Four Lives in Four Minutes

This video is a project that was completed for my class Sight and Sound: Documentary, which is in the NYU Undergraduate Film School.

In the class, we were split up into crews of four. Each crew works together for the whole semester. This project required that

I have the video made. It's pretty cool, and it's a collaborative effort between me and three others of my classmates. Unfortunately, I don't have it at the moment, but I'll get it. Please be patient and wait a day or two to get it. Thank you.

My Crazy Schedule!

So I have a nuts schedule this semester. Every day I get up at 6:15 AM, take a bunch of classes and partake in my many hobbies and extra-curricular activities, only to get to bed at 11 PM every night.

I'm taking 6 classes. One of them (Sight and Sound: Documentary) is on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 9AM to 6PM. You read that right. And there are projects besides. One of the classes I'm auditing. It's extremely intense.

I also started a new workout regimen, which is working very well for me. The only way that I've been able to keep myself sane is to schedule and plan every minute of every day. I always know exactly where/when I'm supposed to be. This year my iPhone has come in even more handy than it has previously.


Wish me luck on my crazy schedule!

Oh, and if you want any of the materials relating to my workout regimen (I keep very close track of my progress by way of a complex spreadsheet and graphing, and I made a different workout playlist on my iPod for every day of the week), please contact me at starfilmsentertainment@gmail.com.

The Great Carlyle Fire of 2011!

The day started out hectic enough. I made an apple pie for a massive lunch my room mates and I were planning for Saturday afternoon. We invited roughly 30 people to this lunch. It was truly epic. I did get the apple pie made in the end, but later on in the day, as the kitchen continued to be continually hectic and overly crowded, our fire alarm started going off. We contacted the front desk, but they told us it was not a problem. Go figure. I began making my video for the week, and just as I was saying that I didn't know what else to put into the video, the main fire alarm in the building went off.

As we all filed out of the building, we shared one thought. Was it our fault?

It took forever for the staff to let us back into the room, and with the impending approach of Shabbos, tensions began to rise. We found out that the alarm was actually sounded because a girl in our tower had put her hangers on a sprinkler on the 6th floor. Some rooms in the floors below her were flooded knee deep in water. Luckily, our room was saved and completely dry.

The New Room

As you may or may not know, I have recently moved into my new dorm room located on Union Square West. I'm pretty excited about it. My three room mates and I are all good friends, and we are planning on taking full advantage of the kitchen our room comes equipped with.

Well, although I have described my room and the furnishings I'm living with to everyone in great and eloquent detail, they still badger me for pictures. I figured I could do one better. Please enjoy The New Room.
