This week, I wanted to explore telling history through sound. I chose the Roma/Romani as my subject, and mixed pre-recorded music, downloaded electronic sounds, and recorded live sounds (footwork and palmas) to chronicle their 1,000 year history and the various influences (African, American, Asian, and European).

Yaminie and I attended Gabe’s excellent tutorial […]

The weeks between October 9-23 were dedicated to learning how to prepare for, shoot and then edit a digital video. I was part of a big and wonderful group which included Jain, Jong Min, Sandra, Yaminie and myself.

During the week of October 2nd, Sandra and I made a stop-motion video using IStopMotion. We were both interested in bringing La Catrina, the famous Day of the Dead figure to life.
