Overall I think the interview went really well. I found it a little interesting how at the beginning he answered the questions with maybe one or two words but then as he got more comfortable he started answering the questions with a few more words and then eventually going to long stories about each question.  This may have been because our questions got better as we progressed but I believe that it was because he became more comfortable with talking to us and became more open. It was also really really cool how he took us around his apartment and showed us all of his work and all of his students work that he had kept. I felt like the interview went pretty well but I thought there were a few mistakes that could've been fixed. One example in our interview is that the interviewer would say wow in the middle of his sentences. When we were transcribing, at first, we thought we had to put all those wows in and that just took a lot longer. Now that we found out that we don't have to put the house and I don't think that such a bad mistake. Probably our biggest mistake that was bringing the flip camera  with only one hour of memory. We thought the both the flip cameras had the same amount of memory remember to check if the other flip camera has a different amount of memory. Since our interview went over an hour we did not have enough memory on the camera so we had to switch to Kirby's phone. Unfortunately Kirby's phone had very little memory on it, so we were only able to get five minutes off of that so we had to use my phone and got our last 10 minutes. This called to have blank spots in the video. If we have used other flip camera it would've been one straight video without blank patches missing. Again overall I felt like the interview was really intrresting.
