Tuesdays with Media: Lights ...

In last weeks' Tuesdays with Media, I wrote about how Ian and I failed in our attempt to make a movie with his kids.  What I left out was that that was our attempt to film a second movie.  Our first attempt was successful:

As can be seen above, Clara was our subject so that we could do a lighting demo, showcasing the homemade lights that Ian and I built.  Clara was chosen because little kids are cute and Ian figured that she'd follow directions fairly well (he was correct).  And for those paying attention at home, Clara is sporting a new hairstyle that I gave her (e.g., I put a part in her hair on the right side and gave her a ponytail).

While it's nice that we were able to get the footage we needed for this video completed, it was an admittedly easier project to work on.  Clara stood in place while Ian ran the camera and I flipped on the lights in sequence.  Even having the microphone turned off didn't get in the way.

I passed around the video at work last week and got some positive feedback.  I must say, it's nice to be recognized that we know what we're doing, even if we're only figuring it out as we go.
