You've done a wonderful job. I know Cam has a couple of suggestions for tightening the editing, so I'll leave those to him. My only comment is that the fade out on voices is way extreme. I don't think it needs to be there at all. In every case, we lose the most important words. If anyone talked like that, we'd go nuts...so it's equally unnatural here. Let the voices remain strong.
It is hard for me to watch your video. I believe I am too close to the story, which is no story at all, rather harsh reality. I only wish your title were true, that this was just a story and that it only took a small piece of you. However, I know better. You are brave and strong to share your feelings and your "story". I will not watch the video again, as it is hard for a mother to know of her child's pain and not be able to make it go away. But alwasy know I am biggest supporter and fan.
Britt, I thought I was done crying about everything that happened, but you make it so 'real' like it was just yesterday by retelling your story. I can't believe it's been three years. Love you. Thanks for sharing.
"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat." - Teddy Roosevelt
me with Steven Tyler
For the third annual Justin Rollins motorcycle memorial ride, Steven Tyler came to wave us on.
I just graduated from the University of New Hampshire with a degree in English/Journalism with a minor in Political Science. I recently finished my internship with The Enterprise out of Brockton, MA, which was very challenging but gratifying. At The Enterprise I started playing around with multimedia to go along with my stories, I'm no expert but I have some experience.
As a journalist I enjoy covering military and veteran affairs. I hope to one day work within the military as a journalist or work for a publication like Stars and Stripes.
Britt,
