This meeting, our plan was to get some props made and for them to start filming the first part of the Journey video.
Well.... nothing ever goes according to plan.
My daughter started on finishing up her lego movie. We had done these at home, so she knew what needed to be done. And then I set the other girl up to finish her movie. I knew she was having trouble with the camera the whole time, and now I could actually see her problems. Nothing was in focus but since this was 2 weeks ago, I can not even begin to know what went wrong. I want to give her a chance to redo the video, just not sure when we would have the time. Maybe we can work on it at camp in January.
The girls were all give printed out "scripts" of the journey. We went over it really quickly with them, so that they can focus on what else was actually needed to get filming started. We needed flowers, backgrounds, a birds nest and a caterpillar. And they set off working.
If there is a theme with my troop it would be horrible time management because before we knew it, the meeting was just about over and we were not even close to being ready to film. I just do not think that we allotted enough time in our yearly plan for this project.
I decided to try to just film the introduction of the Journey and give the girls a chance to look over everything during the week.
This did not go so well. I was telling them that it is only an introduction and to be natural, but point a video camera at them and all of a sudden, I have 10 minutes of "bloopers". In the end, I asked the girls to know the introduction for next week so we can film it with out them reading from a paper. Hopefully we will be able to get the introduction and first part of the journey filmed next week.
I know that I am crazy, but I am hoping for the second part as well.
