today was primarily a "play" day. I met Ethney at her home at 9AM we started looking through the steady cam footage from yesterday. it looked pretty good in some parts. (also pretty bad in others what can I say it was my first time with a steady cam) We pulled into final cut pro some of our favorite steady cam shots and all the shots we had of kids talking about what their hardest exam will be and where their favorite place to study is. After reviewing all of this we decided we did not have enough kids talking. Down to campus we go!

We arrived at campus as assembly started and i manged to make my self pretty well noticed in there as i walked back and forth on stage in the middle of Swaze making an announcement that I'm sure was important. I got some decent footage of the student leaders announcing the new student council. also i got kind words of wisdom about thanking people who have helped you this year. after assembly I dragged kids in front of the camera to have them answer questions. when class started I began completely disrupting classes and invading space. I worked specificly on pulling focus from one object to my subject and back again. also i worked on the pulling of focus as i zoomed and panned to a subject closer than the original.

after ruining a few classes (apparently you can not slip in and out of a classroom full of your friends with a giant camera without disrupting it a little) we headed back to Ethney's imported the footage talked about some up-coming technology that will revolutionize the film and video industry and of course looked at the footage I got today.
