Liz Wagner – PA Farmer (rough cut)

 

 

Editing this down to under 4 minutes was extremely frustrating. I took ~ 3 hours of footage and she just talked about so many things! My interest in the subject matter made me lead her in weird tangents though. And she really could talk — she never left much time in between sentences. That’s how I talk too, so we interrupted each other happily for 3 hours. When I got home to edit I realized how unhelpful that is. I think the overall choice to film her the entire time was positive though. It was a boar to wade through but I pulled some nice shots from it. Liz is one of the Lehigh Valley farmers that sells at the Muhlenberg Farmers Market so that’s how I met her. After I contacted her she recommended we go to Crooked Row, her farm off to the side of her parents’ larger farming operation. Her parents also own bison which is ridiculously cool. We fed them apples — definitely the most interesting thing I’ve done on a Sunday morning this semester. Liz’s friend was visiting so she brought him along and I tried to edit around him.
