April 11 - Bake Sale - 4 hrs
The weather was not favorable for baked goods. I think because it was so hot, many people disregarded our stand. If we sold cold drinks It would have been a major success. I think I made a wrong choice by baking cupcakes with icing. By the end of the day, the icing had melted so badly that it looked like water. I don't know what happened to the baked goods at the end of the day, because there was many leftover.
April 14 - Thursday Night Dinner - 4hrs
This was a pretty interesting night. First I had to leave class early, in order to transport Rebecca and Tyler to Dig and Dive. I had never been there so had no idea what to expect. I ate Jessica's left over quesadilla while talking to Ariel about her film. I then ate Adrienne's left over fries, and offered them to everyone else willing. Food wise, it was a success, because I spent no money. I then played volleyball outside with a number of staff and guest for the remainder of the evening. I learned that I could not serve. When I left, I had to transport Matt Stamm back to the hotel with Rebecca and we talked to him about how much he remembered about Wilmington.
April 15 - Visions - 13hrs
The big day began by transporting the Europeans to the campus, Charlotte, Dean and Vicky. I enjoyed their company even more, they even said my vehicle was similar to the type they drive in Europe, because it is a small hatchback. During the early portions of the festival I was operating the camera to get the introduction and the Q&A portion of Film Block 1. During the Keynote address one of the volunteers arrived so I was able to step out and help setup the room where we would conduct the interviews on campus. Zoe, Rob Carson and I setup the interview room, which included putting up the step and repeat, setting up the lights, camera and sound equipment. During the Lunch Break Zoe and I decided to use the time to try and conduct some interviews. We initially had 4 interviews in that time slot but were only able to complete 2. We heard that Bo left, so we saw this as only being behind one interview. We didn't conduct anymore interviews until during the dinner/dessert reception. Zoe managed to complete the rest of the interviews while I transferred files onto the hard drive, formatted the cards and charged batteries during the break. For the remainder of the festival I was running cards, batteries, and transferring cards for the camera operators, while doing odd jobs for other people.
- Afterparty 3hrs
As soon as I arrived to the after party there seemed to be issues with the instillation, so I offered to go search for a DVD that would play on the DVD player. I went to a few local places downtown but was unable to locate anyone who sold blank DVD-RWs. I felt kind of out of place out of the after party, because I'm not really a social person so I remained in the back room until the interviews started. After the awards were announced, Zoe began grabbing the recipients and we began conducting interviews. For the remainder of the after party I was operating the sound equipment.
April 16 - Saturday Brunch - 2hrs
The next morning a few of the staff members met with some of the guest and we had brunch at King Neptune's Restaurant.
Reflections
I am exhausted, and I feel I am starting to get sick, but I am certain that I am not the only one.
