BattleOfTheBands/BandBash Documentary pt 5

Well, we had spring break last week, which wasn't so easy to deal with. Not everyone was available on the same days...only on Friday, so we tried to finish up our project. Darren brought his computer to Lisa's house, where we all met, and Lisa had all the footage and whatnot. We worked for about 5hrs over all that day, but the computer didn't want to download the footage onto the computer...for quiet a while. We plugged in the USB connection to Darren's computer, then Lisa's, and tried to find a way to make it work, but it didn't. About an hour or so later, we looked through the camera's menu, and found out that the USB stream was turned off...so we turned it on, and imported the footage,...or at least tried. On the program we were using, we needed Lisa's dad's password to be able to edit it, but unfortunately for us, he didn't want to give it to us by phone, so Lisa had to wait 'till he got back from work...at 6pm. Did I mention Lisa's dad didn't know Darren was a guy, and didn't want one in his house...so he had to leave early. A couple of days later, we met back at Lisa's house again, and finished editing it, and explaining things in out documentary, like who the bands were and whatnot. We added...interesting music, and put some things we edited out, way off topic, into the credits too. Another hard thing was dealing with Lisa's computer, it kept freezing, so we had to be turning it off, and back on again, which took a while. Well, the good thing is that we are done...i think/hope we did a good job...even though our video went pass the time limit required...(oops).
