Richard, Phil and I shot this piece for the last project in Multimedia Storytelling.
Idea generation has always been a weakness of mine, and that step proved to be the trickiest for us. At one point I had a list of eight or ten story ideas, and they all ended up tanking.
During the week before our rough edit was done, we decided to work with women involved with a crisis pregnancy center. A few days before the edit was due, the sources bailed on us. Cool. Our fall-back plan was the Seeds of Change-sponsored barefoot march. It ended up being a better story than the pregnancy center one, thought not particularly newsworthy. Eh.
The bulk of the time I devoted to the project was editing and learning flash. The flash template is a bit…simplistic, but I had never used flash before this project. I learned enough to barely pull it off.
It’s nice to have team members to pick up the slack. Being a one man team is rough.
Forming the idea and getting the initial contacts made were still the toughest parts for me, though.
It’s done. Insert sigh of relief (here.)

Hey Justin,
I think you’ve managed to pull it off pretty well. I just documented a summer screen print show that we did at school, and this is exactly the kind of stuff I am thinking about doing. I may need some or alot of help from you, that is if you don’t mind though…..
Great work!
