A bit of Inspiration from Devin Supertramp
​
Filmed on Vancouver Island. I've been following Devin's work for years. This is some of his earliest work on a small, relatively inexpensive DSLR camera.

Homework
Capture 3-5 shots of what "spring" means to you. (or as many as you want)
- Use your camera, phone camera, tablet or iPad ... whatever
- Take your time and get creative
- Have fun and stay safe
​
Hold shots for around 10 seconds
- this gives the editor "handles" for transitions
​
Send the shots to me and I'll edit them into a video. So even though we are separate, we will all still create a project together.
- You can use Dropbox or whatever file transfer site is familiar to you
- One of the simplest and my favorite is "we transfer" (no registration, totally free)
