Learning About the Cars

Actually it was the first time all these guys got really animated when I asked them about thier cars. It helped I brought my aunt’s car to fix today, also I was without camera. Maybe I need to spend more time without a camera, and ask all the questions I want to know, so I can lead the people when I eventually get them to sit down and ask them about stuff.

The graphic artist Kosa is working on the flash for the show reel, and if I can make a really good show reel and show it to the guys, and continue to make short films or segments to show them, then maybe they can trust me more.
