In the last few weeks, we have celebrated some big milestones by finishing some important projects. Now we’ve returned to some other language versions that have been neglected for quite a while. That’s when we realized we had a problem.
We need a redo.
We returned to edit an episode of our Heritage Project series after nearly a year of other things going on. To our dismay, one scene where we should see the host on camera was not shot two years ago when the host was in our studio. So we have to redo it. And because two years have passed, we have to redo all of that host’s on-camera segments. These are not impossible things to overcome, but these mistakes have consequences. In the disappointment, having to redo has some positive things to consider.
James challenges us that, when we look in the mirror and recognize a mistake, we should make the adjustment to do what is right. So without making excuses or pointing fingers, we will look at it as another opportunity— a redo.
We now know exactly what needs to be re-recorded. Our team is more experienced and cohesive. The host can now improve their delivery. We get a redo to tell a powerful story to a language group that has little broadcast programming in their native tongue... so all can hear!
