FS7: Show your wrong timed footage.

[Publimix]

During a shoot I saw some interesting workers. I stopped by to film them. And stopped filming a second too soon.

Just for fun, show your best 'frustrating wrong timed footage'

Let me start.

Did not expect the guy to jump, normally they use a ladder.

Ha! Great clip man!

He only decided to jump because he thought you would film it.

I think you might be right.

Lots of reality shows work that way. Discovery channel exists on this principle.
Point a camera at people and they start to act silly after a while. Everybody wants to entertain.

mmm, does this work on forums too? Time for som introspection here, 750 posts without a clue?

I have experienced this as well, people noticing the camera pointed their way and then they try to look their best and behave like they are some glamorous movie star. On the other hand, I've come across enough people that are obviously disturbed by the camera on them, and for these types, I try to respect their sensitivities, and then shoot them covertly.
