The Syncopated ladies is a senior citizen tap dancing group that practices and performs at the Denton Senior Center. Shooting this video gave me a lesson in reading people. I generally work with young and medium age audiences so working with the senior citizens was a change in pace. Getting my interviewees to act like I wasn’t there was not easy. This may have come easier if I had more practice but I did try to get in their faces. Although it may seem like a bunch of feet, I did get a better feel for sequence and the shots I should be looking for.

What a long day, from dawn to dusk the work just kept coming. I learned an important lesson this day, ‘keep on truckin’. The day was hectic and unorganized but we made the best of what we had, and I feel like we documented a piece of history.
