I can't stress enough how awesome this weekend is going to be.

I'll be at http://www.nywolf.org/ in Salem, NY making a documentary about two nearly extinct species of wolves. How great is that? I'll finally be able to help make a difference.

I'm really into the relationship between humans and nature. We destroy it in order to create our civilizations. But then there are those of us who realize how important nature is and there must be a balance. The wolves are near extinction due to human intervention and it is us humans who are trying to fix what we have done.

I'd like to do similar projects in the future, maybe actually go to New Mexico or Arizona and see what is being done for the Mexican Gray Wolf.

I may not have money to donate, nor the time to devote to charity work, but I can still find a way to help.

I want to leave Thursday after class, but having nowhere to stay, I'll just leave early Friday morning. I'll explore the conservation center most of the day and probably get some shots of wolves whenever I can. Saturday I'll be up early with camera in hand, then get some "interviews" and such done. More shots of wolves {duh} and wrap it up from there. That night I'll review what I have and what I need. Sunday I'll be getting more shots of wolves (good to build up a library, and I'll have awesome clips of wolves for myself) and whatever pick-up shots I need, then I'll be heading back to Syracuse to edit the crap outta the film ASAP. That way if I need to go back and get more, I can. This is still a school project, so I do have a deadline.

It wont be in HD, but it wont be on a shitty low-end miniDV camera either. Plus, I am an awesome cameraman who is always at the right place at the right time.

As much as I want to get close to the wolves, I think I'll still be separated by a chain-link fence. Understandable, but unfortunate.

Damn, I get to see wolves! How awesome is that?! My dad is definitely going to be jealous, heh.
