Week 8 Blog- Stella Sather

I am excited to be writing this blog because we finally got to go out and capture our main footage! I think this past Saturday excursion to Omaha went great. The weather was amazing, the restaurants were excited to have us, and we won at least one of the challenges. We went to Bailey’s first so Connor could try and tame the “Porkasaurus” food challenge. The time limit was 30 minutes but unfortunately it could not be finished in that time. We did find out an interesting piece of information from our waitress, though. She informed us that the Man vs. Food star, Adam Richman, also tried this food challenge and could also not finish it. We left feeling better about the loss, considering a professional could not finish it either. We moved on to eCreamery ice cream shop to take on the Dundee Dozen. Lindsay and I got 20 minutes to finish 12 scoops of ice cream with 12 toppings. We finished in 17:01, you can now refer to us as “Legends.” We won a t-shirt and team bracelets for each of us. As far as content goes we captured pictures, video on both our phones and the JVC, and audio clips through Connor’s mic. I think things went as planned and I can’t wait to take the next steps and compile our content. Another next step we are planning on taking is finding a dinner type of challenge here in Lincoln to partake in. One challenge we did have on Saturday was setting up the gopro, so for the Lincoln food challenge we want to make sure and incorporate that component. I think so far we are making great progress and working together well as a team.
