How did you first get into Video??

For me, I’d say it was back in high school when we had the option of a final project for our photography class. You could make a short video involving your family and/or friends and the moment we were given the assignment, my ideas started springing up like flowers! I’d never done something like this before. I really enjoyed watching movies and some TV shows but to check out a class camera and go film stuff??? AWESOME! Needless to say I was really excited and put a lot of time and effort into the project. I ended up making a comedic video involving home-made costumes and my younger brothers. I edited on-camera and even experimented with a little stop-motion animation and some lighting techniques. I was introduced to some of the basics of Video Production and really had a lot of fun! Yes, I scored well on the final grade too. :) I think I still have the VHS somewhere… I need to go dig it up because it would be fun to see my very first video project again. <3

What’s Your story??

A Yahoo Article on the recent Tornadoes. Hours of warning and still lives are lost… I think we’re doing better in the scientific area of prediction but need to work on personal preparation, action and reaction.
