Five go camping

Dear me, the summer times have flown by!

Cardiff's students have buggered off, so the union's been dead and I there hasn't been much else on locally. 

So, with nothing else to do I decided to go and work at Soul Survivor weeks B and C in Shepton Mallet as a video editor for the Seminar recording team. I was promised a shiny new iMac and fun times, both of which came true! It was like christmas in a field.

Although the office had no windows we were allowed out into the big wide world two or three times a day to eat and pick berries. 

This year was the first year that seminars were being filmed, so we had a whole bunch of new problems to overcome, like a 4Gb record limit on the cameras, cheap tripods that are held together with PVC tape and renders that took 4 hours for every hour of footage!

The team had a team leader, a deputy, editors and camera/sound ops, with some ops having a go at editing. Over the two weeks I got to share the office with these monkeys

Sorry if you're eating...

The office was split up into three sections, audio editing, video editing, and the cinema (with surround sound system) and that is where I lived from 8.30am to 12am every day for two weeks.
