Daniel: “Rhapsody” was our director Sarah’s idea. It was shot for the Campus MovieFest competition, and as of now, we won best picture at the school level and we’re going to Atlanta to compete in regionals. I actually got involved because my friend gave me a call one day and asked me if I wanted to shoot the movie poster. Soon, the movie poster turned into shooting the whole movie. I had the grand idea of trying to get my hands on the Canon 5D MKII to try it out. It’s the new spiffy dSLR that can shoot video. So I actually talked to (J Camp photo instructor) Kyndell about it and she got me started on trying to get one of these cameras. So it finally got shipped to me, on loan from Canon, and I had about an hour to figure out how to use it before the first shoot.
The fair video (click here to view) was shot because I was bored, and I went to the fair. I looked like a creeper with my tripod and camera. It didn’t take epically long to shoot or edit.
