Piggybacking on AC’s post, I just wanted to take a minute to give a little bit more insight into what ‘Last Minute Trips’ is. The production company branded “Waffsicle” is owned by two filmmakers from L.A., Julien Solomita and Collin Duddy. Julien (who I’ll post about next time!) is a vlogger on his own channel, JSolo. Julien’s editing style and cinematography really brings together both his own vlogs and the Last Minute Trips series. As AC said, they literally throw a dart at a map. This past week, they took their last LMT of the year, the seventh installment of the series. This trip brought them to Bruneau, Idaho. What’s in Idaho? Potatoes? Yeah, probably. But this little town has sand dunes. Who would’ve thought? Sand dunes in the middle of Idaho? It’s certainly not something you think when you hear Idaho. I’d also like to add a little personal anecdote to this post — I had the opportunity to meet Julien and Collin! They took a ‘Not So Last Minute Trip’ down to Cottontown, Tennessee because Julien really wanted to go shoot the total solar eclipse back in August. My mom and I also went to a nearby town called White House to shoot and view the eclipse. So naturally, I was able to find them down there in the middle of nowhere. They’re really sweet and genuine people, and I’ll link both the eclipse video and the most recent LMT video below. Take some time to check them out, I think this series is one of the most unique things I’ve ever seen. :)
This is definitely unique, but I totally dig it. Julien is one of my favorite youtubers! He's only seconded to Jenna ;) I've watched almost all of these videos, and I'm so excited someone else found them to be inspiring!
This is my last blog post for my senior year, so I'd like to say that I am so glad I took DMA classes throughout high school. I've learned so much and I wouldn't be where I am today without my experiences in the classes. I will be attending the Savannah College of Art and Design this coming fall and I couldn't be more excited. I'm thinking about majoring and working in the film industry, however, I will be pursuing all and any forms of art in the future as well. From a fellow artist: take the opportunities that you are given and work hard doing what you love.

FOR THE UNINFORMED: Mrs. Shields may kill me for how long this post to the blog is, but she can deal with it :P Alright... I just want to state that I love Apple to death and get that out of the way but I AM GOING TO RANT for a little. Apple introduced the new "iPad Air" to the world today, among other things. The starting price for a 16GB silver OR black iPad Air is $499, and if you want 8x the storage with the 128GB version, it'll set you back $799. To put that into perspective, if you were to buy a 2.3GHz Mac Mini that has a quad core Intel Core i7 (the fastest processor Intel makes, starting at the i3, i5, and then the i7), 4GB of DDR3 ram, and a 1TB hard drive, it'll set you back $799. So you can buy a pretty very good Mac computer (I have one at home but better haha) or a new iPad. Anyways.... The iPad Air weights only A pound (yes one pound), is only 7.5 millimeters thick (Apple advertises that by saying 7.5 millimeters THIN), has a 9.7...
Well since I'm a senior, then this is probably going to be my last blog post. Next year, I am going to do the Digital Design program at the Warren County Career Center for college credit, so I'm still going to do some DMA stuff after graduation. It's been very cool to be making cool stuff here and I'll miss you guys and I know your going to miss me and my dog Max.
This is cool

ReplyDeleteI honestly would love to do this one day. Traveling the world is the best way to experience new things. These youtubers do it in such a unique way.
