Short Synopsis: Dog and Kitty City is a non-profit animal rescue center in Dallas Texas. They are a no kill shelter that houses multiple dogs and cats that have been left on the streets or dropped off by their owners. The shelter runs off of public donations, so they are all gearing up for North Texas Giving Day where they will promote their shelter and receive donations. This video will help showcase our skills at teamwork, audio, and video, as well as help convey the hard work and kindness of the volunteers at Dog and Kitty City.

Mixing Notes This was an extremely fun project to produce and to mix!

The most time-consuming aspect of mixing came to cleaning up the interviews and making sure the music lined up with the visual direction.
