this is the last day of a seven week workshop that the fry museum of art organized with direc and they've spent the time exploring the us or terrorists neighborhood and collecting different kinds of sound and all of the the recordings that they made are going to now go into an exhibition at the think the students learned some technical skills but equally importantly is you know they were able to really kind of like explore the neighborhood and to really learn how to kind of think critically about the city and what what it means to live in a community so it's a good kind of combination of learn some computer skills learning some media skills but also learning some critical thinking skills so i think it's a really wonderful experience  for the students speaking personally it was an amazing experience working with these kids none of whom i'd never met before and just i learned an incredible amount and was continuously impressed with how hard they worked and just how creative and and smart they were so i think i know i'm feeling really proud of what we've accomplished here and i'm really looking forward to seeing all of their work presented at the friar museum in the coming months well this is so days the last day for this workshop but i think you know i'm really excited about doing more work like this and continuing the relationships that we've built with them r t i with wrecked and with the fry hoping that this is not the end of this project but rather will be doing additional workshops and building new collaboration with different people in different organizations over the  my name is dr paul jackson and i'm sitting in the studio of multimedia resource training institute located in seattle washington the corner of twenty third in jackson and the problem not and i'm an instructor actually in the studio i've taught classes class and then we will be able offer classes depending on how many people register and what you are interested in learning multimedia resource training institute has a lot of highly skilled professional people that can train in a number of different things positive and really beneficial event and again multimedia resource training institute can provide those services to you at a low cost so we go beyond just the classroom again we can teach you how to create videos how to shoot how to edit storyboard scripts write the whole thing we can actually come to you to help you tell your story were you happen to be so you don't this is sarah we have to come down to the studio if you want to do something remotely we could do that also inner disciplinary studies agree i sort of talk a little bit about multimedia my experiences with it in my familiar with it into sick knowledge the importance of it i've done a lot of involvement with video production and graphic design my father is entrepreneur who owns a video production company and is very close to a lot of other individuals who are in within the industry and i've done a lot of projects which people our community and and express just really raise awareness on this cause the time so that was my first first introduction to video production but later on now that i became familiar with the programs in which allow you the very once you become more familiar with the software i feel it becomes a lot more interesting because we have a tendency to walk away and ignore things that are complicated but when your brain is able to master understand the way to something worse  for the company i'm up and coming which is pretty much a use involved organization that promotes used music in a very just all about positivity and being positive role models for you and also i've had a lot  involvement with just doing graphic design for all different types of dance advance and just a lot of familiar with different projects for graphic design as well but honestly i have to say that i do not pressure as much as i should because honestly living in the year two thousand and thirteen with how much technology we have access to there's no reason why any of us should have or shouldn't be participating in  where we have to look back and read a lot of books which explain you know what happened back then and i actually believe that people with different people have different systems of learning in other words different people learn in different ways you know some people need you know literally re something in order to understand it some people need to see something in order to understand it some people need to hear something in order to understand it and i'll sometimes like the maginot know what would history be like if we literally could see the video footage you know we see what they say in the books you know we see with you know people who toss it as this is what they say what happened in history but imagine if we literally got to see what happened with video footage now we all know that that's impossible because there were such technology back then but now if you think about it we do have access to such technology and one hundred two hundred three hundred years from now we're going to be looking back at what we're doing today as history so the opportunities in which we took the chance to film and use the things that we have access to as far as technology are things that we're going to look back and actually see those things that we failed to utilize our technology for and just you know we'll get to it later and you know not worry about how to utilize the technology that we have access to things that we're going to miss out on because one day we're going to be talking about the year two thousand and thirteen and what we're involved with and what we're doing so multimedia to me is one of the most important parts of our societies today is going to give us the ability to not only understand technology our cells you know that we're interacting with but also look back in time and see what life was like during this time and be able to show the next generation the next generation after that what life was like back then and they're able to learn from the mistakes we made and also just  benefit from in all different types of ways you know there's so many things that we just have to have to take advantage of and our technology is definitely one of them but for the right reasons so with with great response of it with great power comes great  very very appreciative for being able to to witness such a situation that provides great opportunities for used to have interactions with technology as such which they usually will not have a lot of students have a passion for something law students have things in which they want to pursue and if they don't have access to the things that allow them to pursue with their passion about that is useless and if it wasn't for organizations like the m m r i students wouldn't be able to access the technology which we have and they're giving students stop assuming to have access to that so i feel like this is a very very great great chance for students to learn very valuable skills in have the chance to have access to such programs and organizations and so taking the time to be a part of these type institution is going to make a difference to how far you go in life because you're going to be able to offer more abilities skill in just knowledge because you took the time you lies these positive programs that are provided to the public the people the youth and so i'm just very glad that the chance to you know you lies in myself and and really see what opportunities are out there because i mean if you don't take the chance to step step out and see what's available you may never learn anything you know places like this that are really going to make our youth the next generation to make a difference more than a generation for ourselves
