The Juggling Act
Posted on May 6, 2011 | No CommentsWild month ahead! As of today I have 22 days left before the BIG installation, and you know what that means… EUPHORIC STRESS. I was at Inglenook yesterday to assess the space and determine media placement. So much potential. So much room to play. It... -
Fine tooth comb
Posted on January 25, 2011 | No CommentsHere’s the thing about editing, choosing the best content is tough. We get attached to our media and have a hard time deciphering the relevant material from the unnecessary. As a result, it’s always a longer process than you think to produce a finished product.If... -
A Bridge in the Room
Posted on January 5, 2011 | 1 CommentBefore the holidays I had the pleasure of interviewing Leah Sherry, a high school teacher (who prefers to be called a “facilitator”) and some of her students at the CICO Education Program (Community In, Community Out) in Toronto’s Annex district. Leah teaches media literacy at... -
School was not meant for happiness
Posted on October 15, 2010 | 1 CommentI’ve been anxious to get this audio clip up of a phone conversation with my supervisor, Alexandra Bal, for a while now. Well, it’s more of a passionate monologue by her about our ailing system of education! It was great! Just what I needed to... -
Needs in school and not home-school!
Posted on September 23, 2010 | 3 CommentsThe last shoot in Montreal, at LaurenHill Academy, was fun! The anticipated 3-4 interviewees turned into 5 that needed to be filmed as a group during their lunch hour. The night before I was trying to figure out how I would incite conversation from students... -
The Sound of Freedom
Posted on August 3, 2010 | 2 CommentsOK, I’ll confess, I’m a bit of a Montreal snob when it comes to our artistic culture in this town. It’s just that ol’… je ne sais quoi. Case in point: this past weekend I invited my neighbor, who’s new to Montreal, to meet my... -
Benefits of Segregation?
Posted on July 29, 2010 | 1 CommentI’ve been so anxious to start filming at my old high school–as I have been planning to for a while now–that I decided a couple of days ago that I could at least grab some B-roll on the campus grounds until the formal shooting can... -
Patterns and Passion
Posted on July 23, 2010 | 3 CommentsI have a couple of audio clips to share with you today. I spoke a while back of my anticipated meeting with Freddy, a 19 year old musician all around talented guy. Well, we spent a good 2 hours together chatting about all things education... -
You don’t have a learning style, apparently.
Posted on July 21, 2010 | 4 CommentsWhat?! Are you kidding me? If there’s no such thing as learning styles I may as well drop my whole thesis project and go get a real job! This theory is discussed in Daniel Willingham book Why don’t Students Like School? I discovered his book... -
Work’N the Audio
Posted on June 13, 2010 | No CommentsI spent the weekend messing around with Mac’s GarageBand (‘08) and the free software Audacity (…steamy, as you can imagine), to see which one would be best to work with for editing audio and creating a podcast. No to G.B…. and I’m not feel’n Audacity...
