Whoa. There was a big crunch of getting pick up shots and editing during the days after Memorial Day! Because the plan was to watch all 6 group videos together on June 1, the last day of school. That worked out, with only a few technical difficulties. I brought lots of snacks to thank the kids for their hard work in front of and behind the camera. The did a lot of good things during this project, and hopefully learned a thing or two as well.
The entire 5th grade got together to watch them, which was fun. The only bummer was that more than a handful of students weren't there to share in the excitement, because Dekalb County's summer school started that same day, June 1. ICS was on a different schedule, so the ICS students who needed to attend summer school had to miss the last day of their normall school year (which includes many of the international students). I talked with the principal of the Stone Mountain campus, and hopefully I can go back and show the videos again at the beginning of the 2007-08 school year.

Hello Bridget,
My name is Garrett DeHart
I'm a grad student in the film department at GSU. I'm not sure that we have met.
Nick has talked about you quite a bit over the last year or so and I've been meaning to get in touch with you.
I'm working on the development of a progressive web portal that would try to encourage the development of community film.
There is a jump page on www.vlogosphere.org but things seem to be coming together and we hope to start actual production of the real site in the next month.
The site will start as a national centralized portal for the Immigrant Rights Movement. We'd love to start helping Immigrants tell their stories through the site as soon as possible.
This might be my thesis project. Not quite sure yet.
I'd love to get any ideas you might have.
Hope you get this.
