The password for this video is Paris. It must be passworded because the video features univeristy students from all over the state of Georgia, who were studying abroad in Paris. It was truly recorded on the fly. I caught students when I could—in classrooms, field trips, the dorm, or the teacher's lounge. As a result, several of the student interviews had to be chroma-keyed. The students who appear to be standing in front of a stone wall were actually standing in a dingy little study room with a white wall. In reality, the stone wall is part of my living room. Titles were created in After Effects. To play this video directly in Vimeo, please click here: Paris Study Abroad Recruiting Video

This video is a solo classroom project wherein students were instructed to create a video making a commentary on some aspect of producing content for the internet. Due to my advanced age, I remember when we all used to create our websites in Flash, and our layouts and navigation were only limited by our imaginations. Unfortunately, the party ended when Apple made the business decision that their new iPad would not support Flash, but rather HTML5, which is akin to stone knives and bear skins.

This video was recorded using my 3-year-old cell phone and is part of a series of raw little videos that were used on the RMH Facebook fan page, more than tripling click-throughs. It chronicles what the interns are doing and seeing during the filming of an episode of the Respect My Hustle weekly talk show.
