleased with how ours turned out !! We uploaded it to YouTube and sent the link to Tracy (the founder of Asha Sanctuary) and she asked LCTV if they want to interview us about it, and they agreed. Very exciting - after being a camera person at LCTV for a little bit, watching people go up to be interviewed, now I'm the one going up to be interviewed. (Along with Ryan and Tracy of course.)
    What else? We had a lesson on how to improve the lighting in your film, which is something that I've been wanting to learn about for such a long time! Lighting has always been a problem for me, and I always end up filming something and then going on my editing software and adding a ton of lighting filters to make it brighter. I should probably invest in getting some actual lighting equipment, though.
    That's about it, so, link of interest: The Smash Announcer Voices Crazy Nintendo Lines. Kinda silly. I've always thought it would be interesting to be a voice actor for cartoons and things. I had just recently learned that the Super Smash Bros. 4 announcer (Xander Mobus) is actually much younger than everyone thought he was! Pretty crazy, how certain voices can make you believe someone is younger or older. Here he does a couple of silly phrases and announces random characters names as if they've just won a match. 

    Anyways! I gotta go start filming my PSA. :0 Grab the camera, let's go!!
