Really proud of the way this video turned out! I wanted to practice using some high-grade gear with this one, so I picked up my own Rode VideoMic NTG and borrowed my friend Stephen's camera and memory card in order to step things up a bit. (hope to save up for my own camera soon).

I had to make a lot of tweaks to the script in the edit, and had to reshoot an entire section, but ended up building it into the video in an organic way that I felt made it better than it was originally. With my last video I was chasing perfection a little bit, but I learned a lot making it, and applied it here. This was by far the smoothest production (besides the reshoots) and edit process I had, and I think it turned out great. If you have any constructive feedback to share, please let me know in the comments, and thanks again for stopping by.
