Transitioning to Video

I have finally decided to force myself to dedicate more of my time to shooting video. It is very hard to set my still camera down to pick up the video camera instead, but I think that it is for my own good. I made my first serous attempt with a video story this week at the Shak-o-thon that was on the UNT campus. The student organizations were building cardboard houses on campus that they were suppose to live in for a couple of days. Their goal was to raise money for Habitat for Humanity. I thought there were a few flaws in their logic on the project, because it was pushed back a day because of rain. I don’t think that homeless people get to push pause on their lives because of the weather. The last time I checked they are still out there, rain or shine. They also had laptops and extravagant furniture set-ups. But, they were still out there for a good cause so you have to give them some credit. So, when the rain stopped, they got out there with their tape and boxes and began to build there shacks. I was out there with the video camera in the morning and Chase Martinez shot some on the afternoon.  I edited that same night and we got the video on the web. So go check it out let me know what you think. I am always open for criticism.
