Trek Assessment #4

My favorite experience from taking these treks was when I was filming at a playground. Not only did I capture the innocence of a kid playing on a playground, but I was also able to capture amazing movement of these roller toys on the playground. There were about 30-40 rollers with alternating colored sides that a child could spin. This may not sound very interesting but if a person quickly tried to spin as many as they could on the opposite side anyone viewing would see this amazing assortment of moving colors. It sort of made random patterns and reminded me of the green blinking numerals used in the movie “The Matrix.” It could also be compared to a kaleidoscope. For some odd reason this viewing affected me. It showed that I could make really cool “special effect” type scenes without relying on computers or editing software. It made me feel like a stronger and more confident filmmaker.
