Our school secretary let me know about a great experience one of our teachers had. She went to an open casting for Biggest Loser season 10 and got picked top 40 out of 950+. Catherine Fletcher is our Life Skills teacher that I had never had any length of conversation with. I saw her in passing, but never slowed down to discover what an amazing person she was. The secretary asked if I wouldn't mind helping her with an audition video since I had experience editing. I whole heartedly agreed not thinking how much work was really involved.
I teach Theatre and when I took my position at my current school, the principal also asked me to teach broadcasting. I had no experience other than a claymation class I took for an inservice hour. I feel inadequate and was nervous about my skills, but offered help to Catherine if I was needed. I was needed.
Our staff jumped in and really helped out with ideas and their time to help Catherine with her video. I was getting some great footage. I tried to put it together as fast as I got it. Once I had nearly everything, I edited a 12 minute video and was beyond proud. I felt good, life was good, and I was relieved.
Then, I got approximately 3 more hours of footage. I nearly had a panic attack. In total, I had over 4.5 hours of footage. Thank goodness my husband is great at everything. He helped me adjust sound, transitions, cutting, etc.

42 hours of editing and I was finished. It turned out great and I am so thankful through this experience I made two great friends.
