At the time I was in a video production class in high school. Each week we produced a short news program for the school. When we all came to class the next day (we started an hour early, before the other students arrived) we were all still in a bit of a state of shock. Our teacher came in and told us that we weren't doing our show that week, and we could just use the class periods to catch up on other work or to just reflect.
All of us looked at each other. No. We were going to make something. That very day. We hurried to head out to the hallways with cameras, recording interviews with students and faculty. A couple of us stayed behind, quickly splicing together pieces of footage from the news networks and videos of the interviews. I had never cried while editing a video before, but that wasn't the case this day. We used the song "Dolphin's Cry" by Live in the video. Whenever I hear it, I still get goosebumps and chills.
Somewhere at my parents house I think I've still got a copy of our final product from the 12th. I should try to dig it up the next time I visit.
