Camera Problems | Blog Post #35

Do you guys remember how in my previous film i bought a camera for that film? Well while the camera worked and very much went off without a hitch, the life expectancy of the camera is what's coming into question. The Wolfgang Ga100 is a cheap camera. While it fit my budget and timings of the time,  I think it was too much of me to ask for another use out of it.



One of the most restrictive issues I had with the camera is the battery. The battery has about 20 minutes of life in it according to the advertising. The camera came with two batteries; this means that there is about 40 minutes of film time. Seems like a small amount huh? But wait! There's more! When i actually used the camera myself i got about 20 to 30 minutes of actual usability.

Now you might be wondering why did i bring this up? After a long long time of no use the camera and the batteries refuse to work. Which means that now my cheap camera has morphed into a dead camera. I guess this is what i should expect from cheap tech... Anyways, with this update out of the way, I'm going to be researching alternative strategies for filming. I'll keep you all posted!

I found my Sacagawea | Blog Post #34

 A few short moments after the adorable chicks and mom were photoed, i decided to talk with some locals and see their perspectives about the birds. Hence my wonderful interaction with the woman we are referring to as Sacagawea: I had a lovely conversation interviewing her and seeing how passionate she was about the birds. She was actually more interested in the birds than able to hold a conversation in the interview. Nonetheless, her passionate responses were heard! I'll catch you all soon in the next post!

The Calm Before the Coming Storm Part 1 | Blog Post #9

 SO IT SEEMS ALL IS WELL RIGHT?!  You would be correct... for now. At the moment we have our idea of our protagonist in isolation fighting against manipulated bullying. However, that is about all we have. So as this post is so cleverly named, we must prepare for the coming of the storm. The storm being production period.  So one of the most important parts of production is a location. Now i have a couple of thoughts running through my head. And it comes back to one place. You guessed it, the previous filming location as for the previous film. Now you may be wondering as to why? Well in my story board (release coming soon), it depicts the use of  the character walking through areas near rubble or not very well cleaned. It just so happens that there is a gas station with road construction next to it near the location we previously used. I also would like the use of a dingy run down building for filming inside of to be the home of the protagonist. Well my family owns on...
