I had just a simple few that I thought had quality work. There was one named Gary Ellis that I was not impressed with his work or his idea at all. He stated he simply printed the pictures the night before and he didn't have time to make them look right. His excuse was that he didn't have time because he worked full time and he didn't care about his capstone because he already had a job. He also stated that this was a hobby. I didn't like the answer at all. It made me irritated and almost like a slap in the face to the teacher as well as the other students who work hard on their work. He left an impression of carelessness for his work and sloppiness. I would not hire him for anything. His work was not good. It was thrown together, sloppy and showed very little effort. Yes he had the pictures on a built area with poles and carpet pieces on the floor but his work was awful. Im surprised it was allowed a the event.
There was a few that I thought were excellent. Xian was great, Santiago had a great video and so did Todd. I was impressed with their work. Also Nate had a great comic book. He is very talented. So there was a select few who I thought made a lasting impression.
I feel good about my capstone idea and I am super excited to present in may!s

Timeline
I have put together a timeline based on dates that were in the schedule already. I also added a half way point in my project and that is where I would have the filming done then start the editing and post production process.

Look at the big picture outside yourself
It was easy to hear someone talk about my idea maybe because I am passionate about it as well as I am comfortable with the work ahead of me. As far as talking about someone elses, I had no issues there as well. I think both her and I had solid ideas and were confident in our skills to be able to do a great job.

Capstone - Ideas
For my capstone I want to do a documentary on a thoroughbred horse farm owned by M C Roberts. He has a farm with a track located on the property and has anything from babies, to training horses to retired race horses that are now used as pony horses. I want to capture every aspect to bring the horse farm to life. I will be doing video primarily as well as a few stills along the way. I will be going to horse races as well as filming on the farm. I want to add certain views in the camera...the horse coming out of the shoot, the horses feet running away from the camera, the jockey getting on the horse to the horse running on the track.
Things that inspired me. I love horses and wanted to show all the different aspects that maybe the average everyday person might not be able to experience. He also has some cool exercise machines that the horses go on that would be interesting to the public. He is knowledgeable in his sport and is passionate, not only about his horses, but for the sport as well.
