As the date of the trip gets closer and closer I become more excited everyday. My excitement has intensified over the past few days specifically because I have started to review all of the footage from last years trip. And it looks amazing!
I am working with Vincenzo and Sam in the video group and we are putting together two videos before we leave and then two videos when we are down in the rainforest. The two videos we have begun working on are short informational videos on leaf cutter ants and the Rio San Juan. I have also begun to look through some photos from last year’s trip to post for the updated social media plan. The social media plan is to make a new Instagram page that will have posts every week and will look to grow an audience to raise awareness of the Makengue Project. Another aspect of the plan is to link the Instagram page with the Facebook page in order to make posting more efficient. The video group will also make an updated promo video which will display the beauty of Makengue as well as its importance and significance.
I cannot believe how fast the date is approaching! We depart the country in just 10 days and by looking at photos and videos recorded last year, I know this trip will make memories that last a lifetime.
