What I Learned Today?

How to Use and Balance my Gimbal

Nathan Desilva and I got to the cafe to shoot our videos, and we had roughly three hours to get everything done. We had planned most of the shoot over our lunch. We buy our coffees and I begin to try to balance my gimbal so we can start shooting. Two hours later we are still trying to balance this thing. It was crazy, it almost frustrating, but he’s such a positive guy we kept our heads and pushed through laughing the whole way.

We ended up getting some footage that I am really proud of before the sunset. I definitely need to get better at working my gimbal. Ioana would have prepared me for this if I would have been following all of her homework’s. It’s truly a good lesson. You pay for everything in this life, and it’s most often better to pay sooner than later.

Any Interesting Thoughts, Experiences, Insights, or Emotions?

Today was really a great day, it epitomized, the “work hard, play hard” lifestyle. I spent most of it with my friend Nathan Desilva. I really appreciate him. I want to be more like him. He is so willing to help and and he is so very joyful in his helping. I wish to be more like that.

After we shot my videos though, he got tickets for us and some of our other friends to go to a concert. The bands that played were The Coal Miners and flipturn. The music was good and I enjoyed myself. The experience to me felt a lot like a worship service at a Protestant church. Worship has always felt very odd to me at Protestant services. It has always felt far too shallow and superficial an experience for it to be worthy of God.

To be fair, I am not trying to say that the concert wasn’t great, nor am I trying to say that Protestant’s have it all wrong. I am just saying that it feels silly to me that Protestants have access to the greatest things, yet they have chosen to present them in a way that feels so shallow and false.

Did I Make Something?

I actually made a lot today! Nathan Desilva and I shot at least 8 videos today. I am excited to start editing the footage and will probably start after I finish this. It is already super late though, but I am not super tired and at least want to get them in Premiere Pro.
