Filming the Machine

For the last few days I have been helping the other group members with their films, whilst building and preparing for mine. I set it up yesterday and this morning I was ready to start filming it. I quickly realised that it wasn't going to work all the way through, and if I wanted to film it like that it would take forever. As a result I decided to film all the individual sections and edit them together. This is NOT cheating, as the machine definitely does works as a whole, in theory. It went as smoothly as I could have hoped for, but the most hit and miss sections were getting the pipe to roll straight, and getting the cassettes to knock the record off balance. I transferred the footage over to Final Cut to begin arranging them, and noticed a setback: One of the sections was missing where I forgot to press record. Next week I am on a work experience placement, and the week after is deadline week, so I hope to re-film that section then.
