Eventful weekend

This blog is a couple days after the fact from when I wanted to post this, but I never had the opportunity. Please read this as if I posted it last weekend.

So I almost lost all my footage this weekend, all due to stupid mistakes by yours truly. I accidentally put my tape through the washing machine, rendering my tape unwatchable (and almost ruining the camera itself seeing if the tape was watchable). After baking the tape in the sun for several hours and placing a fan up to the opened camera, I was able to save both with no problems. Talk about countering stupidity with ingenuity. It's what I do best.

So besides that, the project has been going well. The interviews I got were really spot on with what I was looking for, with Jay and Lorne's especially being informative. Both are also very comfortable speaking in front of the camera, which makes for more enjoyable footage to watch. They go beyond the rhetoric answers and really delve into why spiritually they do the things they do on the oval and why they believe what they do. It's been really enjoyable editing their portions of the video. Not that the other interviews weren't good, but Jay and Lorne's really hit home.
