AA3 Major Project - Nosferatu
I have attached my video via a youtube link to watch. I needed to compress the movie obviously so it could go online. I think the visuals and sound are okay after compression but there is some loss.

Week 12 Forum - Final Form....ever
I didn't come to this forum because I had to finish a presentation for another subject. But, I know what it was about and it was the typical form. Babbling and blather and blah blah blah blah blah....etc
From speaking to other students I know some of the forum touched on what students thought of the degree. If this degree taught me anything it is this:
If you want to study something that will give you the piece of paper that people will think highly of but will be completely useless in the actual work force, go to university.
If you want to study something that will give you the piece of paper that people don't regard highly but will actually teach you useful skills relevant to the work force, go to any vocational training institution.
Unless you want to be a doctor, engineer, lawer or businessman, university is pretty much useless. It just tries to make you an intellect.

Week 11 Forum - Electroacoustic Music
Today we watched some movies that had some music written by some famous composers. I was particularly interested when Stephen mentioned that John Chowning made millions off something. I should've paid more attention to what he was saying. My ears pricked up when I heard "musician" and "millionaire". You don't hear those two words in one sentence music here at all.
