Roll video and cut!

The inclement weather and illness in the production team meant a delay to our initial filming. Choosing seagulls as our star characters was fairly unpredictable when wanting to follow a storyboard. However, shoestring chips from flying squid meant no shortage of wannabe stars.
We had a fun time feeding seagulls and using the camera. I liked the close ups with the camera on the ground. The birds were very wary of the camera but still couldn't resist the lure of the shoestring!
No problems with instructions for uploading video. We ended up with a total of 6 minutes film and captured 4 clips. The important thing to remember with the upload is to have the camera and computer turned off before connecting the fire wire devices and also to turn everything off before disconnecting.

Storyboard


Our group storyboard for a movie loop. It involves seagulls which might prove to be somewhat unpredictable!
