Currency & Exchange is Spaking new for you, madd OLD for us!
Yes, the Currency & Exchange project has been an uphill battle that encountered many challenges along the way. This project was recorded on Tuesday, October 2nd 2012. However, Executive Producer and Director Allende, G. did not had the opportunity to complete the editing and musical editing of this video until some time November 2013.
Reasons for the delay: #1 Finances. To finance this project was not very expensive; what was very expensive + dificult was to finance the commute to Wesley Chapel, FL once a week on record gas prices. #2 availabilty of Editor Rodney Brown. Mr. Brown works for a local universtiy that ocupies lost of his time, even on week ends. #3 and more importantly: as Rodney and I kept editing, better and greater ideas kept developing. For example, I thought that I was going to make a 3 single videos, but with so much material + great editing we decided to make it an artistic short film. That's the real way how this project came about.
