Questionaire
Why did you get involved in this project?
Midi invited me and I was hesitant but I thought was going to be good for me during this time and it was.
Did the one week turn-around for the work help or hinder your creativity?
It worked for me.
How did you feel about working on a project where you didn’t know who you were collaborating with?
I love collaborations, I didn’t mind, I liked not knowing.
Has being involved in the project changed your thoughts on creativity?
As I’ve been away from producing for different reasons it allowed me to enjoy it and reminded me that I can be creative even though I am not doing arts as a full time job.
If you worked on several videos, what kept you coming back for more and how many did you do?
I did 3, it was fun, I like editing, I like playing while editing and doing sound. I came back as many times as I could without feeling stressed about it.
