Tales of wonder and woe: UWOL 11

Keith Heyward · October 21st, 2008, 10:16 PM

Hey Everyone.

I found out about uwol a few months ago while I was working in Costa Rica, but since I didn't have a camera there at the time and I was living about 5 hours from an internet spot, I had to wait it out.
When I found out I would be coming back to the states in time to edit something to submit, I convinced my girlfriend to bring me her camera when she visited because the wildlife I was seeing everyday was to good to pass up. To my surprise, my girlfriend gave me a canon hv20 camcorder as an early birthday gift, so that I could shoot some stuff. It is actually the first video camera I have ever owned, believe it or not. Its not the best camera out there, but it worked great for bringing out into the field with all of my work gear. I was studying monkeys there, which should be apparent in my video.
Anyways, this is a first for me and I hope there are many more to come. Thanks to whomever organizes all of this. I had a great time doing it.

Keith

Welcome Keith!

Thanks goes to Meryem for heading up this contest.
But, it also goes to people like you and everyone else that participates. Kind of hard to have a film challenge if no on enters. :)

Look forward to watching your film!
