With the weekend now past and with me a little further along in catching up on my sleep I want to take a moment to reflect on this past week’s project.

Without a doubt the Fringe 62-Hour Film contest was a fun and very educational experience for myself. Working with 7 other creative individuals intensively for an entire weekend was an experience on its own.

Of course I have worked in large groups before to complete a common goal, but this was different. This weekend’s project was something that the majority of us had no background in and as such we were all learning.

For myself this was something that I never thought I would have completed, I wouldn’t know where to start, but having completed the weekend I can definitely see myself competing in the contest another year down the road.

My role in making the film (aside from all shared roles) was the operation of the camera. With no previous video experience I soon learned that although video shares many characteristics with still photography, there are still many more new variables that need to be taken into consideration. I enjoyed the opportunity to learn a little about video, in terms of the technical aspects as well as composition and other more subjective video concepts.

The last thing I want to say is, Thank You to my team members for making the weekend a great experience. I learned lots about filmmaking, the community and myself and couldn’t ask for more.

I wanted to extend a special thanks to Adam Caplan of web.isod.es for letting me use his video equipment and teaching the various aspects of video over the course of the weekend. I very mush appreciated the patience that Adam showed when working with me for the weekend. Thanks Adam.
