This is a blog about John, his dog Toby and his furry duck Ducky. Ok seriously, just another RMIT Television blog. Nothing to see here. Moving on now.

Camera work in CAE

Alex and I both agreed that the night before the shoot on Thursday 6 September was a rather disturbing affair, as we were extremely concerned that things wouldn't turn out well. We were worried about the amount of equipment and setting up that we had to hook up. Generally, we gave ourselves no reason to be upbeat about the assignment as we dwelled to much on the negatives.

Turns out, the morning shoot was one of the best thing we've ever did since Week One. Paul dropped by - as promised (thanks Paul!) - and helped us set up the equipment and due to the way the classroom was set up, a sound mixer was done away with. That freed up a lot of our burden as sound is a rather complicated state of affair that I personally would not want to be involved with.

A slight setback in the guise of the wrong classroom notwithstanding, the three of us thought the morning shoot was an excellent session.
