Yesterday I finally plucked up the courage to attempt some filming of the half-sized table tennis that Daisy and I have been playing during lockdown.
We had played six games, which had gone: Daisy, Ged, Ged, Ged, Daisy, Daisy. That’s 3-3 (or, if you prefer, I won the first best of three and Daisy won the second best of three).
Nothing else for it, a one game decider.
We haven’t really got the hang of us changing ends mid game, nor of the camera placement, but this epic final is quite a thriller.
It’s also less than 5 minutes long.
After the decider, we checked out a different camera angle which, with the benefit of hindsight, I think might be better for future matches.
I get a bit arsy at the end of the screen test for this one. It had been a long, hard day.
The arsy ending is worth the price of admission alone in my opinion.
There will be more where these movies came from.
