POM Tea


Making this video was marital hell. First try was with an HD Camcorder which my outdated computer would not recognize. Rooster and I worked on it for 6 hours on Saturday. When it didn't upload, I sulked for the rest of the night. The whole point of being an organized complusive person is to keep things running smoothly. My mental stability suffers when plans fail.

Try two was with our still camera's video feature. Everything was good, but Rooster tilted the viewer vertically for the slushy shot and we had to re-shoot using water-ice, not POM-ice. The slush was not the same. I tried hard not to remind Rooster that I had told him earlier not to tilt the camera. Again, failure. This time, it was Rooster's mental stability that suffered

Come time to upload and edit, Rooster did his best to meet my demands: transitions, titles, and music. One out of three ain't bad. We were proud parents until we saw the competition. Damn tech-savvy 20-somethings.
