This is a rough edit of a project that I've been working on about Greg Callen. It's still a work in progress, but I wanted to see what I had to put together. It was fun editing it all and nice to see what I still need to capture. It's pretty unpolished, but enjoy!! Any suggestions would be awesome.
I do know that the title will change... all i keep thinking about is that techno song from the early 90's. "No no, no no no no, no no no no, no no There's no limit!!" I'm about the no no it right to the curb! I've been singing for the majority of my editing experience! :-) Now.. I hope it's stuck in all of those who are reading this post's head too. *insert evil laugh here*

Two words: Go-kart cam.
Stephanie,
You did a great job with this piece. A lot of our family/friends got to see it over the Holiday. Maybe an outside perspective (other Kart racers) shedding light on what Greg has achieved in racing in a short period of time would be good to hear.
To hear Greg say it takes him longer to do things is contrary to what he does on the track, because he's faster than most people (myself included)!!
Thanks Sean! yes, more content is needed to actually make this story. Thanks for the input, it helps!!
Greg,
Wow... 55mph - so close to the ground MUST be an adreniline rush!
Stephanie-
This is GREAT! You and Greg must have spent a lot of time working on this. Greg is an AMAZING person and you have captured how amazing he is in this video.

Hey Stephanie-
I just found this link via Greg's Facebook page. We went to college together and HE is dynamic! I love what you are doing and the message he is sending. How easy it would be for him to develop a different attitude than the one he has. He really is inspirational. I would love to see the final version when you are done. It made me think of the song "Aint No Mountain High Enough"... don't know why.
Just checked out this clip on Greg! nice job steph. You've captured Greg's hunger for life's achievements, and all that comes with them. Greg's a great guy, and reminds us all, whether physically challenged, or not, that you can't let anything stop you from achieving your goals. Actually makes me stop and think about getting off my butt, and trying some new things. ;)
Can't wait to see the finished piece.
Oh, and Greg, you may want to share some of your "bowling" prowess with steph, as well. :)
Stephanie,
The video of Greg is amazing. Your video/blog was forwarded to me by a friend and so far the video is very impressive. I went to school with Greg and would like to contact him to catch up. Do you have his email or any other form of communication? Thanks.

Great video so far. I think it will be great for other people with spinal cord injuries (or many other injuries) to see this when it is done. I would suggest adding in a part about his every day life and how he modifies activities we all do every day without giving them a second thought. How about going into how he bought his own house, modifications that had to be done, etc. Can't wait to see the finished product!
Nice job with the spot. It captures a look at a great guy taking on life's challenges with motivation and a passion for life. If this helps one single person get up in the morning and press on it's a huge success! Thanks.
