Hollywood Buzz Over Drones

Movie making has always been about technology, from the very earliest hand-cranked silent film cameras to the introduction of talkies, Technicolor, Steadicams and today's digital film cameras. The latest development in cinematography is the camera drone. The Los Angeles Times reports.

Questions...

•How creative are you? Come up with a scene for a movie about your life that can be shot with a drone?

•Are drones good or bad for movie and TV camera people? What jobs are gained? What jobs are lost?

•How might drones change how movies or TV shows look?

•Should GCC have a drone operator certificate program? What media-related jobs (movie, TV, and other) could a certified drone operator do?

Figuring Out Your Major or Career Path?

Unclear about what your major should be, or what career you want? Well, that's completely normal for young people. Here's a graphic I saw that may help you think about a career path.


If you would like to get extra credit to figure out what you want to do with your major and/or life, the Glendale College Career Center has a two-hour workshop that can help. Your Humble Blogger will give you four extra credit points for attending one of the Part 1 workshops in October. You will get a certificate to verify your attendance.
