I immediately knew that for this choice project I wanted to make an ABC video! It took me a while to figure out how I would do this, but I eventually came up with this idea to interact with some of my friends and peers. I asked 26 people to write a single letter on a card, however they wanted. Some people went all out, and others stuck with a simple style. I enjoyed seeing how everyone took this task and made it their own; many people's letters are very reflective of their personality. It was also fun to see how people reacted differently to being filmed, which you can see briefly in this video. I had a lot of fun filming this, and am pleased to have come up with an idea that made this project interactive with my friends and classmates.
5x5 - Mac & Cheese
For my 5 by 5, I wanted to capture a process incredibly familiar to me. The very first idea I came up with was: Mac & Cheese! After many times making this fan-favorite, I have completely memorized each and every step. I chose my favorite, Annie's shells and white cheddar, to be the star of the show. Shrinking down the process to only 5 clips did not capture every last detail, but does show the process from start to finish in a rather cohesive way. I tried to incorporate different angles into the filming process, and include music that is reflective of the joy Annie's brings to so many. I can only imagine that mac and cheese has been consumed by nearly every person watching, and I hope that you too have a love for this food :)
