AUTHORITY!!!

Since my passion is sort of about cinematography and videomaking, today I will talk some about filming. Filming is great. or me, it’s the one part of the video process where I can be wild and silly. Today I went to the geography fair (which I must say was great) and DJ, Richard, and I had a great time filming. We had been asked to collect footage for the podcast coming out the tomorrow, and we went loco. We were running all over with the camera, stalking Mr. Jobe, “tagging” peoples’ booths, and doing all sorts of fun stuff. We were really having a lot of fun. Each of us at one time was doubled over, his sides splitting from laughing at another’s silly behavior. We realized that we did need to get some real footage or Mr. Katz was going to kill us, so we made somewhat of an effort to go around the fair, interviewing guests about how they felt and getting some shots of the actual booths. I encourage you all to check out the CDS podcast. It is certainly a great time. Anyways, with filming, it’s like you’re just free, free to record whatever piece of time you would like, free to do funny stuff and… I don’t know. Whenever you get a videocamera, you have to film. It’s a compulsion, a longing coming from that piece of electronic genius, a longing to film! Seriously, haven’t you guys ever felt that? Haven’t you ever just wanted to film as much as you can and more? It’s just like something natural, to want to get in somebody’s face and ask them stuff, or to run around recording some stilly stunt. Anyways, more about what we did at the fair. Well, like I said, we “tagged” the booths. That consisted of grabbing the little miniature flags from certain booths and sticking into another country’s booth’s fruits, goods, and just whatever. It was great watching the people’s reactions. Some took them out silently. Others picked them out and threw them at us. The most crazy was the one who said they were actually going to tell Mrs. Porter. I mean we were just joking. Well, that was fun, but we did other stuff too. We went into others’ booths and “helped them out” or even pretended to be them! In conclusion, filming is a lot of fun.
