The Home Stretch: From the Last Days of Collecting Assets to Audacity

So this is the last full week of classes this semester, and I'm still working on gathering all of my assets (particularly the photographs).  I will being going back to the Durham Performance Learning Center one last time on Wednesday morning in hopes of getting a few more shots of Samiha Khanna and T.C. Smith together.  I'm still crossing my fingers and hoping that I'll be able to talk to T.C. on Wednesday about meeting with her after school to get a couple photographs of her life as well.

I have pretty much all of the audio collected and edited at this point.  I learned the basics of editing in Audacity last week and was able to use that to create one overall audio piece.  We'd talked in class about how long editing audio can take, and that's one lesson I definitely have learned.  I'm kind of a pack rat of all sorts, so deciding which quotations to keep and which to get rid of was quite a task for me, let alone then having to organize the selected clips into some coherent order.  Professor Thornburg told me that the ideal length for this type of photo story is no more than three minutes, and right now I'm at three minutes and 40 seconds.  I still have some more cutting to do I suppose.

Start getting excited about finally seeing everyone's work posted on here soon!
