Spent the weekend playing with my band and pushing a little further in Final Cut Pro. I was cutting a small 'And Finally' feature about a kid who was doing work experience in our university. I put my foot in it when I asked what year in primary school he was in. He was fifteen.

I'm finding that I'm rather good in bringing people out and coaxing them into talking to the camera. There is a general distrust with anyone wielding a microphone and especially a camera, but I find a little flattery and put on naivete works wonders. Asian boys and girls tend to be the least willing, which could be an interesting survey.
