Making my Short-Film

I have been working on my short film for a couple of weeks now. I am down to the final editing, and really getting down to the wire with subtle touch-up work. With the deadline almost here, I would like to use this blog to first, state that I have enjoyed all of my time spent working so far, and second, reflect/discuss some of the experience:

Capturing the raw footage and audio went very well, but I do wish I had used my mono-pod more. The result of not using this stabilization device when I should have is that a lot of my action shots are shaky. However, I have been able to iron these out via Adobe After Effects software (part of Adobe Production). I also wish I had been able to allot more time to capturing even more looks/shots. I had a great experience with the one actor in my film. He was my friend though, so this may have something to do with his patience, effort, and willingness to help. It was strange filming a setting that I would have, under any other circumstance, definitely been an active participant within, instead of behind the camera.

I enjoyed using the Cannon 7D, but I don't know that anybody is going to be able to tell that I used such a quality machine. If nothing else, it made things easier.
