Project Representation: 2008 Presidential Election
9 min 10 sec
Producer / Editor: Tim Harvey, Agnes Ma, Bernice Ong
Location: Illini Union, University Quadrangle, Green Street - Illinois, USA
On the day of the 4th of November 2008, prior to the announcement of presidential candidate Barrack Obama's electoral success to Commander-in-chief later in that evening, Timothy Harvey, Agnes Ma and Bernice Ong head out to the Illini Union, one of the polling stations at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and while overstepping their boundaries, got chased out by over-zealous guards. They positioned themselves on the university quadrangle, collecting vital information at the peak of the election frenzy, interviewing students and staff members of diverse backgrounds on their views on the election situation. This is their documentation of the day.
Special thanks to CBS News, Agnes for vital Green Street footage, and the interviewees involved in the production of this video.
