Inspired by Paper, Elizabeth Parthum and the Pyramid Atlantic Print and Paper Studio

video
Film by Bruce Jones, "Inspired by Paper" featuring Elizabeth Parthum and her thoughts on papermaking and working at the Pyramid Atlantic Print and Paper Studio in Washington DC. This films was part of the Backpack Journalism Workshop by Bill Gentile and the PBS show "Now".

Over 4 days we had to select a location, go there twice, meet people, find a story, shoot back ground, then shoot an interview, review footage and figure out what you had, edit it all and present it complete at the end of the workshop. It was a great experience and I learned a huge amount on finding and producing stories using portable video and computer equipment.
To learn more about this workshop and the project check out my special event web site Bruce Jones Backpack Journalism Workshop

Bill Gentile runs this workshop on a continual basis and if you are interested in enriching your video knowledge this is the workshop to take, I couldn't recommend it more. To learn more check out billgentile.com

MGH Eat Street Cafe Hallway Renovation Project

How to Customize PowerPoint Clip Art Maps

video

How to video produced to show tips and techniques for customizing editable PowerPoint maps from the World of Maps Clip Art Collection from www.bjdesign.com. This video was captured and edited using the screen capture software Screenflow. The actual demo was done in PowerPoint. Screenflow is an amazing product that allows you to capture two tracks of video from the computer, what is on the screen and what is coming through the built in camera and also records the audio from the internal mic. For editing the two video tracks are independent of each other and can be moved around the screen, turned, tipped, shadowed, all kinds of things. Screenflow outputs a .mov file that is clear and nicely compressed. This is one of the best pieces of screen capture software out there for producing how to, training types of video.
