Interview with intern

Also went over some stuff with the interviewers:
They need:

• Cameras (I think Sara needed on by April 16th)

When you guys are interviewing:
Remember to frame the interview in such a way that they only take up 2/3rds of the shot

Reminders:

• Researchers' need to help Matt and Ron out with some...well...research... (but I think that's being taken care of already)
• Editors: @Interviewers/Directors: As soon as you guys start getting footage, let us know!!!!!! We need to start synthesizing it asap, so we're not swamped. THANKS!!
