"Do you want to know the #1 reason women get breast impants?"

Things are moving along in our attempt at documenting the "Beautification" of Western humans.  So far we've logged about half of our tapes, 8 of 16.  And, we've created a simple, rough, teaser for class today.  In going through our footage together, we find that there are moments in our interviews of absolute brilliance and revelation into our topic.  Things that make us look at each other and say, "WOW, that is powerful".  Its these instances that help us to push forward in the hope that we'll create a good film.  

We've noticed that the playback decks don't communicate well with our version of Final Cut.  It works, but the deck doesn't always follow orders.  This may be due to our settings, but it may not.  We're continuing to work on the issue.  

Last weekend Tin had the opportunity of capturing some amazing footage of a liposuction and fat transfer surgery!!  Our contact, Dr. J, has been nice enough to invite us into his clinic repeatedly to get an inside look and what goes on there.  He was able to get a pre-op interview with a patient, and tape her surgery as well.  I must say, its some amazing footage.  The visuals are enough to get you, but the fact that Dr. J is talking about "Beautification" the whole time he's working is even better!  He even gives a play-by-play of what it is he's doing.  

Even though things are starting to come together, we still have a long way to go.   Stay tuned folks!!!
