I’m going into the office today.

Hi everyone, I recently went into my dad’s office for take your kid to work day, and I learned about how the company works, and what they do, if you want know that too, click here:

It was really interesting seeing how the company worked, and I talked to some of the engineers about how they got into engineering, and what they do at the company because I am interested in engineering.

We had to make a video about our experience there too, here was mine:

I hope you enjoyed learning a bit about the company and engineering like I did.

The reason I didn’t focus on my dad is all the work he does can’t really be shared online.

Thanks for reading.

Running a remake. Then again, and again, and again.

Why did I end up in a trench with my iPad trying to record a 14 year guy running in a forest? Well…

Hello everyone, I wasn’t expecting to be doing this again, but it was a short project about film! Again! And again! And again. And again…

But what did we do this time, what did we learn? We were learning about how to re-create a film, how to plan efficiently, and how to accept work of feedback.

Well, we had to run a remake, but what does this mean? We had to re-create an original text, this video:

And this was our first attempt at re-creating it:
Run! Remake

But how did we make this? We began by scouting our location (we were with a group) we decided where our shots would be then made a storyboard:

Then we filmed, edited, and did some sound design which took a while to create our final product. But the we watched everybody video in class and gave feedback, then we remade our remake. Our feedback was mainly about sound and some other small errors so that was improved. Here was the second iteration:

our second video

Hope you liked it. I learnt a lot from this project even though in was so short, but it was fun as well.

Thanks for reading!
