Shooter's Comments:

So, I don't claim to be good at this multimedia stuff yet. I am still learning a lot making tons of mistakes, wishing I did something different when I come back from shoots.

I did some still photos and a little bit of video from the circus today. I really should have mapped out a plan of attack here. My initial thought was to do a nice mixture of stills in with video. However, my project turned out a bit crazy.

I liked the beginning but not so much the end. Next time I do this, I may just focus on all video or all stills. I did enjoy watching the circus performers. It brought back lots of memories from when I used to go to the circus with my family.
