good things come together.. (let me brag please! >.<)

Okay.. so today.. after the last lecture of the day, Drama Production,
my editing lecturer from last semester came up to me and said these 3 words that made my eyes shine like the sun...

"Hey, the ACE thing came already..."
he took out a brown cushioned envelope... and i had to struggle to keep back from yelling and cheering in the lecture theatre...

and then i Chiamo came over and gave me my $500 paycheck, which has been longover due, lol... so now i'm $500 richer ^^...

and and and.. k more about the ACE thing..
it's actually the "American Cinema Editors" it's the Editor union in America that covers the rights of editors there... they hold a student competition once every year, and if i remembered right, only 50 people around the globe get to participate.
(awesomeee!!!! :D :D :D)
They send footage, and a script and all the other paperwork regarding 1 scene from something that was shot, and the participant just edits it in whatever way he sees fit.
Final edit's must reach back in sunny California by January the 18th where it will be judged, and the Top 3 editors (and 1 guest), will be invited to California for the ACE Eddie Awards on 17th February, and hopefully get a chance to meet the likes of Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino and someone who's work i've recently been interested in Robert Zemeckis who did stuff like Cast Away, The Polar Express, Monster House, ^^...

The top editor will win a Student Award also gets his name published in some sort of Hollywood trade newspaper, which is like a toe into the big film world ^^...

yes.. now that i've explained it all..............
