Video shooting idea with Kindell and Vanessa

Holi is the Indian festival celebrating the arrival of the spring season. Widely recognized as the Festival of Color, this event involves throwing colored powder, called rang, on friends and family. The Hindu Students Association is putting on the largest student celebration at the LBJ Lawns with entertainment by a DJ. We will be filming individual's opinions on the Holi festival before April 30(day of festival), students involved with setting up the festivals, and students the day of the festival.

The Holi festival is visually compelling because it is outdoors in a vast area with various amounts of colors being thrown around. Although the original Holi festival is focused more on the Hindu original, the UT Hindu organization wants the festival to be more focused on a sense of unity between students and the welcoming of spring. By gathering interviews before and during the event, we think it will provide a better understanding of the event and how UT students feel about it.
