Allie and I had a great experience in making this video. Allie and I discovered that we work extremely well together, considering she is great in front of the camera but has a shaky hand, and I am horrible in front of the camera but have a very steady hand. Also, she loves to interview people and I am better at finding good angles. We also work really well together when coming up with an outline for how our story within the video should be set up.
We came up with the idea of going to Loose Threads because it is a new local business and Allie knows the owner. We got great, interactive sources so it worked out really well. We got a ton of b-roll of everything and anything while in the shop, so we had a ton of shots to choose from when making our video.
Our process was to go through all of the different shots (we had 50 short separate films) and write a description about each so that we knew what we had. After, we came up with an outline about the shots we wanted and picked them from our list of shots. Then we figured out where we needed voice overs, and recorded them.
The hole in our story was the transition from talking about why Laura opened the business in Bethlehem and the store's style to the Lehigh fashion show. For that, Allie recorded a voiceover as a transition.
Overall, it took us a very long time to edit and put together this video, but it worked out well.
