Posted on October 26, 2011

Finally found time to include the feedback I received on the first combo interview video on Point Hope. Let me know what you think of this newer version. Added some background on the village, and cleaned up the sound. Hope you enjoy it!

Kotzebue, AK – Montage – 20Sep11

Posted on September 22, 2011

This is the 2nd video made for the Nome Rotary Club meeting, Sept. 21st at Noon. I was surprised how much longer it was than Point Hope's. But certain clips were just too precious to cut. Would love feedback on the use of music, and whether it was effective. Also on the still shots. Thanks & enjoy!

Point Hope Video Montage – 19Sep11

Posted on September 21, 2011

Here is a small video montage I put together for a presentation at the Nome Rotary Club. The meeting is held on Sept. 21st at Noon, at the Airport Pizza restaurant. It's the first time I've been asked to speak on the project, and I'm really honored. Many people are excited for my presentation. I've got 3 move videos I'm trying to do, but keep running out of disk space! Can't wait to get my new hard drive in Unalakleet...

Interview: Wendy Ellen, Oakland, CA — 20Jun11

Posted on June 28, 2011

Interview: Wendy Ellen, Oakland, CA -- 20Jun11 from The SpokenCoast Project on Vimeo.

This is the first interview I've shot & edited with the Nikon D5100 HD camera. The sound was the most difficult to edit & match up. However, Wendy Ellen's story is quite powerful, and can speak to all women today. Hope you enjoy it, & thanks for supporting The SpokenCoast Project!
