Last Friday was the latest interview in Politico's Inside Obama's Washington series. This time it was with White House budget director, Peter Orszag. The interview was conducted in one of the War Rooms in the Old Executive Office Building. This was the third "War Room" we've shot in. The shoot went well, but I made the mistake of telling the producer that I would send her approval copies before finishing the edit. The problem was that I forgot how long it takes to export preview copies. So I started editing in the afternoon, but didn't leave work until 11:30pm.

I've spent all this week editing the Legal Momentum video that I shot in NYC. It has been a long, labor intensive project, as all corporate videos are. Most of the video was pretty easy to edit, but one section has caused a ton of problems. It's a section about domestic violence, but we obviously can't show pictures of spousal abuse. The rest of the video I've been able to use generic shots of women when I didn't know what else to show, but I can't do that for this section. Finally, one of my co-workers had the idea to show closeups of a woman's hands doing domestic chores. So I shot some video of Kate washing dishes and making tea. It sort of worked, but we'll see what the client thinks. I hope they like it, because the video is suppose to be done early next week and I don't have anything else that I can use.
