Crew Evaluation

While every bone in my body tells me to make my evaluation succinct the class requirements say that my evaluation must be elaborate. SO I WILL RAVE ABOUT THEM

Brittany: She keeps this project anchored, she gets me to communicate and makes sure the group meets our goal dates. She remains practical and makes sure that I don't fly off my creative handle. I couldn't have asked for a better collaborator. While her work schedule is busy she makes time and always lends a helping hand.

Taylor: Taylor has been with me since day one on this project. While he started out not knowing too much about cameras he has came a long way. He may be still fidgety with the camera but he is learning and flexible. His affable attitude and easygoing demeanor helps things flow on set and keeps things calm. His attitude is amazing and it makes him a great collaborator.

Cody: Cody is quiet yet consistent. He will always get his work done with as little fuss as possible. He never allows "bs" to get in the way and keeps things as real as he can. I can count on him to record solid sound and to keep himself on track. Every once and a while he will get frustrated, but always with good reason.

As for me I've had to learn how to be a more communicative collaborator. Taylor and Brittany have been helping me with contacts and the process has become a lot easier. I am proud of my crew, and look forward to continue to work with you.

Sharing my Home

This weekend my crew and I went to my home in Belmont North Carolina. We filmed interviews with journalists and shot some B-Roll on the Catawba river. My love affair with the A7SII has grown, I love the colors that I can get on that beautiful little contraption. My crew was delightful. Brittany quietly kept everything in order and made sure that we were on time for things, Taylor managed the camera and began to experiment with the Monopod, and Cody got very clear audio. My parents enjoyed the company and are looking forward to having us again. Next time I plan on working of scheduling a bit more, I want to get a greater variety of B-Roll so I need to account for travel time and everything with that. All in all, it was a successful trip!
