Cuyahoga Falls, OH
What a moment. What a privilege. What an honor. Yolanda King, the daughter of the legendary leader, peacebringer, and philosopher Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., assuredly carries the aura and presence found in her mom and dad. Upon arrival, she floated to the rear studio of the Bus like an angelic diva, amidst a frenzy of photographers and friends who were well aware of the atmosphere she carries with her. Her unforgettable interview was filled with messages of peace, love, and oneness.
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.
