Weeks 12-13

These past two weeks have been pretty straight forward for our project. We worked with a friend who does animation to try and create some simple animations to bring a little bit extra to our film and he was able to get us two great animations. We are still working with him throughout this coming weekend to get a couple more before it is due next week! Very thankful to have someone willing to help us since none of us are experienced in animation. As for editing, we almost have our final cut ready, but are still sorting out some aspects here and there, such as where we want to include certain b-roll and extra footage for more information about moonshine. We also have some small details in editing to work out. We are looking forward to having our final cut ready next week!

Weeks 10-11

These last two weeks have been all about communication for our group. We had to take a step back and try and sort through all of our schedules to try and find any times we could potentially film more for our film. With it being the end of the semester and all of us are graduating, it is difficult to try and prioritize our lives will all that is going on. With that being said, last Friday my group was able to get some extra footage to add in which will add a more light-hearted angle to the documentary. I unfortunately couldn't be there because I had to go out of town last minute, but they got pretty good footage. They had a handful of people sit down for mini interviews and take a shot of illegal moonshine and a shot of legal moonshine, getting facial and verbal reactions.
Me and Hannah also met with someone who is willing to help add some animations to our film, so we are just waiting through this weekend to see some of his first steps. As it seems we always do, Hannah and I had some minor editing problems while working on our cut which didn't let us get the cut we wanted, but we have set apart three separate times this coming week to really knock out a good edit and add some sound and color correction, as well as hopefully adding some of the animations.
I'm anxious for these last few weeks, but I know our group can come together to get the best possible film with what we have!
