Film Project 1
We were asked to film a production put on by the theatrical arts department to be held in the Sala De Madrid building. Jessie and I (Virginia) volunteered and it was a good show. We will be editing the footage to present a DVD to them. Anyone interested in helping with the editing please let me know.
The more projects we complete successfully the more exposure we attract for the department. Remember its not only the money but the experience!
We were paid for the project and the funds go to the media arts club for a special meeting.
Good Job!
