Other places The John Lennon Songwriting Contest
It’s true that the stars are bright in Texas, and so are the musical talents of The Chute Club, the latest student band to work with the Lennon Bus. While the Bus was in Houston for the Black Eyed Peas Tour, The Chute Club stopped by and recorded an awesome track entitled, “Sidewalk Cracks.” Be sure to check out the talented antics of these students as they rock out in Houston!
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.
