So at the beginning of second semester I had an interview set up with a holocaust survivor, who survived six camps. I called him a couple days before the interview and unfortunately he said I could no longer interview him. I was stuck, I was so excited for this interview and hadn't really come up with a Plan B. From this I learned to ALWAYS have a back up plan, or two, or three. I sat at my computer frustrated and far from creatively thinking. I honestly thought I wasn't going to have a project. I am the type of person who constantly has to be doing something. After a few deep breaths and thinking through possible topic ideas it hit me. My favorite musical artist, Drew Chadwick, had come out with a new song two days earlier. The thought of a music video came right to mind. Going into it, I'd never made a music video before, but I always thought it'd be cool to do, and why not? I've got the opportunity, I'll take it! I went to Castlewood State Park right after school that day and started getting footage; still shots, pans, and lots of me running. I got a good workout that day! I tweeted Drew and he gave me the okay to use the song, so I was thrilled! I am still currently working on it, and learning how to edit a music video! I am really happy with how it is coming along, and can't wait for the final product, and for Drew to hopefully see it too!
