i don't know how to answer this yet, but I'm glad you ask this due to a few points id like to bring up to videographers:
-we should all be working to raise the bar in the industry. pay people properly and get paid properly. if you can't do this immediately, hopefully you have a good reason and explain that or get the explanation.
-video is so amazingly powerful. it makes me emotional just to think of all the great things we can do with it. for the hell of it or not, we should always be shooting or editing something and trying to make the most of the medium.
doing that video was so much fun, i couldn't even write enough. great people, fun topic, and of course, my favorite school
. here's the video looking better:

Looks like you had too much fun making that. If it was me, I'd break it down and hang with that last group after the shot. It's not like you're going to get any better footage.
it was one of those things you are shooting and thinking, "i cannot believe they just did that out of the blue? am I pressing record?" most of the time I am very conscious about seeing the red REC, but I actually was not sure until I got to look at the tape. everyone as talking about how neat it was that it just happened spontaneously, and I was p-r-e-t-t-y nervous..
here is the rap in full:

my friend traced part of the beats of heard in the rap.
group is: The Fugees. R&B Diva Lauren Hill used to be in the Fugees, until she went solo.
you can go on to itunes and listen
search "fu-gee-la"
There are two versions of the song:
1) Fu-Gee-La (Refugee Camp Remix)
2) Fu-Gee-La (Sly & Robbie Mix)
