Words of Wisdom

Hi everyone it's me again, and I just wanted to tell you a bit more about the last project we did in class for Hiki No, and it's called Words of Wisdom. What we did was we interviewed Kasiah's mom, Katie Vercelli about her time in the Peace Corps, and got shots of her pictures of her time there. We had to ask her questions, and turn her answers into a story. It was hard with the four very opinionated people in our group, but we did it! It took a lot of team work, but eventually, and just in time, we got it finished, and it was a great experience even though we didn't win.

The words of wisdom we got from Auntie Katie were great. She told us to always follow our dreams, and to work hard and find a way to work your dream out. Her words of wisdom are so important because no matter what, your dream should come first. She tells us all about how she wanted her whole life to be a part of the Peace Corp, and when she met Uncle Jason, Kasiah's father, they went, and signed up, and say it's the best experience. Her advice is truly inspiring, don't you think?

Here is our video, and it is utterly fabulous, so you better watch it!!!

Five Tips For…

Hi everyone, today I want to tell you about a project we did a while ago, our first group project actually! What we did was a five tips video for Hiki No. My group, strange as ever, did a minute long video about how to friends with your cat. The reason we chose that topic is because it was really the best one out of group, and because it was pretty funny. We also chose this project because we thought we could get some pretty good B-Roll of it, seeing as I have two cats.

So what I think we definitely done better was choose our tips better. Maybe something a bit easier to get B-Roll for, instead of how not shaking your cat from it's tail is a very good idea. (Don't worry, we used a fake cat for most of the daring stunts.) We also could have had better filming, but who can blame us, it was one of first videos, so it's not as good as some of the newer ones! Overall, it was pretty good for our second official film project!

Well, for those of you who are incredibly interested in our fabulous kitty video, HERE IT IS!!!!!!!!!
