I had an idea the other day and since then I have been thinking it through. The idea was to create a one stop shop for film students and those that aspire to be film makers. It would feature how-tos on a budget, videos, reviews, links to resources, and information on making films. I am still in the planning stages. My current problem is to come up with a domain name. I really wanted filmstudent.com, but that is unavailable. So, I search for a good domain name. If you guys have any suggestions please leave them in the comments below. I am looking for something that is short, memorable, and most of all on topic.
Thanks for your input. I can’t wait to take this new project live.

Here is a newly posted picture of me… What do you guys think?[singlepic id=16 w=320 h=240 float=right] Incase your wondering that is a Red One from Red. It was a lot heavier than I thought it would be. I’m looking forward to using it next semester when I take Film 2.

Hey guys. Well, it’s been a while since my last post, and have I been busy. I’ve been to Disneyland, seen Cat Cora, reformated my hard drive(s), filmed 2 shorts (maybe 3), and started a new job.
Yeah, I’ve been a little busy. I know work at The Home Depot as a lot attendant. Which means that I pick up trash, grab carts, and help customers load/unload their cars. It’s not glamorius, but I am getting a steady paycheck and have gotten some quality tanning done, not to mention the muscles I’ve been making hand loading 94 pount bags of concrete. All in all it’s an experience and a paycheck.
I’ve been to Disneyland a few times, had some really fun times with some friends and their family. Got my picture taken with Cat Cora of Iron Chef America. That was awesome, didn’t get a book signed, but I got my picture taken and that is something I will enjoy looking at from time to time.
Also finishing up my second semester as a film student at Saddleback College. Got one last project to edit. So it is still a work in progress. But we shall see what the future holds.
The final big change is my computer, I’ve done a lot of work on it. Installed a new hard drive, reinstalled the operating system and done some much needed maintenance. Needless to say It’s been an adventure that I would not like to repeat in the near future, lol.
All in all it’s going to be an interesting summer. Here’s to hoping for the best.

As some of you know I have a tattoo. Yep, that’s right Jon Lillie has a tattoo!!!! It is a custom design, a celtic cross with tribal flames coming out the sides. It sits on my left arm, about half way up between the elbow and shoulder.
So by now you must be realizing what it is that I really want… I want another tattoo!!! I’m thinking of a half sleave or my entire shoulder on my right side. But the issue comes up as to what to get. I’m thinking of a tribute to my grandfather who died in June, a war veteran, and a man whom I will never forget. So far I have an idea of a flag at half mast, with his name and the date of his birth/death. But beyond that I am a little lost as that will not take up very much space I think. I want one that is reverent, and meaningful to me.
Some of you may be thinking, “where did this come from?” It isn’t a new thought or want, I have wanted a second one since the day I got my first one. They are that addicting. But the cost, lack of know exactly what I want, and the lack of know a quality artist I can trust to be healthy and safe when it comes to putting something permanently on my body. Yes, getting a tattoo can be dangerous… infection, disease, and the like is possible. That is why it is good know who your artist is and that they can be trusted to do what you have asked of them.
If you guys have any ideas please feel free to post them… and “do not get one” is not acceptable, sorry.

As some of you know I work as a Front of House audio engineer at a church in southern orange county.
Tonight’s service just seemed to click with the worship. It was loud, yet clear. It was quality. I love it when things just seem to work… the board worked, the mics worked, and the musicians worked.
