Deadlines/Outdoor Lighting

Okay, so I haven't been able to produce as many videos as I had hoped to by this time. In fact, I haven't actually completed a single one. However, I'm not going to let that get me down. As I have stated in previous posts, availability has become a major challenge for me. It's just very difficult for a group of students who, for the most part, go to different colleges to find time to meet up and shoot videos. Right now I am hoping to release my first video by spring break. There is a good chance that we will have a video out before then, but if not then it will definitely be up during the break.

In the meantime, I have been learning a lot about certain camera techniques that will allow for better quality videos. These past two weeks, I have been focusing on finding ways to manipulate lighting. I can tell a noticeable difference in the videos I shoot indoors and outdoors at night. However, I'm still working on outdoor lighting. My particular camera model just doesn't perform how I would like it to outdoors. To combat this problem, I am testing out various factors which influence lighting, such as built-in camera settings, editing techniques, and even the time of day. This week or the next, I plan on uploading some before and after shots to track my progress.
