It was my third day of work. I went to work with files I worked on last time. I planned to finish them today, if I could. It was near noon when my supervisor called for help. He had to do some video shooting and asked me to help with setting up lights and stuff. It was kind of cool because it was actually the first video shooting I took part of. He had his camera on a tripod with wheels and used tape on the floor to mark destinations for the subjects. He taught me a few things, such as facing the lights, moving the camera, and etc. I felt excited and motivated.

At one point we were supposed to shoot all four subjects at once, but the last person didn’t show up. I was then asked to be the fourth person in the shoot. I tried my best to hide my smile because for a second I was part of the video shooting, and the next second I became the subject. When we finished all the shots the fourth person finally showed up. We had no choice but to redo the whole thing, I figured my scenes would not be used, what a shame.

Afterwards I went out for quick lunch, came back to finish my masking. I thought I would be able to finish, but I couldn’t. It might be my habit of attending to minor details; my Raster and Vector professor pushed me to always work on high-resolution pictures and leave no trace behind. The pictures were not the greatest, because I could tell that most of them were worked on in Photoshop already.
