I love how they don't even touch the fact that for DAYS people's rights, which are clearly stated in the Constitution and Bill of Rights, were with held.

Mainstream media will just sweep this whole thing under the rug by next week.

Breaking your camera sucks (but having connections can save your life)

This weekend I had the misfortune of breaking my beloved Canon 60D, Veronica (yes I named my camera. I also name my cars. My current car's name is Bula. She's kind of a bitch). We were shooting a senior capstone project when I went around the camera to show our actress the blocking I wanted her to do when I accidentally knocked one of the tripod legs. I remember turning back to see the tripod falling, the thud of the camera hitting the floor, rushing to it, and seeing the LCD screen bent back, cracked. Shit. Well, that ended the shoot a little early, eh? Fortunately, I was able to call upon a friend who owns a 7D to borrow it so that we could finish the project. But I still had a busted camera.

I took broken Veronica to Arts Camera in Greenfield, where they told me fixing it would cost a flat rate of $300 and take 5-8 weeks. Yikes. Sending it directly to Canon for replacement would cost at least $250 and take a little less long. Still sucky.

I had resigned myself to not having a camera for awhile when I was talking to Chris and Denny from the Instructional Media Center at MU. I work for them as a student engineer on the second floor of Johnston hall. I told Denny about my plight, and he said that the IMC belonged to a special group where they got discounts and fast turn-around-times on fixing Canon cameras and that he would be happy to put my camera through that system since I work for them and have done a good job. HALLELUJAH!

So, while it sucks I have to pay to fix my camera I should have just been more careful to protect in the first place, knowing the right people has gotten me a much better price to pay for the repairs, and it's already been sent out and should be back good as new next week.

Oh, yeah, here's the short that we shot with the ill-fated 60D and 7D.

Oh, The Water.
