Mobile Movie Making Bike Ride

We - 6 volunteers & sometimes Abdulai - biked around the District to 5 villages for 6 days. Each village made quick "educational" videos about HIV/AIDS & then at night we showed them on a big sheet with a projector and amplifier. Most began with an introduction by the respected Chief & Elders whose faces look great on the big screen & People loved it. Then students or youth would do short dramas... a few even had more than 7 scenes. Quick scenes. Then we shot people trying to put condoms on wooden penises correctly. Always fun.

We had some strange technical problems but got through most of them. Why will my camera not export audio properly? Doesn't make sense. I got feverish toward the end too but I just need sleep I think.
