all contributed their time and energy into making this set up a breeze. They took about an hour or so to take out the stands, unwrap the green screen, and then work with the actress to help make her scenes comes to life. Michael Vasquez did a great job of directing Jessica in what he was looking for in every scene.

The crew worked hard to help ensure that they got what they were looking for, including a few other shots that they could use for other work later on. Jessica did a great job of working under the hot lights and changing into different outfits throughout.

The group worked on preparing their short for about 45 minutes before they shot the whole thing. They included a few real-world examples and then mixed in a dream sequence to cap it all off. The idea for the short came about by taking election related news and spin into something new - What would it be like if a younger Donald Trump had met a younger Barack Obama and what would that exchange be like. The actress played a therapist in another private session with young Trump.

Sasha is showing a new member, Dustin, how to create music using the website soundtrap. She demonstrated vocals and how the website can create a full band of instruments when needed. Another member, Manuel, watches from behind as they work.

Sasha is one of our members who enjoys creating music and live streaming. She enjoys the complete freedom that Soundtrap provides to her. The new member, Dustin, also enjoys creating music so this was the first time that he had heard about the website. It was to his benefit to join the program because he learned about a new tool that he can use when creating music.
