good evening you're watching access for all i'm your host korean master and we have a famous guest today he is a media consultant and eight years and i have worked in public access for twenty one so i've known you for twenty one we've known each other now twenty one years yeah yeah and you know working in what you media you know as and you know the eyes that we used to see you know seventy five is my your birth so you do the math that tells you how i was i mean because i'm a media head let me get i love teaching people new things but i love teaching people with an emphasis on them understanding i think that's really important that you know we can teach people new things all the time but if they're not walking away understanding wh know as an educator as an instructor you know it's not to say that your job is not well done it's just not complete because your students or anyone that you're teaching should walk away feeling empowered inspired and then you know they walk away also have a lot of aha moments so that when they come to you the next time there's new russians in you know they want to continue you know you have a knack for teaching like you make people feel comfortable and you have patience which is great because that's very important for a teacher oh absolutely and when we're teaching and talking about technology and that's amongst a vast range of age groups that the technology sometimes is so intense and if you're using a lot of of technical terms it intimidates people i always love taking techno jargon and translating  it's a playing english you know and they like when you still translate it's a plain english and you see some students that they're common still like that's my goal the opportunity where i use the you know an analogy that's real life and when you can use a real life analogy that's when the light bulb really light fires up and they're just like oh no you know you know i study a lot so sometimes i feel like i almost do it i can do it and struggle but i never felt like i owned it and until you own it you don't know it right right and that's where it comes when you have to have a lot of on belief in yourself you know a lot of us are doing things that we didn't think we were capable of doing especially now new midpoint of st century where we're really immersed in technology and immersed in a lot of different  venue's in media you know from software to hardware all where a lot of us ally or i never thought i would be doing this so you know there's that in conjunction with learning the new things but also applying those skills and i think one of the big things that people need to remember is that it's repetition and that and having patience with yourself at the same time because sometimes you feel like you know like that your little you know the little go for a new car we would just go around and around and around the globe a hamster but at the same time you're building up that foundation to understand what is it you just learned and applying it and then a lot of times we have also been aha moments when we're doing something and we get that one little piece of help from somebody in your life that way and that's it you know right from the up well you know it's like breathing you don't think about it you just do it i know and that's why i i worked in production you know that was when we used to also teach so it was nice to touch the equipment in help people like yourselves and others to set up studios and you know help them with tape you know back then we had tape to tape editing the linear edit systems and you know then the transition to non linear editing i like people you know i think that's another important skill that if you're going to teach and educate people that you have to like people you  know and have patience because not everyone learns at the same rate of speed some of us learn more slowly some of us like when they're talked to down to sometimes zack play a lot of a lot of teachers talk to you as if you'll never learn around and that is a bad teacher and i don't know why they have that attitude because it discourages people it makes them angry at the person that's trying to teach a lot of times that source of the energy is from lack of patience you know if you don't have patience teaching is not something you should partake in because again especially now of what's so much information that you have to want as a teacher decipher downlow understand it and then you know literally we're going to take it back so that the persons who you are teaching you know if you don't have patience for that and you don't have the ability in terms of energy to make a person feel like they're welcome then your effort as a teacher is not going to be a successful one because you want your students to walk away feeling like one they have your trust because they're in trusting you as the teacher to download them with this information to make them feel capable and that's really really important right you know when i st came to  man which was twenty eight years girl when i was a baby and i walked into the control room and i looked at all monitors and i said oh my god i'll never learn this this looks like a cop out and there are plenty big time and reality like i sat in the control room watching for a bad two years before i started i wrecked it oh yeah and i people come here and i think oh i'm going to learn like bad i don't you know i i don't consider myself stupid but i think it takes time to learn the time you have to give yourself the time and it as you said the repetition is very important that's why it's very important that if someone does come here to learn anything right that they keep doing it oh you don't come once or twice you have to help on the the show you have to keep practicing and you must keep your skills oh totally yeah and what i love all working in the media education department here i mean in tiffany simply blown who's the manager of media education she came in and i just really love her vision the fact that you know her mantra is you know come in here mess up you know take the skills that we teach you and get a push in those buttons and you know shake the rust off you know because a lot of us feel like oh gosh ok now i'm by myself this i don't know anything is ok to not know but i the fact that you have to build their foundation and then as time goes on and the more you use these these facilities and things like that you'll look back one day and just say oh man i don't know when i used of equipment the learning continues because you know we change out of quick math and things like that there's more things to learn but the basic skill set still remains the same you know like when you know how to direct a technical director or you know is hard is it is easy but i know very much interested in the technical poison and we're not allowed to touch every day right so i know the equipment can do certain they use that we don't have access to add it drives me crazy but i don't like fooling around if i don't know something like what if someone will say and it's frustrating when people will not allow you to learn very yes yes especially in a viral like this it's important to people are allowed to learn and learn constantly and consistently because new knowledge allows this journey to be an easier one you know like a lot of people will say to me well you know everything i don't know what none of us know as i do because right st of all technology is changing so rapidly agreed i i there was a time when i study every morning which i don't do well or i just do it on the weekends right but you every day something new absolutely and i think now we're in a place where  some things are designed to stay and certain things are fads so yeah it's important to try to stay on top of the technology and see where things are going where do these trends stay at the day we get dizzy watching and you can say i think it's calmed down but there are still some people who can still continue to do all the animation animation is good when it makes sense but what does what it takes away from the show and you're concentrating just on the animation it does what doesn't work for me it in all honesty it is a war for a lot of people because it's important as you go through this journey of production and everything balance no one saying don't enemy but the thing is that with the whole production of the whole show becomes you know oh this is now the twenty eight minute gloria animation hour we're going to have to be gloria for two hundred and eighty hour with a fifty eight minutes why not you know and you're kind of like who ok this is a bit much you know and we're also in a time where people's attention spans are shorter and so it is important that if you are content creator like you know most of us create content we then have to develop and implement into our pre production planning the fact that people's attention spans a shorter so then how do you create content that is palatable to someone with a short attention span well you know i wonder about that if you have a really good story you can understanding i think most of the material today does not call for hurried along attention span because a lot of it is boring yeah and you have to be very loring absolutely because there's so much on it but like i've been going to see films a lot and i'm really disappointed in most of the films especially the ones with all the bang suit because they're all the say yeah and i don't understand why people are so interested in maybe it's just  especially when we talk about corporate media corporate media their you know b s formulations in the years of test studies of people they interview and do like you know  theater to sit down for what you know but i think this is where it opens up another venue that we're seeing a lot of independent producers go and create content where it fits the needs of what we want you know which is something keeps our attention span not short but you know engaged to create the type of content that warrants for people to feel connected to the material you know more people want to hear about real life things nobody wants you know as the oracle says in the matrix you know this fake crap you know it's people want real point you want tangible things that they can relate to you want the story yes and so on and a lot of times they just use the animation and it's repetition i mean and there's nothing behind and they're all the say ye just recently saw the book club oh it was very very cute very funny and it's been a long time since i laughed and i like mostly serious  thriller drama but this was good nice nice anyway what do you working on projects of your own one project that i'm working on right now is i had developed a workshop under a series that i call project get your life and the st workshop under project get your life is the digital etiquette  workshop i rolled it out in april and the reason why i developed it is because my younger siblings who are in their early twenty's i just met yes you just heard my baby sister yes so she's she's a baby she's twenty and a half now  they're very engaged in social media of and i know when i became engaged to social media when it was just facebook of one of my mentors said to me  you have to learn to be cautious on how you utilize social media because one day when you apply for jobs or when you go who are o you know career moves they're going to look at your social media and here it is fast forward two thousand and eighteen and literally it was like you know it was like a prophecy it was like the whole entire thing  said true and i was just like walls so i developed this workshop to give people understand two things the technology involved with the utilization of social media so how everyone now is on their smartphones or anything this internet enabled where they access social media but then to understand more from a human standpoint the importance to just communicate effectively and to communicate with compassion and of consciousness because now more than ever you have to understand no time ever you have to say what you mean and mean what you say because you definitely can't take it back you know some people are under the impression that when they use their social media they say well when my account is private and i'm like  because anytime you using a service that you don't own them you know and i mean and that goes multi faceted from the cell phone that you either are purchased purchasing or paying off on the network that operates on you don't own any parts of that on the account on your facebook your twitter or your instagram or your snap chat or whatever the case may be it's all computer based and meaning it's attached to a server and the fact that even if certain things are not permanent like snap chat people take screenshots so if you're the kind of person who likes to do haphazard things could have snap chat it and you know screenshot it save it or you know as the young people now call it you know people are collecting receipts what really says meaning that you know if you are quote unquote a goody two shoes of someone who comes across as righteous but you don't on rights as things then people collect these screenshots and different little things of your social media activity and they present it as quote unquote evidence or in the hood they call it receipts you know now you are here look at my booty for so the thing is a set of being the architect of your own demise learn how to utilize social media and technology appropriately and take thought of yourself you know if you noted these things you don't want to be associated with them one don't do it but you know again social media is another way to people express themselves so i understand that concept too so when i created the workshop i just wanted to bring awareness to a lot of things that people think they have privacy on and you know it's a bring that light so the forefront the know you don't and in going forward how do you navigate social media and the technology that is utilize with it to be responsible you know c y a you know and to live your life effectively you know but to also get back to just old school communicating you know instead of like in you like you and i sitting this close in proximity to one another i've seen people not put their smart devices down and they could be talking to the person right in front of and forty five dollars i was asked to do so i'm excited i'm going to be doing now i'll come watch yeah you know because a lot of us are now engaging in social media  you know it's not just the young people's thing a lot of people using it because it's a great and effective way to communicate with people to keep in touch of folks or to keep abreast on you know the current to do's of what folks are doing well you know i but also i realize you know what i want to share i want to share something with usual personally i don't want to put it out there for the whole world is there and i don't understand these people who are taking pictures and themselves every five seconds and i am i here i'm here i'm here because people don't have time like i don't have time to go on anyone's facebook page i sit a life that exists outside of as i love to call it the matrix you know i mean like you're not plugged in constantly and consistently but unfortunately there are quite a few people in our society that they do have time to do that and the thing is is that you know the likes the followers the validation the acceptance they get from you know the every five minutes s year you have to be mindful when you do that because you know honestly the selfie is innocent it's the other stuff that you start to see now with the selfies go extra you know what i mean and then the thing is that some people use social media because of the wow factor that's involved you know like if you've been at the gym for an hour and then all of  situation you know some people really are infatuated with that kind of attention but the flip side of that is is that you know you know if you have next you know or for some of the children all the way mickey you know and this is all emblazoned on your social media account you know if you go to their job interview and they ask you to log in then you know you show and pecks and yeah you know it isn't or kind of stuff you know that's not a good look for you and the thing is this some people say oh well you know it's my counsel i can delete it but you know you can't because there is a server connected to another server connected to another server that is saving a backup and a backup of a backup because again redundancy is very prevalent in the computer world because if something fails it still needs to be up and so you know you've got to start to understand no one's asking you to be you know the new the st century but you just have to have some kind of common sense an understanding of how social media and technology works which is what social media is driven off of the technology the what the iphone can do you know for the folks who are teen android you know like the smart phones and everything they are so evolved and so advanced now you know and with certain you know you can make the already powerful devices even more powerful and you know folks have created films on smartphones like tangerine is one film that i think of that comes to the top of my head right away with those was shot on i phones you know what i mean bentley the car company they took i phones i pads i devices and attachments like different rigs and things like that and they turned out like documentary style commercials with devices so yeah it is really an interesting time and they are improving the tech absolutely every time as i was amazed at the the lighting and the only thing
