POP Project - Not Good

We checked out our footage today and it's pretty un-useable. Way too shaky to even attempt to speed it up :/ And our ending footage is so dark we can't even see anything.

So, we've decided to re-think our POV plan, and go simpler with basic shots using a tripod!

Therefore we've had to re-schedule a trip to Edale, where hopefully we'll get the PD170 camera we've been using in our workshops and have a better idea of how to operate than the XM2's we used before. Also the weather should be better ^_^

POP Project - Day Of Shoot

Not feeling too confident about our shoot. We had some camera problems, so ended up losing nearly 2 hours, thankfully we didn't have that much footage at that point. We were mostly checking out the locations, since that was our first time in Edale. The weather wasn't great, but didn't pour down so can't really complain, but the main issue was our appaling camera work with the POV shots. Really don't have a steady hand. Hopefully it won't be too bad, especially when we speed it up in editing.

Here are some pictures Stella took during the day. Pretty much the trail we took for our shoot. Even met some locals who'd been stalking us ^_^

POP Project - Documents

Hopefully all of the documents we are supposed to have are included as links in the post of our Parashoot form. These include:
  • Shot List
  • Contact List
  • Equipment List
  • Schedule
Since it was me who was acting (badly?!), and it was a very brief role, due to most being POV (thank god!), we thought there wouldn't be any point to fill in a release form.
