I just felt like I needed to point something out for those who can't tell (which is probably everyone), that this thing off the side of the pencil rack are candy canes...

Learning Premiere Pro CC

Within Premiere Pro CC, you are able to import various kinds of audio and/or video files and formulate one coherent film after editing and the such. To make the process of editing easier, Premier has a plethora of shortcut keys that would be well worth learning. Just a few examples are:

• spacebar = play/pause the video
• + = zoom into the timeline
• Ctrl when moving a clip and/or audio in = moves it in between the two clips already in the sequence
• the left or right key when in the sequence = skips to the next keyframe in that direction
• and many others that would make up a really long list

Of course you can always edit the shortcuts when you would like to fit your own preferences, but make sure it's something that makes sense so not only you remember it, but if others were using your version of the program, they can work it too.

Overall, Premiere Pro CC is a very interesting program, providing everything you would need to make an amazing film, so long as you learn to master it.

Hypershade Paragraph

From the Intro to Hypershade video by Brendan Gallagher on YouTube, I've learned that, by using Hypershade, one could make the illusion that an object is textured, even if the object is something as simple as a sphere or plane. This helps the systems with the object stress less over the amount of polygons and can formulate the scene much quicker for viewer/player to enjoy. One could change the color, pattern, and texture by applying the proper materials; even controlling where the color, pattern, and/or texture goes onto the object.
Plus texturing adds more value to the video/game if done right.
