Represent

My girlfriend Alexis has been dancing virtually everytime I tell her that I'm not so happy to be in Vegas. I am now doing the happy "I told you so" dance since I was right about the map in the open having it's own beat in the Teamster video, and Jeffrey's initial plan of a gavel coming out of a box, cutting into this footage is now out.

We are putting all the gavel shots at the end of the peice to segue into the gavel's live arrival onto stage. 40 Teamsters will hand it down to the guy who is calling the convention to order.

Another fun part of my job here producing, was interviewing Teamster's as to why they are here at the convention, and what does it mean to them. I met some really cool people and I found out that there is an LGBT Caucus in the house! At first they wouldn't talk to me- they were shy and afraid to speak on camera, I coaxed them into speaking and they were great! I am going to put them in the closing video-gotta represent!

So now I want to follow my father's footsteps and be a teamster, something I thought I'd never say. Hilmer, who know feels more like a brother than a work mate, joked about sweat shops and long hours spent editing. I've joked about this many times before...I guess I still find the joke funny -we do get obsessed with frames here in this little edit suite!
