5/26/2007: Marianne Has Completed "On Safari!"


It sure was an interesting day to say the least. If the people in my town don’t think I’m nuts than they’re nuts! I started off trying to observe people in regular places like gas stations and grocery stores but it didn’t work because people weren’t standing around long enough for me to capture them on film. I ended up filming at a park next to the zoo.
I dressed in my finest safari clothes and set off to watch an interesting mix of people. You can’t tell by the video but people stopped to watch at each location. You can hear them in the background and you can see me trying to get out of each location pretty fast, since I don’t know all the technicalities on stalking laws.
Filming five people was harder than I thought it would be. People move way too fast for me to be able to comment on their behaviors. In most pictures I just let their actions speak for themselves.
Here is the video:

Probably the best debut task ever! Very well done. The accent, the hat, the shirt, the stylizing; all spot on. I really liked the quote when the guy was bent over in the car you said something to effect of "Now here's something no one ever wants to see."

Stephen- You did a great job editing this and getting it up and running. Thanks for all your help. And thanks for the nice comments, this really was a fun thing to do! Definitely not a norm for me!

Allison- Thanks for your nice comments too! Believe me, this was more than I would have ever thought I would do too! Once I got going though, the sillier it got, and the more fun. It was a nice change to anything I would have done that day otherwise!
