Standout Quotes:

• "I believe truly that video and photography is really all about stories, no matter what kind of work you're doing" - [Mike]
• "It really doesn't matter what kind of camera you have, if it can record images and sounds, it's good enough, you can do amazing things with almost nothing" - [Mike]
• "Editing is just about making creative decisions in the process of creating and removing pieces that don't need to be there" - [Mike]
• "The more pieces there are, the more things that will capture people's attention, the harder time they'll have to figure out what's actually going on" - [Mike]
• "Essentially what we're doing is we're just capturing our lives as photographers" - [Raymond]
