Memphis... Still

I'm kind of caught in between right now... I am in a safe place, but I can't really move around and do anything. I'm starting to edit some of the videos, and so far am happy with what I'm seeing. No big tech problems, things like sound are good, so I should have enough to use. Since I'm just making this up as I go along, I don't really know how much I wanted to have anyway! I think though, that if I had 20 to 50 people, that would be good. On the other hand, many of the people I have talked to talked for more than 30 minutes, and it seems more convincing if you just listen to one persons story from start to finish, to really get a feel for what they've been through. That won't work so well on TV though. TV has taught us to make everything short and neat. Maybe I'll have each person introduce them selves, then cut between stories.. Since it was sort of the same event (or 2 storms, and several different areas affected)... This is kind of hard to start on until I have all of the interviews done, and can just start into it. I'm going to try and put some samples on the Blog if it will let me post video clips. I've seen others do it, so maybe I can, too... There is probably a limit to how much I can do for free!

I just found out I won't be doing a paid wedding here after all. This lady, Lori, who has been letting me camp on her couch, has a friend who is getting married end of this month. I was hoping I'd get to do the video for her wedding, which would have covered gas for getting home. Anyway, I just finally got an email back from the bride, saying they found someone local to do it. So now I'll have to think of some other ideas. Not too worried yet, right?!

When I'm ready to hit the road, I know it will work out. In the mean time, its not so bad to just sit still, rest, and recharge.

Stay Tooned!
