Lisa Jackson and Catrina Longmuir made a preliminary
visit to Old Masset to meet with youth to discuss story ideas and to
talk about the “Our World” project. Thanks to Nate Jolley who
already does video workshops in Old Masset, we were able to access
talented youth that were already well versed in filmmaking processes.
We had a very productive couple of days at Christian White's Longhouse workshopping ideas with the
youth for their 250 word stories
Most
participants had a clear idea of what they wanted to do by the end of day one. On day two we even had time to do an
animation exercise in ‘pixilation’.
Each
of the six youth involved were artistic, talented and had a great
sense of filmmaking already. Because Nate is a resident of Masset,
doing media workshops, it meant that not only were we building on the
youths’ skills, but he was also there to continue working with them
after we left. We felt we were part
of a continuum, and that we were able to bring another dimension to
what they already knew. It felt great to know that they would almost
definitely be continuing to build their new skills and tools.
