Aigen: One Man’s War

Hello all! I’m just going to jump right on in. My name is Mikayla Mummaw and I am a senior Mass Media major at Valdosta State University. This semester, I was presented with an incredible opportunity to come on board and work on this documentary with John Brown along with another student, Olivia Rosener. This week was our first week of classes. Being that it was week one, we focused mainly on discussing what our positions would be for this production, as well as what the future of this documentary looks like. Myself and Olivia are coming on as student assistants. Our role will include assisting with filming such as helping compose and frame shots, running audio, and editing together final pieces. As stated in the about page of this blog page, this documentary has been two years in the making. Where this documentary last left off was with a 55-minute rough cut of the footage that they had collected. We discussed the idea of turning this documentary into a docu-series of four episodes of about 30-minutes each. With these, Olivia and I may contribute to editing together one of these episodes. In addition to discussing our roles in this project and the future of it, we also planned to take a trip down to Palatka, FL this weekend to film some footage at a car show that will feature vehicles and artifacts from WWII.
