I am so excited! Meg found this article from the Cornell Daily Sun about students using Adderall. So I emailed the writers and they put me into contact with a student there who is perfect for our piece. I spoke with him today, and he seems really nice and very open. We're going to set up a filming date soon. We're currently trying to decide on different measures of hiding his identity. Should we disguise his voice? Just blur out his face? What kind of blur? Do that black shadow thing ABCNews loves?
I finished up most of the coding for the website. But then of course the internet went down. Luckily, I had everything backed up.
Other than that, the only other interview we have to get is Zach. We may get a local psychiatrist, but I really don't see the point. LeBron pretty much covered everything really well.
And we still need to do some b roll of Erin and Zach, a little of LeBron. Not sure what kind of b roll we'd get for anonymous though. We could probably stage something.

There are way too many baked goods in this house.
Wow, is it seriously October already? I feel like this semester is going both really fast and really slow at the same time... I didn't even realize that was possible.
We got our first (usable) shoot done. It went really well, Erin was great. I think in a lot of ways she portrays the "healthy" overachiever. She's stressed and taking on a lot, but she also has a great support system to back her up. I think her interview shows why it's important to be able to talk about emotions and mental health. Erin is in one of my classes, and the professor is awesome and is allowing us to film a bit while she gives a presentation on monarchies (it's a European politics class).
Meg and I should be traveling to Auburn this upcoming Friday to interview Zach, which will be a great addition. We're still waiting to hear from Lebron on when a good time to reshoot will be.
As for other b roll, we'll need stuff of everyone we interview. I've made a list of some more "generic" shots we can get too.
We were hoping to see if one of the composition students in Whalen would want to score our piece. If we get it done soon enough, we should be good. I think having that will be a nice touch to the piece.
