Allow me to introduce you to my other half: Sara Trout

Well, you said "have fun with this project", so I did. 
I live with an eclectic array of characters in the glorious Elm City.

Sara, my room mate and best friend of seven years, has visibly been hitting the bottle. However, it made her more relaxed in front of the camera, and more creative with her answers as to "what if you won the lottery". I originally had about six and a half minutes of her cackling into the camera about buying her mother 10,000 yorkies and hiring someone to take care of them. I love her dearly. 

Charlie, Saras boyfriend of forever and a day, hated the camera and I have about three minutes of him telling me how much he hated the camera. Thankfully, I remembered to cut out his sailor-like swearing and blind hatred for the paparazzi. You can also hear the cat meowing in the background which I refused to edit out, although I was requested to. I think it gives this step up from garbage a little something extra.

7-11 was not very pleased with me lugging around a tripod and camera at 7:30 in the morning, during their busiest time. A car bumped me out of the way because I was in front of the air pump. Really, this happened. Christian originally spoke for nearly a half an hour about the kinds of sneakers he would be purchasing if awarded a sum of 56 million. I stopped recording after the first 30 seconds and fell asleep behind my sunglasses.

He doesn't follow my blog, he won't be upset.

Editing came much easier to me, although I wish I had actual footage of people purchasing lottery tickets. I didn't want to use anything from the internet for fear that it would be blatantly obvious that I, in fact, do not know P.Diddy.
