My Love for Color

After I thought about dating and stuff I started thinking about how my love for color started. I remember it started over the summer at Seariders. This was like back in the day when I couldn't edit for crap, I was knew to video I barely knew what I was doing but I remember it so clearly. Like on of the first few days we got into mixed groups I was working with Bird, Heidi, and Sean. So our first assignment was to make a 30 sec spoof using music from a collection that John picked. So we did a video about Bird being like this wind up toy (we dressed him in a paper tutu and everything). So how it went was Heidi came and wound up Bird and he would jump out of the box and start dancing to the music and then we showed all these other people dancing with him. When it came to the editing though thats when it all started.  I guess I forgot to white balance the camera cause the because the footage was yellow. At the time I didn't know how to fix it and you should've seen the look on Heidi's face she looked so disappointed and I felt so dumb. After a while I guess Heidi just gave up on the video and I spent like a hour or so trying to figure out how to do a white balance with a color corrector (which I can do like nothing now) until John came and helped me out. He showed me how simple it was and I felt even dumber but Heidi seemed to perk up after it was fixed. Well anyway that experience made me feel so ashamed of myself I said that no matter what I would master color correction and that would never happen to me again! Well I think I've kept my word on that because I've gone far deeper into color correction than anyone in the history of James Campbell high I can even color correct better than John now (I think). I've gotten to the point where I can make anything look like a film style video (not to brag or anything) I'm so proud of myself! But yeah I guess a lot of my success in color is credited to Heidi if she didn't look so disappointed I guess I would never have pushed myself to go so in depth into color. So thanks Heidi! I owe you a lot! If it hadn't been for you I wouldn't have made it so far in color and I'm pretty sure that my color style is what helped me win some of my video awards. I just wish I knew how I could pay you back. Who would've thought that my love for color would come from a disappointed face?
