Video Examples  

This page has examples, ideas, and links to video clips for ideas on creating video clips. If anyone on the Harding High School team discovers, or has a link to an interesting video clip to gleam ideas from, please add the link to this page. I would suggest adding new ideas at the top of the page below this paragraph and before the next entry just below.

Art Center College of Design and Heart Project (Robert Price - filmmaker) 

A couple of short films by Robert Price including:

—The Art Center Abroad Index 2005 Design Exhibition DVD: Robert Price developed the questions; interviewed the students, faculty and Index Foundation staff; video taped the sessions; and did the video editing that was used in the Art Center produced DVD. The interviews took place in Copenhagen, Denmark during August 2005 at the student studios and The Index Foundation office. Project Producer is Helen Sanematsu; Project Director is Greg Wong; Design Interface by Kelvin Young. The final edit for the DVD was done by Kelvin Young and Greg Wong. The use of video with still images could be of interest. 

Heart Project - The Heart Project Documentary Film: 

This film was made for The HeArt Project, an out of school program that creatively links teens, artists, and communities to imagine, produce and present new work. Teenagers attending alternative high schools work with professional artists in programs that progress through three levels – workshops and public presentations, residencies, and scholarships. The HeArt Project believes that overlooked young people are extraordinarily creative, that artists are a significant civic resource, and that their ideas, collaborations and work benefit the entire culture. Robert Price directed and Charles Jones was the superb editor.
