Filming First Interviews

 Hey guys, welcome back and happy Friday. Today, I want to share the experience of our first real filming session. This has been pushed back a little but for good reason. Now that we have started, we are working fast and getting a lot of things done. 

Today, we had planned on filming Javier. We went over to his office, but when we got there, Javier (Isabella's dad) had to go to a work dinner so he had to go pretty quickly. Since we were there, we decided to do the next best thing film Isabella's interview. We were already there and weren't going to waste a good filming session so we went ahead and got to work.


It started off a little bit rough because Isabella was nervous, but once we got going, she was great and spoke from the heart. Below, you can see a minute long video of the filming process (shhhhhh it's a sneak peak so don't tell anyone): 


We also had a great time filming this. It was really fun and we had some good laughs. Here are some pictures I took of the filming experience and one video of us having fun with the project: 




Another thing that I did with Isabella to help her get on track was go over her lines with her. She was frustrated with it not coming out right so I went over her lines with her and helped her make what she was trying to say come out smooth. Here I have a picture of me doing that: 

Now that it is spring break, we will have more time to plan for our project. We were able to film a lot of this today, but we still have a lot to do. We are leaving for vacation tomorrow so we will use this time to relax and plan for when we get back. We are on crunch time right now because we don't have much time left, so we have to use all the time that is given to us until the due date. 

This filming process has been fun and we are looking forward to seeing this project come together when we finish filming. We have worked really hard on this and thought a lot of things through, so we are excited to see the finished result and to show you guys as well.

Thank you guys so much and I will see you next week. I hope you have a great weekend !
