My Project

My students LOVE to film and edit! It's so cool to see them actually CHOOSE to use a video camera (as opposed to their cell phones) when filming in my Adobe Video Design class.

For the past 10 years, my students have been using video cameras that are outdated, and the end-result video quality (or lack thereof) shows!

I truly believe that by using a high-quality video cam, my students will not only continue to excel in their enthusiasm for filming, but they will also excel to an even higher level of quality with their productions! This too can lead (and has led) my students to pursue careers in the field of television/movie/digital production (which is how I started out before becoming a video teacher)!
