My students are musical!

I have the great fortune of teaching a Saturday class at DCTV, located in Chinatown in New York City. It is a wonderful facility where documentaries are constantly being produced, and a large part of the building (which is a renovated firehouse) has been converted into spacious classrooms where young people interested in learning about basic video production come to learn.

I meet with an amazing group of teens every week, and we are working on the basics of shooting and editing. This is one of our first exercises: a song cut together from a bunch of noises that we made one Saturday in July.
