Today we finally wrapped up the documentary. As the final edits were being made, everyone backed up all of the work they had done on hard drives and cleaned up the school. When the movie was ready, we got together as a group to watch the final production. It was really great seeing all our hard work from these past 3 weeks come together at the end. It really helps us who did not directly film the video and were on the 3D side see how our work helped tell the narrative of the story.
After the viewing was over, we all worked together to pack up the school. It’s pretty crazy to think that was our last time there! These 3 weeks seemed to go by very slowly at first, but then picked up speed during the second half! Now we only have one day left in Paros before we will all be parting ways. Some of us are heading to other parts of Europe, while others are heading home.
Later that evening, we celebrated with a group dinner. The dinner was very delicious and I was full from just eating the appetizers! There was a great plate of traditional Greek samplers for us all to enjoy. For my meal, I got the stuffed calamari. I didn’t know what to expect when I ordered it but it ended up being a whole squid stuffed with cheese on a bed of rice! At the end of dinner, Albert gave us all a gift with a very nice card! It was a great surprise to end the trip with.
