Filmmaking: A Cardiovascular Exercise

Documented Joshua B from Bingspot last night for four hours. He was running around town taking pictures and hosting events and when I say running around town I mean actual running.
Because I only had access to my wireless Lav. I decided to just unplug my Beachtek audio-adapter when I wanted crowd/natural sounds. By unplugging the adapter, the camera's internal mic would kick in. -food for thought for filmmakers who can only afford a lav.

Mic-ro-phone

I am returning my new microphone. The AudioTechnica AT875R runs on phantom power and my beachtek audio adapter doesn't transmit phantom power so no I have to figure out what to do for a mic tomorrow t the First Friday shoot. I guess I'll mic up Joshua B with my wireless lav and when he's not talking I'll unplug the beachtek and use the built-in mic.

soon enough I'll have all the right gear and I'll know how to use it correctly and I'll have everyone signed on. then I can just focus on the creativity part for a while.

Quickie

I had a meeting with Sean from VINES and he agreed (as long as Lauren also agrees) to let me document them for the next six months. From what he said it's a lot of really visually appealing stuff like prepping land and marketing their crops etc.

BAM! Shortest post thus far. You're Welcome.

Self-analyzed

I made a discovery yesterday at my meeing with the guys from Bingspot (which went great). I was talking about how I came to Ny from Columbia Missouri, a town a lot like Bing but revived. then I said "Oh, another revitalized town I've lived in is Pittsburgh Pennsylvania." then I went "WOAH" I have discovered the hidden reason I want to make this documentary. How crazy is it that I'm this far into the process and have just now discovered why. Bing has potential, I can see it. I've seen it before and i loved my other two towns and I love Binghamton but it hurts me to see how much this city hurts and I want to show every town with potential that IT CAN HAPPEN! I almost said "it gets better" but that slogan has been taken.

Anyway my polarized filter arrived today, woohoo!

Short post. Have a Great Day.
