Week 2 - Done!

Whew! Believe it or not, I am STILL breathing after an extremely intense second week of camp. Boy, I have not worked this hard in a while. Luckily, I have a fantastic staff that has been nothing but incredible over the past few days.

All this week, our 'campers' were filming their projects. They would start the morning off by going 'on location' with cameras, equipment, and a video mentor who would help them and guide them on their filmmaking journey. From there, the kids came inside to begin editing their projects with their editing mentors.

I have truly been blown away by the quality of ALL the kids' films. This is mainly because we have had such fantastic video and editing mentors helping us out, all of whom specialize in different areas in the industry. One of our editors works for WISN 12, while another is a master at Photoshop. Oh yeah, and one of them is an Emmy award winner. Pretty crazy, eh? Andy Jensen (our editing mentor) brought in his Emmy to share with the camp, and needless to say, it was a HIT!



It sure would be nice to own a golden lady someday. For now, it's just a dream...but hopefully I'll be able to make it a reality sooner than later.

Only a few days remain in the camp, and now, it's the moment we've all been building up to. This coming week will be our Red Carpet Movie Premiere, where the kids will have a chance to screen their films before a LIVE audience. Fingers crossed all goes well.

For now, I have some work to do! :) Check out some pictures below of our trip to SUMMERFEST that we took yesterday to celebrate the end of our second week!
