Here is another shot at this assignment. As is, I'm worried that the story is a bit dry-- it was the second time it was told to me. However, I hope that working to edit in details from the follow up questions I asked will add some more interest.

A Few Gray Memories: Caleb Moss

This was very difficult for me because I had to get more information from cousin. Not only did this require me going home but for her to also open up and be willing to interview again. I called my cousin this past Wednesday to see if she'd be willing to interview again and unfortunately she wasn't up to it (I believe it was due to the topic in which she as being interviewed).

So instead of returning home with an interview that was bound to happen I decided to edit the previously recorded interview.

Any suggestions on what to do next?

The Grass Is Always Greener

I went in a totally different direction with this iteration. I feel pretty good about this second draft, but think there's still something missing that I can't quite seem to put my finger on. Thoughts?

Kerrytown Co-ops: Under the Purple Pines

I had a tough time narrowing down the most interesting/ most explanatory comments for each co-ops description, but this is what I've got so far.

I would wish that I had the time to fit in some ending clips that show how much each co-op really values living and working together, but I just can't seem to be able to fit that in under the time limit.

 Do you think this piece needs some introductory narration?  Are you confused about the subject?
Are you getting a good sense of the general mood of these houses/ do you find them interesting?

Beautiful Gray Neighbor Bob

Summer Blackout Second Rough Draft

Green Monopoly Mulholland Houses

Hey all, So I decided to change my subject for this assignment, the other person I interviewed for my first draft ended up not being a story I wanted to pursue. This "re-up" is longer than 3 minutes, and I feel that it could be cut down significantly. What should I cut out? Do you want to hear more about the neighbors or are you content with just hearing the two speakers stories about the block they lived on/re-worked houses on? Thanks, see everyone on Monday.
