Curve balls

  This week has been rather up in the air for my group. We did our vox pops last week and it was like slicing butter, quick and easy. We were in downtown Wilmington for maybe 30 minutes and had all the vox pops footage we needed. We had our interview scheduled and ready to go. Then this last Friday our interviewee told us she was sick and couldn't do the interview, so we rescheduled for Monday. Then, Monday, she told us she wasn't allowed to do an interview because of the company she worked for.
  Everything we had planned was in shambles and so were we. Scrambling we found a new interviewee and now we are ready to shoot our expert interview Friday. Hopefully it will be as smooth as our vox pops were.
