my day spent at the Human Rights Campaign HQ in downtown DC provided some interesting challenges. The field crews were to spend the morning conducting man on the street interviews with people demonstrating at the Supreme Court. It proved to be a bonanza of people with different perspectives on the issue - some more rational than others, but all quite vocal. Unfortunately, the wealth of subject matter meant the editors didn't receive the footage until after 2pm. Between ingest and transcode, I couldn't even screen until close to 4pm. And by the time my out time arrived I had only completed the roughest string out. It always pains me to leave a job incomplete. After explaining how my project was set up and assuring the producer that they could call me at any time with with any questions, I left for the day feeling a bit disappointed and frustrated.
I am happy to have put in the time at HRC. I do admire their work and believe in what they do.
