Jumping over hurdles

     Ok, so I am very mentally motivated to make this show happen. But I guess when you do something for the first time, you have something specific in mind. I keep waiting for the perfect weather, the perfect day, and then I still have a lot of research to do about my camera and learning to film and where we will shoot. I have to match up schedules with my friend Taji who is supposed to help show me the south side of Chicago and it is proving to be difficult as well. They are all small hurdles I need to jump over. 

     With Thanksgiving barely behind, I am trying to fight off my hibernation mode and continue to stay active and motivated on this project. Its not that I am not motivated. But there are so many things that need to be done it can be easy to get discouraged. Since this is something I have never done before, I'm sure there will be many mess-ups and things I will learn along the way. I don't want to put a ton of pressure on myself to get it all filmed in one day and perfect the first time. I was thinking three or four different times of filming down on the South Side and maybe a couple up north. But I will want it to look like one collective continuous video instead of broken bits and pieces that are very noticeable due to change of clothing and weather. Although it will be snowy and we won't see the sun for the next six months, so that may help the different videos to look the same. So I definitely have a lot to think about and a lot to figure out!!
