This project was a 48 hour video challenge. The specifications for the challenge were;
- Tell some sort of narrative story in 30 or less.
- Only use two prime lenses (35, 85mm).
- Do not direct or stage any action, everything must be organic and real time.

So I decided I would film my family making dinner. I figured it would be a familiar space and I would be able to focus on my creativity.
Here's the final product.
Now lets talk about some of the challenges I faced with this.
First of all, this was my first time using prime lenses in a documentary style environment. Frantically switching lenses to try and capture a moment was something I didn't expect.
I also chose for a couple shots (such as the opening shot of the ribs) to be shot wide open. Since this was my first time with lenses like this I really want ted to push my depth of field as shallow as possible.
But in retrospect I would have toned down that effect because i found that i lost a few moments due to my dodgy focus pulling.
Overall I’m happy with how this turned out, considering it was my first experience with prime lenses. I may even revisit this project to see what I can accomplish now.
