These are two clips that I had to edit in another class

Just finished a little bite of my capstone

We just shoot a little bite of the opening of my capstone this last week, I shoot the hole opening with a steady cam and the F 3 and my Iphone 4S and the footage came out great with both cameras but the F3 is so nice and the shoots where nice.

Making Pies

This video was of my Mom, Wife and daughter making Pumpkin Pies for the family feast. I shot the hole thing with my Iphone 4s and my home made steady cam mount. This quick video was just a test out how well the steady cam was. When all said and done we had made 27 pies and only eat one so far. 

I am going to shot part of my cap stone today with a Sony F3 and also with my Iphone 4s just to see if it could do as well as the F3.

Well we were going to shot some of the Capstone but had to move it to next week

It was a great day for shooting, but CMI sent back the lens that I need to shoot a wide angle shout back too soon. Well we bump it back aweek, man being a one man band and trying to get every thing in order just to shout a five min. scene is like standing on your head and typing a paper blind folded wile singing the Star Spangal Baner in high C.

Have a dead line

A dead line is one of the best ways to make sure you do not put it off tell the last min. But one of the hardest things that I have run into is the amount of stuff that has to be done be for the camera even starts rolling film.

For one, just getting the words down on the script, so that the road map of the film is out and place for one to follow.

Then getting the locations down so that at lease you know where you want to film. My opening scene starts off as my lead actor walks in to the building and down the hall to class that he is late for. Then as he walks in to the class that is in the middle of a lecture he looks around and finds his seat. So now that I have got that done I need to move to the next step.

Which is when I need to do this scene, and for me I want to get it in the can by the end of Nov. and move on to the next location.

And finally find who will play the parts in my film.

Oh how much work there is even before one starts rolling film.

This weekend's road trip

We went on a family road trip to Zion's while trying to get a little down time before the big push on the script. Here is my family and I going to Weeping Rock and then to the East side of the park. Then on over Cedar Mountain to get home. Had a great day with the kids and wife, we had caught the sun in the begging of Golden hour and got some great shots of our trip.

Looking for locations

This last Sunday I took the family out looking for locations that would maybe work for my capstone. We found a few spots that may work. Please forgive me but I took photos of the family at some of them. We went through Zion National park and drove through the tunnel to the east side of the park. We then took the highway up to Duck Creek around the time the sun was setting so here are some shots of the locations.
