Blogging from the Road
Currently in Windham, CT for my 8th shooting weekend. As usual I’m staying with my teachers from high school. It rained most of the day today but I managed to film the RHAM varsity football game. It was actually the first time that I’ve ever seen them play because the field wasn’t ready when I was in high school. I arrived after the second half and they were winning, but they ended up losing near the end. I toted the Aaton around covered in my yellow rain coat and tried to get as many angles as possible. For my last shot, I brought the camera up to the parking lot above the field and captured a nice wide of a play in action. 48 frames per second of course. Tomorrow should provide some classic New England scenes because the weather is going to be nice.
Anyway, I spent 10 hours on Thursday capturing the rest of the VHS home movies into Avid and also got a rough assembly done of the first 4 minutes of the film. I look forward to more marathon editing sessions in the upcoming months. Here are some pics of that past session.
