Merry Christmas!

Well we've wrapped up our film projects and will be putting a bow on the final products this week! Its been such a great learning experience and I must say I'm very proud of what we've created.

I personally learned alot about both film and the Army through our project and am proud to have been a part of this.

I hope that everyone on our team, in our class and especially the 1-4 ARB soliders in Iraq and Ft. Hood have a very Merry Christmas and a great New Year!

Merry Christmas,

well the project has been turned in and it came out better than i could have ever hoped for. I know that I didnt do as much as the other members but im still proud of the project. i am hoping that when this gets into your possesion that you will be thrilled to see whats going on here at home. how people are staying busy and keeping themselves occupied. i wouldnt say that any of the projects are better than the others by any means, because they cant really be compared. they all bring something totally different yet similar to the table for your viewing pleasure. we didnt get to see them all last week but i think we will finish them up this week and im way excited. i know that one of the groups is like 15 mins long and im looking forward to that one; to see how much they got and how detailed their information is. i think all the projects are above and beyond any expectations that we could have ever imagined, especially since very few of us had any film experience coming into this class.

ITS BEGINNING TO LOOK ALOT LIKE CHRISTMAS!

Hi All,

Just wanted to post while I had a chance! This semester is almost complete except for a few finals! I'd have to say, no sucking up involved I swear, that my favorite class I've ever taken throughout my college career has been this one! I loved doing this project and it opened my eyes to not only what I want to do in my career but also helped my learn so much about the people around me and even those who aren't here everyday like the people we did this project for fighting for us!

I just had a close friend get to come home for 2 days from Italy, but was also in Afghanistan, who is also in a Airborne part of the Army and is now being relocated to North Carolina. I spent the last two days with him talking about everything he's gone through and its AMAZING what the people in the forces do for us. He has seen everything there is to see and has been through it all and he never has one negative thing to say! He's just so proud of what he is doing, as he should be, and never wants to quit doing what he does to help our country. I hope he enjoyes N. Carolina and continuing to jump out of planes! Crazyness!

I hope I get another chance to do a project like this because I feel like it has more impact on what I want to do as my future career and more hands on experience than any other class im required to take. I truly hope everyone enjoys our class video we produced!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!

well its almost time for this project to be done, and its a relief to not have to have this hanging over our heads any longer. Im also very thrilled to get a progress report later in the semester or early next about how it was received...im sure that it will be met with nothing but kind words, we worked very hard on this project and as this semester comes to an end it will be nice to get some "rest" for a while. With our holiday just having ended Im sure some of us got a small taste of what "rest" is like and are more than ready to get some for once. it will be a nice, much needed change of pace from work, school, and whatever else we have going on.

Through our project and getting small glimpses into other groups I have become much more aware of what our men and women in the forces go through when they are away and a better understanding of everything they miss. I am eternally greatful of everyone that does what you all are doing. It takes more courage than I could ever muster up.

Finally

Its been one crazy semster and I've finally gotten a chance to get on a computer and post! I hope everyone had a wonderful turkey day! I participated in the 5 mile Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving ( and am still sore!) and had a great time! It's amazing how many people you see supporting our troops at any and all events, its awesome! Christmas is just around the corner and I cant wait to share it with the people closest to me!

In other news I, as well as almost everyone else unless your a sooner, think that UT so should have been number 2 and we got hosed! I just had to get that out! Im sure we still have a chance at other great things though, but hopefully the BCS will be no more soon!

I've had a great time doing this project this semester and look forward to hopefully doing more just like it! It's been an "eye opener" to actually learn and see so many things dealing with the army, Ft. Hood, and just our wonderful troops in general! I now have an even more greater appreciation for what ya'll do for every one of us and you deserve all the respect in the world! I hope everyone enjoys our project this Christmas because it was a joy to make!

Hook Em,

Brianna
