  1. I enjoyed being able to farther explore your influences. The Storycorps site is incredible, I got sucked in and just listened to about three pages of them. From these I think you should be able to pick a solid way you'd like to lead your interview and present it.
    I mentioned in class about the class I know Penn State had offered for students that had been in the military, in case you were interested in looking into it here's a link.

  2. I like the middle video called My War, My Story! I liked the beginning how he told a story and showed different shots and zoomed in on old pictures. One thing I didn't like in the video (I didn't watch all of it) was where people were being interviewed and the backgrounds just sucked! I doubt you'd choose a lame background because you seem to really think about your angles and shots but just in case I figured I'd mention that! haha I'm excited to hear your Dad's story!
