limbo in cambridge


it's been almost two weeks since we've been in cambridge. we've shot a manuscript from corpus christi college, a book from tyndale house, and now are in the midst of shooting seven from christ's college. the timing is slow and it takes nearly a minute to line up each page to shoot. which, with only four people on the team, and two cameras, means that i don't have time right now to video, nor permission from the college. hopefully the latter is coming soon, though.

so far, i have climbed on the roof for a sunset, shot some general craziness, my first interview (which had terrible lighting) and begun finding my style. but it is difficult to film right now, especially with the idea of carrying all the equipment back and forth between the colleges, not having the permission to film in the colleges, and people who i need to get permission from not being at the colleges.

but, the coworkers are melding together pretty well. the jeffs and the wallaces make a pretty good team. we are all almost ten years apart from the next one, which makes for an interesting tetrachotomy, especially since i'm the one doing the filming.

i hope to do my first filming of interviews with the crew this week, but currently my stuff is at christ's college, awaiting permission for use.

for now, pretending to have a british accent will have to do.

so what's the deal? video cameras more intimidating than regular cameras or what? or are you just intimidating?

whatever it is, hoping you'll get permission soon to do what you need to do.
