Journal Week Thirteen - Cooking Show

This week a childhood friend who went into the army had his marchout at Kapooka and my family promised that we would go watch it and spend the day with him afterwards. His family who we hadn't seen for three years also came down from Brisbane and it was good to see them again. However these things meant that I wasn't able to go to this fridays class.

I'm not sure what roles I had but it was another cooking show to get our skills up. I wish I was there because people (including Steve) told me of a very funny occurence involving Steven, the Vision Mixer, and star wipes. So even though I wasn't in class I still have learnt that if you are on vision mixer, make sure that when you use the fader, check to see what fade setting it is on before you start cross fading, or you could be star wiping to everything like Steve.

I have been doing more work with Final Cut Pro and have been learning a lot more about it, I have also looked into getting some things like a Wacom Tablet and Post Production programs because I would really like to further my skills in post production.

Recently we filmed the ambulance/first aid insert which I was on sound for, and it went really well, despite the camera battery having no charge in it, luckily we had a smaller battery as a spare. I found the whole ambo side of things really interesting, and couldn't believe just how many machines and accessories and things they can fit in an ambulance. I also got some brushing up done on my CPR. I can't wait to see how it turns out.
