Middle May Madness

All the video projects and home video projects are underway! The students are doing a great job thinking through their shots, scripts, etc. It's exciting and exhausting. We are getting so much footage that I hope I can get it all onto my computer and firewire drive in order to take to school next week so we can edit them together. We'll use a LCD projector and the laptop so the students can see how the editing process works. Some of them get the editing concept and some are still struggling with the abstractness of what we're telling them we can do on the computer, so I think this is a hugely beneficial step in this collaborative process.

On another note, have I already mentioned that I successfully defended my Thesis Prospectus in early May? I did! My committee (Niklas Vollmer, Ted Friedman, Merrill Morris) brought up some fantastic additional resources and questions for me to consider throughout the project. Shows that the more people you include in the planning process, the better the project can be!
