An Afternoon of Cinematography

Hi all. I promise that there will be a Film Fest Friday this week. It's currently residing at the end of this post. But before that, a little bit about my day:

Today I had a film shoot. I'm currently producing various video segments and faculty interviews for an orientation week here at school. But as fun (and insane) as producing is, I finally got to live according to my true calling: cinematography. Yes, for the entire afternoon I peered over the shoulder of my camera operator, setting up shots, arranging lighting and the like. And it was fantastic. I wasn't able to do quite everything I wanted with the scenes we were shooting, but I still had an excellent time and look forward to doing more work in the future.

So, anyway, that's what I spent my afternoon doing.

On to Film Fest Friday. Today I return to classic Walt Disney cartoons with "The Whalers", a short I discovered recently in which Mickey, Donald, and Goofy try their best to catch a whale. Do they succeed? Watch and find out:



Okay, I gotta go now. I've got a lot of film work to do tonight.
Thanks for stopping by,
T.H. Excellence
