I have one during the battle – with UI on, I’m afraid…

Well done for managing to get a screenshot mid battle! I’m happy if I manage to stay alive!

Hey guys,

If you’re doing the video then here’s a link to mine :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PTFwMMwIdY

I went OTT on this assignment.

Had a great weekend Weathertopping with everyone and will add pics shortly.

[luringdad jenkyns]

This is an excellent video, you did exactly what the assignment wanted and more. Very detailed, will make me re-read the book to see how much I missed. I should’ve watched your video first before creating mine!

[Neemriel]

Hmm, which pictures?

[luringdad jenkyns]

Here’s some more from Today’s event. We had a whale of a time, we did a walking tour this time. Lots of dancing and fireworks at the Forsaken Inn, followed by more of the same at the summit. My favourite parts were the hide and seek, and the race back to Candy’s camp.

Here’s photos from this morning’s event, I’ll upload the video when it’s finished loading on YouTube.

My submission for the distinction track video assignment:

[Uiril]

You should be working for Naughty Dog, Blizzard or sth…That was a textbook example of how the assignment should be.

[Neemriel]

Luri, as always your pictures are amazing!!! I love the fireworks one and the ones of you playing your music.

And again, your video is also fantastic. You always manage to get some great shots while on the run-I haven’t mastered that skill yet. I love the mix of stills and moving image and you cover key areas in your comparison. You’ll pass with flying colours!

My best tip for running footage is to follow an elf who knows where she’s going! ;) I was very lucky you were a careful driver otherwise I’d have went falling to my death!

Saturday’s Weathertop.
