Fortune Cookie=High Hopes
BY LINDSEY BLACK, CHANDLER, ARIZONA, USA - The craziest thing happened tonight. After eating my orange chicken from Panda Express (I will miss my fast food), I opened my fortune cookie. Reading the words "You could prosper in the field of entertainment" could not have sunk in my mind even more how important this is to all of us. I dedicate it to the whole team. I know something big will come out of this project. Not that I am a lucky rabbit foot kind of person, but on top of that, my TV changed ALL by itself the other day to the Sundance channel! I don't pay for it on DirecTV, but I though it was crazy it would just change to an unused channel all by itself.
June 30th is sneaking up quick and I believe we all are feeling a whirlwind of emotions right now. I am so excited! I already started packing today. I fear forgetting something important so I thought I would get a jumpstart. I have been spending more time with my husband and kids which will just make it that much harder for the separation, but that much better for when I return.
My job will be editing and I have been paying very close attention to editing styles in any movie or TV show. The Zambia Nation has a different rhythm than here in the U.S. I am hoping to hear some music from their country so I can feel their rhythm of life. I believe this will help me find a good editing style that fits the Zambian people. I am not the only editor, so it will be fun to collaborate with the others and see what we come up with. Sometimes it is hard to fit different styles in together, but our group is pretty open minded and I believe we will come together without too much of a battle.
