Teaser Trailer for 'Mockingjay: Part 1'

I still haven't finished reading Mockingjay because I have been pretty distracted by all the attractive men running around on my television competing for the World Cup. Regardless, I am super pumped for the next movie in the 'Hunger Games' series. The first trailer was released today, and it is awesome. Check it out below. 

'Did the Music in the Trailer for 'Earth to Echo' Sound Familiar?

If you ask me what my favorite movie score is I think I would just punch you in the face, because that is a lot easier than picking just one answer. However, somewhere on that list is the 2007 movie 'Sunshine.' John Murphy collaborated with the band Underworld to create the score for the science fiction film. The music from that movie has popped up in countless trailers, movies and even television programs throughout the years. A lot of trailers have music in them that has appeared elsewhere, because the final score might not be completed. Below are trailers that use the popular track, 'Sunshine (Adagio in D Minor),' that originally appeared in 'Sunshine.' 'Earth to Echo' hits theaters on July 2nd.

Now That You're Done with Season 2 of 

'Orange is the New Black'... 

My roommate and I just finished streaming the newest season of 'Orange is the New Black' on Netflix. Now that we're done with that, and 'Game of Thrones' is over, we both feel we don't have much to live for. Just kidding. But it did get me thinking about what shows I will be able to tune into pretty soon. Check out my list below.

'The Leftovers'

series premiere: June 29, 2014

HBO has been pushing this dramatic show pretty hard. Take a look at the trailer below:

'Halt and Catch Fire'

So, this show has actually already been on the air for a bit, but it's on this list anyway. I've been meaning to check out this new drama series, but I haven't had the chance to tune in. The first three episodes can be streamed on AMC's website. The next episode airs next month.

'Ray Donovan'

This Sunday will be the season finale of the HBO drama 'Game of Thrones.' Check out some of my favorite GOT-related memes that I found online.

Career Spotlight: Photographer

Los Angeles is filled with very talented photographers who work tirelessly at capturing great moments at engagement photoshoots, concerts, weddings and other special events. For many photographers here, photographing headshots is a big part of their income. If you are an actor, chances are you have had to stand or sit awkwardly in front of a stranger to get your picture taken. Here's an interview with my cousin, Andrew Regan, who is a professional photographer based in Hollywood. 

How long have you been doing professional headshots?
I started in 2010.

Which brand camera do you use?
I shoot on Canon. The Canon Rebel T1i is an affordable SLR camera. I have also used the Canon 7D and the 5D Mark III.

What important thing have you learned about photography?
Lenses are really important. A camera can retail for $1700 and the lens can cost $1400. It's an important investment if you want to make photography your career.

What's your favorite part about what you do?
I love capturing nostalgic moments!

What's one of the hardest parts about taking headshots? 
There isn't as much creativity with photographing headshots as there is in other forms of photography. It's a very specific photo that needs to be done. Also, because I shoot outside, I sometimes have to deal with lighting issues. Clouds or shadows from buildings can affect how a shot comes out.

How do you advertise your services?
Many clients are referrals. I also get a lot of business from my Facebook page.

What is something new that you have been up to with your career?
I am currently selling my artwork on Etsy!

What advice can you give to those who want to go into this line of work?
Understanding lighting and lenses is crucial to being successful as a photographer. I would also suggest that people further their education a bit in this field. I have taken some online classes through Kelby that have been really helpful. Learning Photoshop is also an essential part of working in this industry.
