[Linares] The Solar Decathlon competition isn't just about building a house.
It's also about communicating what the house does.
What it's about. Why is it that it's important to use different types of technologies to further our abilities
to maintain sustainable housing.
So, it's really important that each solar decathlon team
such as Team Capitol DC, has a dedication communications department.
[Edwards] The ability to create this product that really shows what
Team Capitol DC is, not just what the story is about making this house,
but what it actually takes to build a product for a community and all that it involves.
[Ruperti] And it can really show us as individuals and human beings instead of everyone being perfect.
That's not really how the world works.
[Linares] As part of a construction crew, learning how to
be extra conscientious about where you are, who you're standing next to.
Is everyone aware of where you are and are you aware of them?
And even though you always do that when you're shooting, it's just another level here on a construction site.
[Boccelli] The most difficult part of finding stories is
that they're here every single day and they're doing their job.
So we need to find that balance between
creating story and letting these guys actually come out here and get this house done.
[Ruperti] If people feel comfortable talk about their angst and their excitement more, that would be great.
'Cause that really gives us something to work with.
You know, if it's something that people are really worried about in the beginning of the week
and then at the end of the week "Oh my God, this totally worked out," that could be a great story arc to put in the video.
[Fields] Well getting interviews is really hit or miss. It really depends on the day.
I guess you can imagine that after a long hard day, the last thing you want is someone questioning you about how it was.
but coming from a cinematographer's standpoint, those are the things you want to capture.
Those are the things that make the story move.
[Ruperti] Since a lot of us are building stuff or videotaping for the first time
it's really good to show what those emotions are.
[Fields] The main joy out of it is the brief insight you get to that person's mind.
[Edwards] So a lot of it is just really putting it together in an interesting and unique way
That's really going to address the message that we want for our audiences
about how all of these students are coming together to build this sustainable home
that's going to go to a veteran.
[Ruperti] I actually want to ask the same questions again
just because you get different answers and you never really know what to expect.
[Linares] So whichever slot works or whichever one comes out sounding more intelligent.
