Perhaps Mr Huang is feeling his age more profoundly than we had previously thought. This week he rescheduled our interview that had been set for Wednesday, citing a need to visit the hospital. While I do not doubt the legitimacy of this reasoning, I feared that there was more to this than he was letting on; namely that he wasn’t feeling the doco vibe as enthusiastically as we’d thought. He later sent a text message about how he wasn’t the best fit for the assignment; that we might be better off interviewing his family or someone who works with him. This message I passed on to jenny and even, and we talked to Rohan about how to sort it out.

 

Considering how much rested on securing Mr Huangs involvement, Jenny and Even approached him with a considered, professional manner and explained our situation to him. He changed his mind and we were able to reschedule to the following monday. It would be just Me, Even and Jenny conducting the interview. This wasn’t quite to my satisfaction as I don’t believe having a large physical presence in a room with a skittish interview subject is optimal, but we had to make sure the footage came out alright.

 

We’ve also got a pretty good handle on the log sheet.
