This project compiled footage of Tule Ponds
and interviews about the area's history and functions. We interviewed
city officials and volunteers to tell this story while encouraging
viewers to join the effort. In making this video, I taught each helper
the necessary skills in video production and immediately put their
knowledge to use. Helpers assisted in recording the land, along with
interviews, using video equipment like Canon EOS R6 and Sony a6000
mirrorless cameras. After our interview with Dr. Blueford, we walked
around Tule Ponds and collected footage of the land. While doing so, we
stumbled upon another Eagle Project at work by Sattvik Kurani, which
appeared in the video. Although it was not planned, we featured it in
the video, and it made a good fit. The process of carrying out this
project required putting together a basic outline of the video,
scheduling dates to film, acquiring that footage, and then outlining
again before finally editing the video. Samanyu Singh provided the voice
recording and that was overlayed onto the audio track.

I thank the work of scouts and other
helpers (Neil Makur, Noah Ricketts, Derek La, Sahan Karunaratne,
Samanyu Singh, Sattvik Kurani), along with adults (Ms. Makur, Ms.
Trinh, Mr. Bathini, Mr. Madhu). Also, I thank the interviewees:
Shambhavi Tyagi and Mr. Weed, along with Dr. Blueford, who helped me
get this project started. Also, I would like to thank Ms. Fry for
helping me every step of the way as my Eagle Project Coach. This
project could not have been done without you.
