Drift 2 Strategy

From in my room, the constant sound of construction was starting to get to me. So I went to check out everything going on outside. I walked down Maryland Ave. to watch the construction workers at work. I walked all the way around the construction site, and then when I reached the end a construction worker came up to me and started asking me questions about what I was doing. I explained to him that the sounds were awesome and would really help me with one of my classes. He told me that I could get as close as I wanted.

I thought that was really nice of the man to do, so I decided to stick around the site for awhile until I felt comfortable with what I came up with. I understand that this strategy wasn't the best strategy out there, but I wondered who would really pass up the opportunity to be up close and personal with all of the heavy equipment that we never fully get to see in action.

Once I was done thanking the construction workers for allowing me to do this, I figured I would stick to the basic strategy. I wasn't able to go to Chicago or Minnesota like I wanted, but I did find this really great park in Milwaukee. At this park I was able to record some footage of me circling the play ground. I loved the shot of what I got because its not like the rest of the classes clips. I am moving around in a circle with the camera capturing everything that is still. And the truth be told that I didn't appreciate this clip until I got home and looked at it on my computer and thought that this particular clip could go great with my basketball clips.

So, after it was all said and done, I picked up the sounds and clips and found what I needed to fulfill this project. Hope you enjoy!
