Getting To Grips With New Kit

Over the summer I managed to get hold of a Canon 550D, an increasingly popular camera. I spent an afternoon down at the Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh getting to grips with the camera and have posted the results below. It shows up a few technical issues, mainly aliasing, which can be seen in the roof of the Victorian Palm house and across a bench in a later shot. It's a learning process though and i'm very much enjoying experimenting. In the mean time, take a look!

EDINBURGH: Update

Well, a good few months have passed and I have to say I'm really pleased with how my Graded Unit film has been received. Not only did I get a good grade but Edinburgh has been shown at various college events as well as on the BBC Big Screen, on Lothian Road, in Edinburgh. The film has also had around fifteen new musical scores written for it by Students at Stevenson College. I was amazed by the quality of all of these and surprised by how much they added to the film. Hopefully I'll be able to add a few to my Youtube page in the coming months.

In the mean time it's back to college, Graded Unit 2 isn't far away!
