I haven't had a chance to use the video camera properly, because I could not get a tape to record it. Today Wafah and I had planned to do the filming of the first sequence, to do that we needed a tape. Our dear talent, happened to have a tape that she could spare us for filming. So we went over to her house to get the tape and shoot the scene.
Now that we finally had a tape, we assumed that we could start shooting the scene at our talent's house and area. I started to set up the tripod, Wafah looked around to get an idea of what to shoot, and our talent help to get the video camera started. Everything was fine, until....the camera decide to not work for us? Every time we tried to put in the tape, the video camera would either immediately eject it or read it for a while then eject it. At this point in time, we think the tape is corrupted or something? So Wafah and I, go off to get a new tape from a store nearby. But when we were almost there, our talent call us and told us that there is nothing wrong with the tape, but with the camera!? Upon this shocking news, we rushed back to find out. It seems that when she took out the tape, some tiny piece of tube-like plastic fell out! We couldn't do the filming, so we took picture of the scenes we wanted, so we don't need to remember them and get a feel of the shots.
Sigh....it is really sad that we couldn't get production done properly, but things like these are bound to happen.....so we must always be prepare for anything...We have been warned...
Over and out
