Only the missing part is left

Tomorrow Friday, it’s the day when I get another diploma. The piece of the missing part is left. This time it’s filmmaking at Helsinki Design School. What else can I do when I have a lot of time on my hands? No more early mornings. I had to get up at 4.30 am to catch the train or bus to Helsinki, but only twice a month. The school has been exciting and fun. I never thought working in a group would be nice. Today we had about making music videos, and we also made one. My group did our own video in total, and the groups only did a little. The outcome of the group projects was great results.

A few photos of my group.

The education has been a great experience. I won’t keep in touch with my classmates, though. But it was nice to meet friendly people like them. They are talented too. This was my 3rd time at Helsinki Design School, and it’s been excellent every time. I won’t experience the same kind of things I have and won’t have the get to the same place anywhere else. I think this is the last time I will go to this school. I’ve already taken all the courses they provide. It’s time to do something else.

Professions to be desired

What profession do you admire most and why?

Daily writing prompt

Many professions are essential because if no one doesn’t clean or take care of the elderly, for example, nothing would be done. I admire a lot of professions, people who save lives and even garbage people. They do a job I could never do. I get anxious when I see people in pain, and I don’t like touching people. I’m not made to do a profession like that. I admire people who do those jobs, though.

A profession I admire the most is actors and actresses. Acting is a tough job. They can play roles where they need to do things I could never do, like doing love scenes and such. They also need to be brave, and I admire people that are. It doesn’t need to be in a profession. Actors and actresses can play different kinds of people. They can play other characters and try different jobs without going to school to become them. Becoming an actor is also quite tricky. They don’t give up; even if they struggle, they won’t give up their dream. They might need a talisman if they want to be successful. It’s a competitive business, and not everyone will become big stars. Actors and actresses aren’t fairly treated in recent years, with being paid relatively and getting compensation from streaming services. They’re also afraid of getting replaced by Artificial intelligence. That’s why the strike is going on at the moment. In my opinion, actors and actresses won’t be replaced by AI because acting still needs to be done by real people. Watching movies and TV series wouldn’t be the same as now. Humans should never be replaced by robots in any profession.

This forest is quiet

Forest in Eurajoki, Finland, 2016

I hadn’t realised I hadn’t written this blog in July at all. I have been busy. This forest has been quiet lately. The blog forest that is. My dad decided to quit his business altogether, and I helped him to tidy up the business premises. It’s been a lot of work and dirty. He was a goldsmith. He had the business for over 30 years, so there was a lot of stuff. We have someone to help to clean up the place.

This post is a reminder that I still blog. It has only been quiet lately. The month has gone so fast. This month, weather-wise, hasn’t been too hot over here. I’m glad I don’t live where the forest fires are right now. It’s just terrible over there. It is better to be outside than inside here, so I sit on the balcony or go out in the park. I have a puncture on both bikes, so I haven’t been able to go on bike trips. I haven’t had the time to go and fix them yet. I hope I have the time next week. I have quite missed the cycling thing. It’s good exercise, and you see the scenery much better than from a car.

The filmmaking course is over soon. We have two more meetings in Helsinki in August, and I have another diploma in my hand. It might not mean much, but I’ve studied something I’m interested in, and that is what counts. I wouldn’t get to be taught by professional moviemakers anywhere else. I also got to experience how things work in a TV and movie studio. Or how actors do things in a scene. I already knew about some things, but a repeat is not bad. I also got to meet new people and got to work in a team. Filmmaking is a lot about that. We had a lot of fun too.

This forest of this blog post is quiet again. Thank you for stopping by.
