(Edit: the multimedia presentation was sized for The Gazette's settings which turned out to be too big for my blog so you have to click the link above and you will then be directed to the proper URL which hosts the presentation)
I finally got the courage to do a multimedia project today. Considering that it is only my second ever attempt at doing so I'm pretty pleased with my results. I can say that being able to use the proper (expensive) equipment from the paper was a big help this time around.
I kept going back and forth on whether or not I was going to do one. I didn't even have the audio gear when I went to the event. However I arrived at 10am when I thought it was supposed to start but it turned out that they were only rehearsing. The paper is only three blocks from the park where it was being held so I just walked back to get the recorder, mic and headphones.
It was difficult trying to decide when exactly to shoot and when to record but it was so much easier this second time around. The event really lent itself well to multimedia because there was a lot of things to shoot and there was a lot of great audio everywhere.
While I was shooting as the event started I took off my hat and stuffed it into my belt pack out of respect but not five minutes after doing so it fell off somewhere and I never found it. Considering that I have had that all black Braves hat since 2004 I was really pissed. However I was even more pissed when I got in the car and looked at my hair in the mirror, I couldn't have looked more ridiculous. Only god knows what people must have thought of me with all my gear and nappy looking hat hair.
It has been a ridiculously long day so I'm going to shut it down now. Thankfully my assignment tomorrow isn't until 1pm so I can sleep in. Leave some comments and let me know what you think. I really want to improve upon my next multimedia project but I need some feedback on this one in order to do so.
