For my final project everything that could have gone wrong went wrong, thanks Murphy's Law. From a camera that stopped recording by itself to my USB corrupting, becoming unrecogniazable, and losing all my footage. Don't ya just love technology? Always backup your work kids, then back up your backup!

We're going to live on a school bus when we graduate and drive around the country making short explainer videos for startups and small businesses to use for Kickstarter campaigns, business competitions, and on their company websites. We know a thing or two about crowdfunding campaigns too. Our Indiegogo campaign...

My story is about the mental world of a transgender. He found he would like to be a girl in his childhood. But people surround him teased him, which made him starts to have mental problem.
