So last weekend I spent an hour at The Dickens Festival in Medford, as organized by the Medford Historical Society. All of Main Street was closed off for pedestrians. Some people were dressed up as Dickensian characters and were caroling. Other people were playing instruments. Others were simply local vendors selling food and other merchandise. The mayor spoke briefly, a Christmas tree was lit, and kids lined up to talk to a Santa.
Meanwhile, I was filming various things with my camera. Truth be told, I wasn't really happy with what I shot. Amidst the heavy crowds in cold weather, I was pretty shaky, and that's not indicative of what I'm truly capable of. Also, my heart just wasn't into much that day overall; I was all on my lonesome amidst all of these happy families and young couples, and I foolishly parked farther away than I had to. On the bright side, I bought some kettle corn.
So a full 5-10 minute video about the Festival is out of the question based on the footage, but I could probably squeeze out two or three quick videos that are less than a minute. That's all based on when I get around to reviewing what I shot. The holiday season is starting to pick up here - I still need to buy gifts - and my day job has been very busy lately.
