Elevator Ride

        For my second Time Studio project I had to take a 1 minute continuous, unedited video. I live in a 17-story dorm this year so I ride the elevator all the time. It's SO interesting to see how people behave in an elevator. Think about it. In an elevator you can't call anyone, go anywhere, or look at anything so you are forced to either interact with other people in the elevator or remain silent and stand awkwardly until you reach your floor. Every now and then you can catch a funny conversation but most people pretend they are texting someone to avoid feeling awkward. HELLO you're in a metal box with no service, you're not fooling anyone!
        Anyway, to get to the point, for my one minute long shot I decided to carry my video camera with me in the elevator for a few days and record every ride. After about 3 days worth of riding up and down not recording anything funny or strange I finally got one.
        I was really surprised that during those 3 days, no one noticed that I was holding a video camera pointed at their face with the record light on...watch out people! Those not-so-hidden cameras will get you every time!
