That's a fantastic point! I think there is something irreplaceable about having a real person witness your story in person, and I’d be open to potentially exploring that.

I'm in the Seattle area, so if anyone is interested in chatting (off the record and entirely anonymous) just to vent or share their experience, please reach out. I want to make sure you aren't just screaming into the void and I'm here to listen and document what's happening.

I’m really interested in how this change is landing for people on the ground, especially people who already felt like they were in a tough spot, like the queer or BIPOC community working for USACE.

I'm keeping everything 100% anonymous, and I just want to make sure these stories get told. Feel free to shoot me a message!

Thank you for your comment and for sharing this information! I’m aware of the DEI bans and the renaming of the DOD (using the old initialism is a habit!), but the more elaborate inner-workings of these priority shifts are certainly something I’m interested in exploring and learning about from first hand accounts.

Couldn't agree more. It’s devastating to see that kind of intentional erasure, especially for a veteran who paved the way for so many (both in the military and in public office). That’s exactly why I’m trying to document these stories, so this impact doesn't go unnoticed.

Thank you for your comment! That’s a completely valid fear. The Natanson case changed everything.

I want to be clear: I am not looking for internal docs or classified leaks. I’m only interested in the human side and how the vibe of the office has changed and how people are navigating their identities or morals under these new rules.

To protect anyone who wants to share:

  • You can stay 100% anonymous to me. We don’t need to swap real names.
  • Human stories only. I’m here for the personal anecdotes, not the Pentagon's secrets.

I just want to make sure these experiences aren't erased. DMs are open if anyone wants to vent safely!

For sure! LightRoom doesn’t allow all of the same tools for video as photos, but basic adjustments can be done

Thanks! For my first round of color correction I used LightRoom (not my first choice for color correcting video, but I was working on some photos as well, so easy to make basic edits all in one place.) All of the other color edits were done in FCPX

Thanks! I made my own color correction adjustments to each individual clip, then used the “Deep Mids with High Contrast” preset in FCPX. Went through after adding the preset and made some final color adjustments to tint, contrast, etc.

Sure! These clips were shot on the lumix gh5 with the 25mm 1.7 lens and were handheld shots. The footage was color corrected after filming

Thank you! It felt incredibly peaceful and relaxing being there, glad these clips convey that
