No time to waste time
I'm really busy sorting through all of those videos Elisabeth made yesterday. She kept changing her clothes so every take shows her in a new outfit. To be honest she looked good in basically everything she wore. So I try to go through all the videos and search one were she doesn't come off too bad.

If I want to finish I better select one, so I can start on the theme I'm supposed to create. I better ask Rachel for help on that one after all she is one the editors of Pemberley Digital.

Done. It is finally done. I have barely slept. All thanks to Rachel with her and her help I would still be putting the video together. She even asked one of her friends from work to design a background for the intro. I need to make sure that Elisabeth mentions them in her next video. And I need to get going or I will be late for work.
Second episode of the Elisabeth Elliot Show: "Starring ME and my family"
(transcript)
Anne: Camera's on.
Elisabeth: Hello my dears. Today I have a special treat for you. Can you guess? *smile and wink* Today I'm going to present my family. First my dear father... *small pause* but I'm not going to mention his name here. Nobody should be accusing me of riding coattails. *smile and wink* So what I can tell you he is a very handsome and successful businessmen in his early 50ties. He used to be an actor and is now the CEO of a famous production Company. The played famous rolls in movies like the …
Anne: Elisabeth, isn't that a little bit too specific?*glare from Elisabeth* I mean it's easy to figure out if...*trails off*
Elisabeth: Hmmm well if you say so. But I really don't think that I given that much information.*pouting*
Elisabeth: Well, back to my family. After Dad there is me of course. A beautiful and talented actress and director on her way to super stardom. *smile and wink* *posing and flirting with the camera.
Anne: *Coughs* *Camera shakes*
Elisabeth: What are you doing, you ruining the video.
Anne: Sorry.
Elisabeth: You know I would have mentioned you anyway. You needn't put on such theatrics. Seriously *annoyed*
Anne: I didn't mean...
Elisabeth: Well this is my younger sister Anne. She is filming these videos. Well that's it see you all next...
Anne: Wait, aren't you forgetting a few people.
Elisabeth: *seems confused* Who do you mean? Oh, you meant mother, didn't you? Well I don't think it proper to talk about her. I mean her being unwell and all.
Anne: No, I perfectly understood that, but what about Rachel?
Elisabeth: Well … *looking embarrassed* She isn't technically part of this family you know... not that I don't love her, but...*trails off*
Anne: She is helping with these videos.
Elisabeth: Okay, Okay. So a big thank you for helping out with these videos to my former nanny Mrs. Russell. All my love. And I see you all next time. *blows a kiss to the camera*
Screen turns black for 4 seconds
Rachel (6 months pregnant) appears in front of the camera
Anne: *behind the camera* Do you really think this is a good idea?
Rachel: Yes, I do. I'm just going to quickly explain a couple of things. Don't worry.
Anne: Okay. *exhales breath* okay you can start.
Rachel: Alright. Hello my name is Rachel Russell, I am the former nanny of Elisabeth and Anne. * smiles fondly* I was hired to help Ms Elliot after his wife a dear friend of mine from school developed dementia and had to be institutionalised after Ms Elliot wasn't able to care for her any more at home. She is in one of the best felicitates and is quiet comfortable. Anne and I occasionally visit her there. Anne, by the way shouldn't you properly introduce yourself too? Come one come here. *Rachel stands up to get Anne*
Anne: No. No please I much rather stay behind the camera. I don't need to be introduced.
*pause of several seconds*
Anne: Can you mention you work place and thank them for the equipment.
Rachel: Of course. I work as an editor at Pemberley Digital, who were so generous to let us use their equipment on this project and an especially big thanks to Gigi Darcy, who designed the background for the intro of the videos. So have yourself a wonderful day and good-bye.
