So I was surfing Coe's homepage and I came across big news (http://www.coe.edu/news/177/716/Award-winning-documentary-filmmaker-Ken-Burns-2011-Coe-Contemporary-Issues-Forum-speaker.) The legendary Ken Burns is coming to Coe on February 22nd. The reason I'm so excited he's coming to Coe is because when I was in ninth grade, I made a documentary about women's suffrage in the 1900s. I used iMovie (application used by Apple computers) and had to learn how to work it by myself. It wasn't always easy but I pulled through and this documentary started my movie making career so to speak. When I was importing photos into iMovie, they all wanted to have the "Ken Burns" effect. The effect is simply zooming in or out of the photo for a more "dramatic" effect. I would have nothing to do with the "Ken Burns" effect because I liked my pictures to be stationary. But still, even though I refused to use his effects, he is a big name is the film world and I can't believe he's coming to Coe. I've already got January 24th on my calendar and an extra five bucks for the ticket I'll be buying. Film making is sort of of a hobby of mine and I can't wait to hear what Ken Burns has to say.
