Research and Process
Cross-Continental Collaboration
Already familiar with the ProWalk Tours videos on YouTube, I knew right where to go when starting my research for this show. Authenticity was important to me for this show, and I kept coming back to the videos for their truthful representation of Florentine streets. I decided to reach out to the channel's producer Isaac to see if he would be open to me using some of his audio in the show. And he was! To the right is one of the videos I used audio from.
