The Game is Sustain


1. What was the most difficult moment in making this video?
Finding a common time that everyone could get together and film this. We all had very conflicting schedules, or previous weekend commitments that we couldn't get out of. When we did have time to get together it was usually quick, and sometimes not all of us could be there, so we worked really well catching other group members up to speed.

2. Other than finishing it, what was the most rewarding moment in making this video?
The process of planning it. We all had a lot of ideas that we bounced around, and we worked really well building off of each other to reach the final product. We had a lot of laughs in the planning process.

3. Discuss 3 specific lessons you learned about film production and/or "group process" in making this video?
I learned that you really need good whether, and waiting around for it is mindless. In terms of production, it's very important to make sure the set is as quiet as possible, because the sound editing is very difficult to make right. In terms of working with a group, I learned that if you take the time to hear everyones ideas, and dont rush into one idea, your final product will be so much better.

4. Discuss 3 specific things you learned about Champlain College and/or the "Sustain Champlain" project that you did not know before completing this project?
I learned a lot about Champlain by doing this video. I had no idea that we had the low flow shower heads, that I could get my coffee for cheeper, or that the motion censored lighting was so common throughout the entire campus.
