“Diversity” ft. Liyana and students from the San Francisco School of the Arts
DescriptionRain is a beautiful thing.
It refreshes and renews the world as we know it.
Liyana.
In Zimbabwe the news of rain falls onto grateful ears;
upon a country elated to be refreshed and renewed.
Liyana.
Liyana means “it’s raining”. They are a group stemming from King George VI school in Zimbabwe. Though students at KGVI all have physical challenges they are encouraged to believe they can achieve anything. Liyana has achieved a great deal in its first US tour. In this video, Liyana met up with students from the San Francisco School of the Arts at Macworld and created a project titled “Diversity”.
We may come from different countries,
We may speak different languages,
We may dance different dances,
But something makes us all the same.
Liyana.

Video aboard the Bus
The increasing accessibility of digital technology has led to an amazing expansion of opportunity in the art of digital storytelling. The John Lennon Educational Tour Bus has been at the forefront of this new media explosion, having produced daily video projects with students since January of 2001. The Lennon Bus puts state-of-the-art digital video equipment into the hands of workshop participants and teaches the entire digital workflow from story-boarding to DVD burning. Students leave the experience having shot, chopped, scored, and (most importantly) finished an entire digital video production. Using the latest cameras and professional hardware/software solutions including Apple's Final Cut Studio and Bogen Imaging's complete line of grip equipment, tripods, filters, and accessories, participants are exposed to the exciting world of digital videography and learn hot techniques of the trade. The accessibility of professional-quality technology is making it possible for millions of new voices to be heard and the John Lennon Bus is putting these tools into the hands of tomorrow's great digital producers.
