A Night In Silver Spring

    For our most recent independent video assignment we were to create a 90 second movie showing what it's like to live in Silver Spring, Maryland. Because this will be shown to visting british students we wanted to make something that represented what we would actually do on a typical saturday night. I think it went extremely well and I atribute that to our planning.
    Even for the this short video I decided it would be smart to do some quick pre-production work. We had an idea but what would actually be filmed was not decided until we made a shot list. This made it easy once we began shooting because we both knew exactly what we wanted it to look like. Because we were organized, the final product was just what I was hoping for, maybe even better. When filming I used a few techniques such as the two time-lapses. What I like about them is they are both very different because one uses pictures and the other uses video but they both speed up time and create an energetic tone and pace. It was also fun for us to film because this represents what we like to do and all we really needed to do was have a camera with us. I hope you enjoy the video as much as we do.
