More Happiness.


I convinced the computer to work!

I am finishing the rest of my interviews over the next week or so. Then begins the extensive editing process. Whoo!

Video Fail

I spent four hours late last night editing the video. Only for the blog to tell me it's "too large." I don't have time to figure that out before class, but in the meantime, here's a short clip!

Stupid blog.


Not even sure if this worked. But here it is! Hannah is a Children's Librarian at Miles City Public Library.

Happiness and Stuff




Obviously, this video is a work in progress. I have decided to interview people from Miles City and the surrounding area, which is where I grew up. I find it interesting to think of how a rural setting can influence one's ideas of "happiness" and "jobs". The brunt of my interviews will be taking place this upcoming weekend when I go home. I have arranged video interviews with:

Debbie Phelps: Custer County District High School Counseling Center Secretary
Natalee Phelps: Barista at Unique Creations, Photographer
Birch Drew: Walmart Assistant Manager, Photographer
Hannah Nash: Children's Librarian, Miles City Public Library
Scott Elder: Owner, Great Grains Health Food Store
Geneal Bott: Stockman Bank Secretary
Debbie Smith: Owner, Gone to Seed
Drew Smith: Seasonal Construction, Traveler
Lewis Carlyle: 5-year-old Kindergarten student, Seasonal Iron Man
John Wilhelm: Retired Mechanic
Tracey Gierke: Co-Owner, Blue Moon Casino, Silver Star Casino
Delbert Moore: Professional Cowboy, CT Feeders
Cody Weyerbacher: Owner, Weyerbacher Farms and CT Feeders
Toni Weyerbacher: Stay-at-Home Mom


I think these interviews will prove to be incredibly enlightening. I know the video editing will take a lot of time, but I truly think that this project is best illustrated in video format.

P.S. The slight joke concerning academic papers and Kirk's name was meant to be funny. Not offensive.
