We go together...like...rama lama lama lama...

Teamwork is essential for any project to run smoothly. This week, work on the project was smooth sailing. Interviewees made scheduled times, John and I both attended the shoot days and our reporting styles completely clicked.
I was a bit apprehensive at first, being a person who often gets screwed over during group projects, but my fears and anticipation for disaster faded away this week. John has been absolutely, 100 percent dedicated to the project. Although the two of us both have crazy schedules, jammed packed with upper level journalism classes, jobs and internships, we have been able to swing it so we can both be at shoot days.
Having an active partnership while working on this final package has definitely been beneficial. John and I both are creative people and we feed off of each other. For example, we were conducting an interview with Danielle Garcia, one of the co-captains of the Columbia softball club and I truly believe that having the both of us there made the interview ten times better. As soon as I finished my round of questions, John jumped in and asked fantastic follow-up questions that have tremendously added to our piece.
We both have visions for b-roll, but we are compromising, combining our ideas and have shot some fantastic stuff, because of it. I am beyond excited about our package and I cannot wait to see our visions come to life on the small screen.
