Blog 6, 7, and 8

I forgot to do some of my blogs so I am going to combine 3 of the last blogs together. Make it easier to make one long blog.
The thursaday before spring break we had our last shoot at Brother Bennos. We were there for 6 hours (a very long day) but accomplished everything we needed. We did run into some problems but overall we got what we needed. That tuesday during spring break, shaun and I met up at school and captured the last bit of footage we had. We we all returned from spring break, we went into full blown editing to get this piece done.
We all pitched in during the editing and making all the graphics, lower thirds, and making the video flow. We sat around and figured what parts of the interview we wanted in the video and what we wanted to hit on from what mary told us she wanted. Throughour the weeks we presented our working in prgress to class and took in their suggests as well as Kristines.
On April 26th, we went to Brother Bennos to show Mary our piece and she loved it. She did get a little teary eyed. Another volunteer was there to view it too. Mary said she loved the video but wanted us to do some changes on it. We had to take the little boy out because we didnt get a written yes only a verbal yes. We had to adhust pelons interview but other then that she loved it. She like the song we picked too.
I emailed Mary let her know that we made the changes and that everything was well and that we finished the video. On May 4th in class we made the cds and burned them and figured out what we were gunna say at the screening. She said that she is very excited to see the finish product and that she will be bringing Pelon.
Over all this was a great experience I got to take. I will always remember this class and this experience I had, especially when i first walked into brother bennos the first time back in Februry!! I couldnt have asked for a better group. We all worked very well together and brought a different eye and aspect to this project from day one. We all had different visionaries, which made this project work. We worked with a great organization and great person (mary). I would love to do something like this again and do something great for an organiztion that does something great everyday.
