Checkin' Out Footage

Mario and I have been viewing the footage from the NJ trip gettin ready for dailies on Wednesday. Overall the footage looks good. Initially I was worried about the content because everything happened so fast, but I fell I got what I could. Some difficulties came along because Jason hadn't seen some of the people I was hoping to interview in some time, so some precious time was spent catching up but it's to be expected. Being a perfectionist I originally saw the footage and imagined all the changed I would have made, but don't we all..Now that we've logged and captured all of our footage and compiled a dailies tape I'm happier than I suspected. We have so much footage, and it all can't be wonderful, but what I'm beginning to realize is that we have choices. When I say choices I mean so much to choose from to create the Jason's story. We've still got two interviews left to tape which will happen Monday December 3rd. We'll be interviewing two of UNCW's psychology professor's who specialized in traumatic brain injury and memory loss, I feel their testimonies will be the backup this film needs. We've already met in person with one of the professors and I must say so much is explained through his knowledge. If only I was going to be here for another semester, then I'd have another 4 months to edit this documentary into what I have been visualizing all year.

you've gotta keep coming to visit and show me how its going. i can't wait to see it all come together. the footage last night was amazing. i was really proud of how well you did (especially with a one man crew!). content and shooting - you pushed it hard and it payed off. its difficult to ask some of the harder questions, but you did it, and you're getting your story. go Kaitlyn!
