The weekend before I was able to get in one more interview with John Johr in Chicago. Not only did I get John Johr that weeknd, but the night before him I got the interview with Marco Bailey recorded as well in Detroit. That entire week was spent up all nights editing the interview (creating a storyline from 30 minutes of footage down to 7 minutes, one of the most painful feats ever), gathering broll footage and images for it for two videos. The goal was to have both of them finished before the final in class critique.

I also experienced issues with the fact that I was supposed to originally was supposed to use a desktop computer however, they did not have a wireless card. Overall, I encountered few issues setting up. On the website, I added a song page and added new photos I had happened to take the night before by chance, fixed the music player that was having issues just in time for the gallery opening.
