5 Phrases

“Would you look at that!?”

“That’s pretty neat”

“Mitchel, line one”

“Look dude! You have my KID!!!”

“That’s what happens when two things get bound up, and let me tell you, I was SCARED”

The scene opens in a kitchen with a few people around, imagine a very laid back get together. A man and woman are sitting at the counter talking. The man, Drew, doesn’t like babies, and a young couple with a new born enter  the room. The father, Devan, knows Drew doesn’t like babies and brings the baby over to him.

Devan to Drew – Hey man, hold my baby for a second, I need a break.

Drew – No way Devan, you know how I feel about babies, once she starts walking and talking, I will want to play with her.

Devan – Come on! Its not scary, you can handle this!

Drew – I know I can handle it, but I don’t want to handle your kid!

Devan – Okay, okay I will leave it alone.

Seconds later Devan comes back and sets the baby right on Drew’s lap and tries to get him to take her.

Devan – Dude Look! You’ve got my kid!!

Drew cowers back because he really does not want to hold this kid.

Drew – Seriously!? I thought you were going to let this go! Why is everyone so interested in me holding this kid!?

Devan – Why are you so afraid to hold my kid? The worst thing she could do is poop on you!

Drew – Yeah and everyone is really okay with a kid defecating in their lap.

Devan – Its really not that bad. – Spoken in a sarcastic tone as a joke –

The babies mother comes and takes the child with a disapproving look on her face.

Mother – If he doesn’t want to hold the baby he doesn’t have to! Now leave him alone!

Drew – Thank you! Now on with the party!

SJRMC Picture

Here we are shooting the first scene, we have Bill up on the ladder getting a GOPRO shot, and Michael setting up his shot for a good take. We were experimenting with different lighting set ups to get the right feel.

This is my friend Ben, He was in a bad car accident about 10 years ago and still suffers from PTSD. I would do a documentary on him and how he has grown stronger from that event. He also has started his own Not For Profit organization to help people with PTSD from any situation.

This is Mitch, He is a very interesting character. He likes to write, create games, and is a great business man. I would be doing a documentary on a day in his life, basically. He always has a story about something so it would not be hard to make it interesting.

It would also be an option to do a documentary on this not for profit organization and how they work. Basically show how they came to be and where they are now.

Picture Examples, and Camera shot Examples

This is with a "sun" white balance, everything looks more green and the sky looks a lot better.

This is with a "shade" white balance, you can see that the sky is pretty out of good color, and compared to the next picture it looks pretty bad.

Hard Work, or Concentration

When I began thinking about this I knew I had to do something work related because I spend a lot of time at work, and there is a good group of people around. So I decided I would try to show the emotion of hard work. Some people might not think that it is an emotion, to these people I say that you have never worked hard enough to feel this emotion. These pictures are from different construction sites I have been to in the last week before and after school. I work at a Ready-Mix Concrete company called Transit-Mix Concrete, just to give a little background.

I am posting these pictures from work, and as I sit here I started to wonder if these pictures don't show a concentration emotion more than a working emotion. That is something I am going to have to think about!
