I’ve been in a studio for most of the day working on a multi-camera shoot. And not only did I take on the role of First AD &/or Floor Manager, I was Cameraman 1 too.

Impressed with my efforts, the tutor asked me to be the main director of a subsequent shoot - a role that I welcomed with open arms. But when the host/interviewer didn’t show, and nobody else wanted to fill in, I handed my directorness over to another student and stepped in myself, improvising absolutely everything. And from what I’ve been told (and seen of the rushes) I was pretty good at it. So “Hurrah!” on all accounts.

Onto something extraordinary now…

During my lunch break, a second piece of homework was set for over the Easter break: To learn to juggle with three balls for five minutes on the spot - I kid ye not!

Suspecting that this task was nothing more than an end of term wind-down ‘prank’ (you know, to make us groan then realise that the task is just a joke), a couple of us quibbled it with the tutor. Only, the tutor didn’t take too kindly to our disbelief & questioning of her authority, and assured us that we were going to be assessed on the juggling at the beginning of term.

Moving Image Design - Juggling Balls

Hmmm, I’m failing to see the link between the two myself. Unless we’re going to be making rudey films.

What a load of (well, three) balls.
