The third piece we covered for our class we really hit a home-run on. We were given the topic of choosing a member of the college community with talent and then to film it. We focused on the RWU Men's Basketball Team, namely, Senior and Captain Dan Gumb. Gumb did a great job in front of the camera. He was constantly willing to work with us, when we needed to change shots, when we wanted him to word certain things in a certain way he was willing.
It was fun capturing him in action slamming those dunks down, Lord knows I've tried and the most I ever got was my hand grazing against the bottom of the net. We were able to film him with some nice background shots of kids playing basketball. Once again the B-roll was rolling in. It's important to keep the kids playing in the background for continuity purposes.
We shot Dan from atop the basketball courts and then on the bottom for the final piece. I was pretty scared holding the camera on the final bit where he dunks right over me. Everybody did a great job putting this piece together, way to go to Dan as well for having a great 4 years here playing for the school.
