Back in 2006, when my sister Jen was starting on the bowling team at VVS, Dad would go bowling with her to help her practice. Dad used to bowl and this was a great opportunity for him to get into bowling again as well. I recorded the video because they wanted to see their forms, but I ended up making music videos for each of them instead.

Jen wasn't having a good day when we shot this, unfortunately. Didn't help that her off hand had a sprained finger (or something, I forget what exactly), but Dad was able to help her out as the games progressed. Her form improved quite well as time went on, such that by the time she got this video it wasn't that helpful as a training aid. She's at least somewhat out of practice now, but I'm sure she could get back into the swing of things.

From a technical standpoint, there are things I'd want to change about the video. It was shot interlaced; I knew what that was at the time but didn't know that my camera could do progressive. Still, it made slow-mo shots easier. I was also somewhat unsteady with the camera at times, and for the face shots I relied on autofocus, which got wonky. In post, there's some timing that I'd clean up or change, and some color correction would have been nice to give it a warmer tone. Still, as far as cutting to the music goes, I think I did a pretty good job.
