BOUTTE: Overall, I think the lip dub wasn’t the best but it also wasn’t the worst. I really liked how we highlighted exactly what the client wanted for the video which was to show more of what they classes did, and we did that in a creative way. Some ways that can be improved would be the abruptness, for started. The camera did not move as swiftly in transitions than in previous videos. Also, there were a lot of bland, kind of awkward looking parts that could’ve been filled in with a better partying atmosphere.

However, the most important part was promoting the Satellite Center and we accomplished that. Many mistakes from the previous years were made, such as people not knowing their lines.

The biggest challenge was the unfairness between the pm and am when planning the pre-production part. There were some instances where their side being picked was fair, however there were many where it wasn’t. I don’t think we ever overcame this challenge because it just kept happening everyday so we couldn’t get over it. Their walk through was picked, song, transition, did our beginning part and got to stay the whole day of filming when we couldn’t. I don’t believe it reflected in the video even though it didn’t feel like our project at all so I’m proud that we pushed through and still tried to make it our own the best we could. I did learn that I shouldn’t be too invested then in something that’s obviously not in my control at all, so that I don’t face later disappointments.

In the future, I don’t think it should be made as an “am vs pm” thing. It felt like a competition and a constant battle of losing and disconnection from the project. Instead, have them decide things in a cooperative way or at least make it even. The next advice I have would be to think out the box so that it can just keep getting better every year.
