Hi all, happy to report I was able to do my Zoom interview with Dr. Danielle Brown on Thursday, only one glitch (AKA human error) when I minimized the interface and it stopped recording so I now I just have to edit the two clips together and I'm not very tech saavy. I have a release form from my college but it's just authorizing the college to use photography/film; has anyone else put together wording for our project specifically or have suggestions for how to phrase it? TIA. :)
