"Payback" shooting
Last weekend was the first weekend of shooting for my school film for this semester called "Payback". I am the DP, so I'm having a great time utilizing all of the knowledge I picked up this summer on the set in NYC. I'm really trying to get a great image, and so far I have been happy with many of my shots.
We're planning on one more weekend soon to finish up principle photography, then we'll have a month in post to have it ready for the student film festival on December 9th.
Keep posted for more updates and a link to the final picture (after the premier). For now enjoy this picture from the set!

Successful Summer 2010
This summer I went to New York City and worked as an intern at DuArt Film & Video in Midtown Manhattan. As an intern I had the amazing opportunity to not only experience how a major post-production house operates, but I was able to get into it and get my hands dirty with real editing and work with the sound department. I was given the task of creating one minute marketing reels that showed off as much of the wonderful work that has happened at DuArt in recent years as possible. This involved many hours editing with Final Cut Pro, as well as ingesting footage from (most often) digi-beta decks.
In addition to editing reels, at DuArt I worked with producers finding time-code cues to be used in dubbing recording sessions. I was also able to sit in and question directors, actors, producers and mixers as they did cartoon dubbing work.
Outside of this internship I had the amazing opportunity to work as a grip/PA on the set of a pilot episode of a new series called Sleepwalkers. This was a multi-day shoot utilizing the RED camera and was a fully professional operation. I learned and honed so many on-set skills, I can not wait to use them again on more professional sets.
As for the future, I was asked to work with College Humor next summer as an intern on set. I also hope to work on more TV shows and hopefully feature films in NYC.
For now back to school to learn even more!

My Background
I was born on April 28th, 1990 in Columbus, Ohio. I grew up in Upper Arlington, Ohio a suburb of Columbus. I started doing technical theatre in 6th grade at Jones Middle School when I was 11 years old.. I have been working in theatre since then. My High School (Upper Arlington High School) had a very developed theatre program, which focused around a large scale musical every year. I worked on this production for three of my four years in High School and in my senior year I was selected to be the Stage Manager/ Student Technical Director for the schools production of Jekyll and Hyde. This production won USA Today's Top 5 High School Musicals of the Year Nationwide.
After I graduated from UAHS in 2008, I traveled to Gunnison Colorado on the western slope of Colorado where I began attending Western State College of Colorado or WSC. At the end of my freshman year I applied and was selected as an RA, or Resident Advisor for the 2009-2010 school year. This position involved large amounts of responsibility, time management, people management and work ethic.
At the end of the 2009-2010 school year I had been selected as an intern at DuArt in New York City. DuArt is a post-production house that works with film, video and sound. That is where I will be working for the 2010 summer.

My Experience (briefly)
Hello,
My name is Glenn DiNicola. I am a student in Lighting Design and Cinematography. I currently attend Western State College of Colorado in Gunnison, Colorado. I am the head lighting designer at my school. I have designed four full scale shows in my two years at college.
My major is titled "Communication and Theatre" but my emphasis is in Film and Video Production. I have edited a few videos using Final Cut Pro. The most significant of these is called Waiting. I did most of the camera work, and all of the editing for Waiting along with working with the writer to make sure that my vision matched with hers. You can view my personal YouTube page here and watch many of my videos.
Or, you can watch Waiting here
I hope to work with you in the future!
Happy creating!
