Neighborhood Video Project - Skyline Homestretch

It's hard to believe, but the Neighborhood Video Project at Skyline Tower class is nearly over. We've been hard at work editing our footage while continuing to interview experts and residents. 

Over Thanksgiving break, the NVP crew turned their cameras on themselves through a video diary assigment. Each youth took a small Flip video camera home and completed a variety of assignments. For example, some youth chose to interview their parents, some talked about their own Skyline stories, and some took us on tours of the spaces in Skyline that we don't normally enter as a class. In the video above, Baraqwo does the latter.

This week, we'll continue to edit, edit, edit, to get ready for our screening on December 19th at Skyline.
