First articles in University City Weekly

Graduation was May 7th or something like that, and here I am May 29th freelancing for the Carolina Weekly papers.

I say first articles because they decided to run two separate articles on the subject, an 84-year-old woman was killed when a shoplifter fleeing the police in his car ran into her car. The articles are here.

Feeling Good Enough to Run

The video quality that blogger provides was so unsat that I decided to put the ipod running commercial thing on vimeo. So here it is again. It looks only slightly better.

Feeling Good Enough to Run from Paul Lascara on Vimeo.

Made this for my final film in a video editing class. I forgot to put credit for the song on there. It's "Feeling Good" by Muse. The film, which is a sort of spec commercial for iPod, was reasonably well-received by the class. The universal comment was that the cuts were too fast to see what was going on, unless I told them what was happening. After I told them, the more-or-less 'plot' was readily apparent. This is the first film I've posted on vimeo, though I've been making films for 2 years now.

iPod running spec commercial

After the eventful shenanigans of the past month or so (a skateboard film sans skaters, a hemingway adaptation sans actors, and a hasty, spiteful metanarrative on both of those), I have completed and turned in my final film project for Video Editing II. Here it is, starring Luke Michalski.
