My ETSU Aerialist Workshop Promo

This is a short video promo that I was asked to make for the ETSU Theater and Dance Department's summer East Tennessee Aerialist Workshop.  I'm pretty happy with it. 

It was shot on the eLearning Canon XH-A1 in 1080i high definition one afternoon in July.  I was told about it on short notice and just shot everything I could think of.  There is plenty of unused footage to make another promo this length.  In editing, I darkened the instructor's dance to make it contrast against the windows better.  Most of the footage was slowed down and the color slightly boosted.

I tried to use the movement of the subjects and the play of light and dark to illustrate students striving for perfection.  The clumsy shots of mistakes and unsteady performers counter-point the amazing ability of the instructor and other students performing with grace and confidents as a matter of course.

This video was shot and edited in 1080p High Definition.  To really get a look at it, watch it in YouTube HD.

You can also watch it at Vimeo, but I'd like to see everyone watch the youtube video because if it gets lots of hits they might ask me to make more!
