The document provides an evaluation of a "smile campaign" project. There were difficulties with time availability and technical issues that required changes to the storyboard, script, and plot. Scenes had to be cut or altered due to location problems. Friends were gathered to record genuinely instead of acting. Overall, the end result was great though difficult, and lessons were learned about planning, backups, and skills in video editing and recording footage for clients.
