Film Making..

Filming is really what got me into photography. Watching the surfing at Boardmasters the first year I went, I just felt compelled to capture it (I know you usually only read sentences as cliché as that on tumblr, but its true) and a video camera was all I had on me with a long enough zoom, and I stuck with it for a while because I really enjoyed the editing as well. But with this Severn Bore project, I'm finding it a bit of a drag. Don't get me wrong, the Bore itself and everything that goes on around it is amazing, but It's really something that lends itself better to photos (as shown by Greg Martin in his latest County Limits article in length, which I deff suggest you give a read) and after 4 filming trips, I've been left with a bunch of pretty uninspiring footage (with the exception of an interview with Stuart Ballard, who is really interesting). The lights bad, and my filming skills are minimal, so now I've got to the editing stage I'm a bit down, especially since I don't have the choice of ditching it and not making the edit (its for my A level media.) Still, I'm going to stick with it and hope a bit of music, informative voice-over and the aforementioned interview salvage the project and turn it into something I at least don't mind sending off to a board off boxy examiners.
