I walked over to Granville Island today to try to get some recordings on the H2s we were given. Our only assignment over break is to record anything and everything hoping to get some usable sounds for editing. It can be any type of Foley sounds like footsteps or chewing, to sound effects like a car going by or a water splash. I had recorded some awesome sounds of my friend's hockey game but later realized I recorded it at the wrong sample rate so I can't use it.... oh well, lesson learned--always check your gear before recording!
There's a Jazz Festival going on right now and I got some cool recordings of a guitar player just jammin' away at one of the docks and I had a perfect recording of a jazz piece, up until one of the festival officials said I couldn't record it. He made sure it was erased off my H2... maybe I'll go back tomorrow and hide somewhere so I won't be so obvious.
Hopefully the weather holds out this week. I can deal with the weather here, it's still in the 60s-70s, not like back home where I hear it's in the 90s...hahaha!
I just realized that I think this will be the first 4th of July that I won't be in the US. Up here they have Canada Day which is going to be celebrated on July 1st. I'll have to try to find a good spot to catch some fireworks up here. I also looked into obtaining Canadian citizenship. Don't worry, I'm not moving up here yet. I have to have a job offer to expedite the process but since I can't work while I'm in school, I can't even apply anywhere yet. Let me just get through the school year first and see where it takes me. I'm still waiting for the rest of my (ahem), "grades" to be posted, but so far so good. There's always room for improvement right?
Hopefully Term 2 won't be as stressful as Term 1... who am I kidding? Bring it on!!!
