I was working at ESPN on Wednesday, and I think I got punked.  See, I got there for a 9-5 shift, but my lead didn't get there until 10.  So, the guy who hired me, Dan, told me to go shoot the two volleyball games that were going on in the Milkhouse.  I grabbed the camera, went out, and started shooting.  I did some low-angle stuff, got some slowmo shots, and a bunch of really good action clips.  All in all, stuff I was actually psyched about, including some pretty rad slowmo, low angle, close-up spikes.

I gave the filled card to Dan, and by then my lead had arrived, and I was off to shoot baseball.  Meanwhile, everyone in the facility was getting ready to do the first of three live events-volleyball championships.  I figured that my footage would get logged and used as a pre-show package, much like last time. 

Anyway, later in the day, after I'd been out for a while, I stopped in Dan's office and asked him how the stuff turned out and that I was really interested to see how some of the shots I'd tried looked.  He told me that he didn't log it, but if I wanted to I could.  And, I did, though it took me an hour.

Now,  I got the nagging feeling as I was logging that I had just been sent out to keep me busy until my lead got in, and that no one had any intention of using any of the stuff I'd shot.  Which is a real bummer, because I was really proud of that stuff, and it would have been great for the bosses to see it.  As it is, though, it's all there and labelled and ready for use, I just don't know what will ever happen to it.  So, yeah, I felt like a chump.

Elsewhere, I beat The Witcher, which is awesome.  I'm totally stoked for the sequel. 

Also, I realize that though I am not into drama-romance, I can dig it as an element of a larger story.

Go watch Moon.
