Going Above and Beyond at Dot Com

Yesterday's shift was pretty exciting!! I learned how to create an extra video for the web extra. Since Mallory, my dot com buddy, came down with a nasty food poisoning, I held down the fort with Kristin. Fortunately, things weren't too busy so I decided to create an extended interview for one of the reporters' story. He interviewed 6 kids for the Souper Bowl story and had extra bites and giggles that deserved to be heard. And why waste them, right?

I took snip-its of the interviews and compiled them so the bites alone tell the story. The toughest part of my night was putting the supers with the interviews... I created them on Photoshop and saved all 6 of them the same way, but only one of them worked. So after MANY, MANY tries, I went back to that file and saved over it--5 different times--one for each kid. I'm sure there's an easier way to do this, but I was desperate...

Even though it took me over 3 hours to do all that, it was actually FUN, and I hope viewers actually go to our site to watch it because they are super cute!! Can't wait to learn more about the world of web!
