When creating this news story there were many things that went right and wrong. I approached my friend Angel, who I have known for many years and asked him if i could do a story on him. My partner Diana and I wanted to show off his talent through this video and that is exactly what we did. We planned everything we wanted for the video, from the questions we were going to ask, to every shot. We got the idea to use a China ball for better lighting from Brian Lindenbaum and Tom Olivia, the cofounders of the All American High School Film Festival. When shooting the video the interviews kept getting pushed back because either he or his teacher couldn't make it. We worked through their busy schedule and we tried to get as much b-roll as possible but we couldn't. When editing the story we wanted it to be one of our best works because we wanted to give Angel something special. Although there were many things that went wrong we were proud of ourselves because the outcome was more than we had expected.
