Wasted

Recently I helped Caleb film for Kennedale ISD's alcohol awareness program called Wasted.  It was an amazing experience.  This is a short recap of the 35 minute video that Caleb put together out of hours of footage that we filmed.  This doesn't include the most impactful parts of the video...the crash scene and the hospital scene.  On the day of the big event there was a very realistic crash scene set up in front of the school.  After an assembly the students were brought out to witness the aftermath of the crash (police, fire trucks, ambulance, and even the hearse taking away the deceased).  Caleb rode off in the first ambulance and went to the hospital to video what took place there (including parents arriving to find their child severely injured or dead).  After the last injured teen was taken off in an ambulance I went to the police station to film the drunk driver being booked and then to the morgue to film the "deceased" teens parents arriving to identify their bodies.  Even though everyone knew this was a production....it felt so real and the emotions were very raw. 

Again, this is a clip (part of a much longer movie that the students watched in the assembly) that set up the crash scene...
