Videos!

Found: this whole experience started when smith asked if anybody wanted to participate in the big 72 contest. So Claire, Ruth, Haley, and I all wanted to work on it. I have never really worked with video before so I was eager to try it out. We faced a lot of problems, with it being Crystal's birthday on Friday and sadie on Saturday night, it was hard finding time to shoot all the scenes. The requirements for the video were that it had to be under three minutes, have a cell phone showing the date, and the theme was found. Our original idea was to have someone searching for the perfect birthday present before the person's birthday party. However we felt it would be too difficult so we decided to do a story that was based off the Cinderella story. We began by shooting all the scenes that were in her workplace. We used the el Tigre cafe room across the hall for this. For the slippers we used Claire's swag shoes which provided us with our twist. We faced some problems when had to shoot some scenes at sadie. We needed to get Haley and Travis dancing as well as Haley loosing her shoe. This was a lot harder than we all thought it would be. There were so many people around and they would walk through our shots. But we did get in done in the end. When we were actually making the video, we have to "glitter a few terds" from the dance footage but in the end it was pretty good for everybody's first time doing a video. When we were at ATPI and they announced 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, we were all disappointed. But then they said, "now to announce the best in show." everyone just froze and waited. When they said that Texas high had won we went a little crazy. We were all very excited that we won and that all out hard work paid off.
