LEVEL 3: Post 3 (Week 5) Your favorite piece of technology

The playstation

For me, the Playstation is my favorite piece of technology. It is all about watching plenty of movies, and that, because of Netflix and Youtube apps on the console. You can play videogames but I don't use to play a lot, I prefer Films or choosing between great videoclips and concerts by Pink Floyd, Muse or Massive attack. 

When I arrive to my house, I turn it on almost immediately as it would be a kind of a radio station. So I use it always, the same way for my mp3. Some mouths ago I broke my mp3 while I was walking on the streets, that was sad. Furtunately the Playstation stays at home, so it's safer.

My life without a PS would be like a pretty boring life. The music and films are essentials for me, and watching audiovisual content everyday improves my charm about cinema. 

 Long live for PS streaming!

LEVEL 3: Post 2 (week 4) Why did you choose this career/study programme?

 

Why Film and Television?

When I was a kid always dreamed to be an aeronautic engineer because all about the sky and universe issues really blown my mind.

Some years later my imagination tooks me into new roads. I had the expectative to study something related to videogames like 3D design or VFX at some college but I considered my PSU points more important so finally I applied to Film and TV at Universidad de Chile because of its great academic tradition.

It had been a hard road along this career that includes an accident where I broke my meniscus playing soccer a couple years ago. Anyways, I met good classmates and their creativity had helped me to see new visions about the Art of film-making.

Today I really like "DOP" that means "Direction of Photography", so I had been working on that deparment as a cinematographer when we shot projects.

LEVEL 3: Post 1 (Week3) My auto biography: who am i?

From the north 

Hello, I'm David Morales. I was born in Chuquicamata, north of chile. Since I was a kid I had a lot of interesting about story-telling and videogames. Maybe the Atacama desert and its wonderful views helps me to imagine science-fiction stories or free my mind from the traditional miner thinking, so tipical in the north because of the copper mines everywhere. During all my childhood, I got my first and middle education in Calama, the nearest city from Chuquicamata. Pass all those years, Arts and film making was a real possibility when I applied to ICEI at Santiago of Chile for Film and Television program at Universidad de Chile. Now I'm in my last semester trying to accomplish my final proyect and get the bachelor's degree.
