Conducted the first experiment tonight, which took around twenty minutes. Probably could be done quicker and having a drink to hand would be wise. It's interesting to see the fluctuations in the recital, the peaks and troughs. Also how something so apparently straightforward (we all know how to count) is surprisingly difficult when actually performed. Not sure if I have gained a new way of looking at the world, but I will concede that a thousand is a big number.Still need to figure out how to do the 'debriefing'. The camera battery was almost flat so I didn't have time to discuss the experiment afterward.
Another problem arises: I need a better tripod. The footage seems to bounce and I'm not sure why - it coincided with the movement of the chair I sat on, obviously, but it still moved when I was static. Either get another tripod or weight this one down. Might have to put the chair on a mat of some sort too; it's incredibly loud when moved.
Regarding the running order: once completed, the one hundred and one films will be presented in the order stated in the original book. I've chosen to shoot them in a different order, mainly for simplicity (common themes, settings etc.). Each experiment carries its original number to aid cross-referencing.
