After the hectic week that Aidan and I had last week, we are back on our original schedule. This week we collected some interviews from the kulr 8 website for our video. You may be thinking, why the heck would they need interviews for a highlight film? The reason we need these interviews is because before we played Laurel, many of their players said that the first game was a fluke and that they wanted to play us again. The funny thing about that is that we beat them 35-7 in the title game. So let me ask you, did they really want us? I think not. Next week we will work on adding these interviews into our highlight film to add a comical effect in the film. Our long term goal is to get all the extra film in the video in the next two weeks. This will include the celebration, fire truck ride, and banner unveiling. We believe that these things will add a lot to the video. I will let you know how this goes!

This week was insanely hard for Aidan and I. As you know, we are creating a highlight reel for the season, and we're supposed to have 8 weeks to do it. Last week, Coach Regan texted us and asked if we could finish a film for the upcoming end of the season awards banquet on Sunday. Pressed for time, we worked tirelessly all week to get the film done. This included watching every play of every game, which took about 5 hours between the two of us. Then, we had to add all of those plays to the program we were using. This took another 5 hours.  Then came the frustrating part. After all that work, Aidan's computer and the program couldn't function with all the information entered into it. We went to the high school to see if we could enter it into one of those computers, but it didn't work as all the information was on Aidan's computer. We tried to use a flash drive to transfer the plays, but the program said we would have to start all over if we did. The banquet was i...

Hello Everyone! For this Genius hour project Aidan and I have decided to create a highlight film to commemorate our State Championship run. We will collect highlights, combine and edit them, and then ultimately put them together with music. Our plan is to then burn the film on to discs and distribute them to our teammates so they too can look back and remember all the memories we made together. In the first week, we created a group chat for our teammates to comment their best plays in. We believe that once we have all the plays picked out, most of our project will be spent editing them. We have also brainstormed some songs that we wanted in there. Songs like "No Sleep Till Brooklyn" by the Beastie Boys and "Kickstart My Heart" by Motley Crue are two great choices football films, and they will bring back memories for many guys as we listened to these songs everyday in lifting. Our next move is to put all the highlight films into categories such as big hits, long ...
