For a brief period in 2013, in my newfound town of Lakeland, FL, I dabbled in this Reading project. This project led to many interesting conversations with many interesting people. I met my now wife through this project. These days, this project is a time capsule of a time when I found myself squarely outside my comfort zone, and I voraciously explored every square foot of that space.
This project was a personal education in recording sound and managing noises, and shooting in available light. I am setting some limitations while recording this. I plan to use no more than reflectors to direct light and shoot with an 85mm Nikor lens on my camera. I am filming in my apartment when I can.
Before Chuck moved out of Lakeland, I had to find a time-capsule by which to remember him. He has been a great friend and has made my transition to a new city easy. He will be missed.
Secretly, this video is my foray into recording and producing better quality voice. This was done using a Zoom H1 with a dead-cat covering the mic. The video is otherwise untouched, just trimmed for content. There are some minor adjustments done to the sound to reduce background noise.
