First off, we need to pray & see if we really want to do this. If so we’ve thought of some possible solutions to the aforementioned conflicts.
 
Time

We can shoot on Monday and Wednesday nights after work. While it might not be the most recent news, we try to cover news you probably wouldn’t hear otherwise, so if it’s 12 hours later than before, I think that’s okay.
 
Editing

We would need to set aside a set amount of money per episode to pay an editor. They would have from 10pm Monday(/Wednesday) until 3pm on Tuesday(/Thursday) to finish the episode, set it to upload, etc. The only way I could see finding someone that committed to the project would be to pay them.
 
Impeding Location Change

We cannot fully plan for this until we see where we are both living in the next six months. SO all we can do about this one is pray.

I think it would be awesome to keep going. It is a lot of work though. There is a big time commitment and with us having to pay an editor, there is a financial investment beyond the initial $100 each. It is something that I still feel I need to pray on.

The proudest episode to date of ION is that of this past Tuesday. The story's were all interesting, and engaging, and Gino exceeded my expectations with the edit.

But it did not come without hardship. I received a text from Gino, our editor at 9:30am asking if he could skip editing this week. Jeremy had work and I had class, so it wasn't really going to work. SInce Gino starts editing at 10:30, it was short notice to scramble to make a plan. Since we were just finished shooting, I started to sync the footage and I did a rough edit on the first story. I left for class and Jeremy reedited the first and completely edited the second story. He then was able to pass it off to Gino who finished the stories and added assets. But that was just half the battle.

I needed to leave at 3:00pm. first cut of the episode was not ready from Gino until 3:15 pm. Without watching, I uploaded it and added the description, title, thumbnail, tags, etc. I left at 3:35pm and then got a text from Jeremy that there were mistakes in the edit. I was gone, but GIno was able to re-upload and take the info from my first upload. It all worked out and just so happens to be my favourite episode. 

ION has come so far from the first episode. If you go to our channel and scroll down and watch the first episode compared to Episode 14, it is so much better now. I think I have grown a lot in front of the camera in the past eight weeks and am grateful for it all. We have one more week of episodes for this project, and I am excited to see what note we end it on.
