Cash For Clunkers

I asked Caleb if I could do something other than editing, seeing as how editing was becoming tedious, and I wanted to learn more. He sent me out with reporter Aaron Smith to do work for Cash for Clunkers, during its first week. The day of our interview, on our way back to Time Warner, we got the news that C4C was running out of money and there is a huge angle on the story. The reporter asked if I wanted to join him in pursuit of this story, and I happily obliged. We went back out a second day and got more interviews. It was interesting because the day before, everything was so hopeful, and the second day, we were discussing the hardships and possible early demise of the C4C program.

I was asked to edit a video (Caleb really seemed to like my work, so he wanted me to do SOMETHING). He came up with an idea where I edit a video that basically describes the process of killing a car's engine for the program. Here is the report that Aaron did, along with my video (How To Kill A Car Engine):
