The Kees to Kenya


IT IS FINALLY FINISHED!!


Pheww! I thought this project would never end. 4 weeks and countless hours later -- but not i can finally say im done. I have never created a movie before, let alone used a mac for that amount of time but I do believe i created a movie worth bragging about. Through this experience I have run into many technical/interpersonal problems but now that it is over, i have to say i am pretty impressed.


Kees, the girl we profiled, now has a video honoring the selflessness that her fellow peers admire in her; which i have to say is pretty cool. Profileing her was an experience I will never forget. She is the same age as I am yet embodies such matuirty and world knowledge - it really is inspiring just to be around such a bright and passionate person.


The editing portion of the assignment was definitely the hardest part. Kees's friend Michael was an easy person to interview and his delievery of how he came to be friends with Kees was electric. But the process of editing everything together, especially with a group of girls with 0 knowledge of how to run the software was quite a battle. But i am glad that i took a leadership role in our group because although it took a lot of work I did gain a lot of skills through doing it.

I guess its like Kees said, "Dont go with the flow, flow with the go."


Here is our video - I hope you like it : ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxBGkFSRjVg


Special thanks for Michael and Britney for letting us invade their lives!

  1. Woot Woot! We're finally done. We did a great job, but I have definitely developed a huge love/hatred relationship with iMovie after all this. I'm happy with the results and now we all have an experience with how to use iMovie. Go Keeesss!
