Magic Doors

I called Don Entertainment and asked my friend Kellz for help. I explained to him my situation and I received an answer. He said "of course"! Well I thought it was pretty obvious that he would say yes anyway, or else I would've shown him what's up... No, I'm joking, he's a really good friend of mine and very talented with the camera, I couldn't have asked anyone better. Unfortunately, he's busy with his own work which is expected, so I just had to do some work on my own for now... Sort of.

I called my cousins and asked if they would volunteer to be my subjects for a small video, just so I can get the understanding of shooting and a bit of editing. They said yes, I went to their house, got the camera set up aaaand then I thought about what to shoot. Maybe planning ahead of time would've been a good idea. Lesson learned. Then I noticed a narrow hallway in his basement with 4 doors and thought of a pretty cool idea that would help me get a better understanding of editing if I wanted my idea to come to life. So I told him what to do and I recorded it. After recording I took the compact flash memory card out of the camera and uploaded it onto a computer. I didn't have any editing program that the pro's use so I guess Windows Movie Maker will do. I made the adjustments and I must say, that I am really proud of the final results for my first time.

Kellz contacts me the following day and tells me that he's ready to make a video with me for next weekend. So I'll be back to report what happens next week and I'll see if I can get a video or a picture up so you guys can see what's being worked on.
