Video Project "reification"

The labor portion of my project took me forever. Finding all the pictures to use and sorting through them to see which ones would work best made me feel like the project was never going to end. Then after putting the right pictures with what I was saying took some time, but the worst part was once I added all of the video transitions the timing was all off. I had to go back through and change it all again. I never got the opportunity to film my own team (obviously I was playing...) Although I did get a chance to film the men's team. The verbal portion didn't take that long to say to gab cast, but figuring out what I am going to say was another story... It was extremely hard to get started, it seemed to pick up once I got the intro done. I realized when doing my project that the rugby affinity group would truly appreciate my project. I think I was able to bring other affinity groups together in my project by making the main focus on working hard and good things will happen (I felt everyone could some how relate to that!) Picking my music was a challenging, I settled with Jack Johnson. Although it doesn't seem like the right music for a sports themed video, I felt the Eye of the tiger has definitely been overplayed!!
