In keeping with my family theme to my return to my website/blog/former student writing/video of the week/photo of the week–i am posting the first video my son nathan made in high school (that i know of), which i think is really cool. I give you “Big Ed Does San Antonio.” (Beth just showed me a cool new way to post it without having to use the url.)

This is one of my favorite Individual Video Introductions, done by Zach Goodall a few years ago. If I had done what he does at the end of the video, my mother (or my wife) would have killed me!

This is the video introduction done by Jovanna Fajardo and Katy Towers for my CW class. They do kind of seem like bullies on the playground, but i choose to believe the disclaimer at the end. I wonder if they are still friends?

An assignment in my Photojournalism class is doing a feature on your best friend. Rafa Gomez decided to turn his feature on Breanna Hild into a video. I think it came out pretty cool!

One of my assignments in Advanced Creative Writing is that my students have to take a published poem and make a video that complements it. Here is Joy (Strom) Pitts wonderfully creative take on an e.e. cummings’ poem.

“The Greatest Quixote Film” get the second Video of the Week slot. I didn’t give it that title–there were a few that I was more closely involved with making that are perhaps closer to my own heart–but this is certainly a great Quixote film.

Week 7–7‑2013
For my first Video of the Week, I might as well embarrass myself. In two of my classes, I have my students make an Individual Video Introduction (I’m sure you’ll see some of them down the road). This is a 2 to 4 minute film, which we watch as a class, and which is supposed to help us get to know the person better. This video is my attempt at doing the assignment—as you can see, it didn’t work out too well for me.
