This Saturday and Sunday is the music video shootout
Deadworkers, but none there this time (assuming they're getting everything ready to go for this weekend).

Showed off her cool new tiny camera, a Canon ZR600. 25X Optical zoom and less than $4oo with USB, analog, and firewire connections.
Tina
3.
Brought a lawn and garden cart that's big enough for a person and a tripod. Was $70 with good wheels and holds up to 1000 pounds. Useful for dolly shots.
Stanley

Returned material of Jim's that was used in Shawn Webster's & Co. improvisation performance the night before.
Anna Sue
5.
Tina on Stanley's cart filming with her camera, handheld, then on a tripod. Then on the cart with the camera facing her so the background moved behind her as she spoke.

Brought a neat little short video he did called Building a House... Full
Sam

Showed the video montage he did for Shawn.

8.
Meant to talk about this but forgot. “Listening shots” are incredibly useful, because other characters can be saying anything and it will change the tone of the visuals of whomsoever speaking.
