[krapolaux]

Hello ppl! how's life?
Well I m not sure is this section is the right one, let's try:

WEll the reason that Im writing at the moment its because I've started talking with community here inmy area, and seems like they are interested to try some visual-workshops with young people.

Im a VJ my self and work with mutlimedia but Im not a teacher.:idea: Ive talking about this with ppl in N.Y who also has done this experience but they dont have too much to share with me beacuse its still a young subject, " its try and error-method" so far...:Smoking:


The difficult part here I believe, it's to keep it simple and easy... ;)
Not everyone may want to be a VJ, but everyone will want to have a good time and knows more about multiemdia isnt it? :hippy: :hippy:

Do you have some ideas, some practical things, methology that you 've beeing using with young people that want to learn more about the subject (VJ-knowledge)? :))
or maybe want to brainstorm some ideas here?

Gracias for listening! :grouphug:

young people generally don't know much about VJing so don't expect any prior knowledge. many of them will not understand what a VJ is or does (if they are too young to go into nightclubs then they probably haven't even seen any vjing) if you fail to explain it in their terms they will not be interested an you will find it very hard.

so talk about music videos and animations / cartoons / video games etc etc. get them into the idea of producing little clips that can be put together into a music video. let them film each other being stupid (kids love filming each other) look at narrative ideas and non narrative ideas (again use music videos to explain)
