6-6:30: Assignment 3 review.

Let’s check out your videos! Show and tell. As we watch, I want to teams to think of these questions:
1) What did you try that worked really well?
2) What completely failed? What would you avoid in the future to prevent that from happening again?
3) What would you like to have shot or done that you didn’t have time for?
