My story is coming along great. Everything from interviews to visuals is now running smoothly. I guess I am still a bit nervous since I am doing a video. I just want the video and story to be compelling and hope it’s received well. I want the video to be just as compelling as the pictures and words, because I really want this piece to reach out to as many families as possible.
Overall I am excited about the piece and excited about the video. Again, I just want this to be a compelling story.
