TGC2: Friday Clip of the Day
TGC Clips of the Day
The Media Spot has worked within The Generation Connection summer camp for senior citizen mentors and kids age 8-12 since its establishment in 2002. Each day, small groups of campers video tape activities and edit the footage into "Clips of the Day". 2004's clips had campers editing in iMovie on a laptop, on the road for the first time.
The Process in '04:
TMS gives the entire camp an introduction to the basics of video editing on the first day of camp. During each camp activity, a small group of campers works with TMS to decide how to video tape the action, then they review the footage with TMS, and make a "rough cut" of a "Clip of the Day".
The rough cut is projected in front of the entire camp at the end of each day. During this screening campers and seniors make suggestions on how the production can be improved. TMS cleans up the footage according to the camp's direction, and posts the "Clips" to TGC's Clip of the Day Page
The Clips of the Day, and the camper generated footage have served as promotional videos for the TGC as well.
