In this ASL vlog by Heidi Zimmer, she proposes some parallels between eco-crusaders and the struggles of the deaf community. Cities are a blur of people and cars - nature brings serenity and calmness, and the same goes for ASL to the Deaf community. Heidi loves being in nature, but more Deaf people are in cities. Let's push cities to be more eco-friendly, and the same for spreading ASL awareness! Greedy companies that don't care for the environment are the same as cochlear corporations who don't care for the Deaf community. Our biggest challenge is empowering ourselves and educating them!

Can't see your your face and hands against the bright sun.
ReplyDeleteanonymous,
ReplyDeleteheidi didn't film/produce this vlog. it was me, and i definitely learned a few things about the sun and filming from this vlog.
i believe the problem lies with how i compress the vlog, because in its original form, the vlog looks sharp and outlined. after compression, the vlog looks blurry. if someone can help me compress the original video without losing too much video quality, i am happy to redo this vlog!

Heidi... WOW. Keep it up with good work.. I love how you see about the nature and Deaf... SMile..
ReplyDeleteRaychelle! Beleive me when you see my first few video.. You will be on the floor and laughing to death.. I probably have to do the CPR on you.. We learn everyday about how to shoot video/film. You learned about where to place your camera when you are outside.. Sun is like the mountain you can't move. You have to be creative around Sun.. Sun can be top light, kicker lighting, back light, and many more. Never shoot at noon... You will see shadows under eyes.. The beauty of lights tend to be a few hours after sunrise and a few hours before sunset.
Both of you will enjoy the nature lot more especially with compositing the nature into the frame.

hahaha... thanks for ur advice, aidan! boy, i have a long way to go... that vlog with heidi was really last minute. i happened to bump into her at gallaudet homecoming and told her i'd run home and get a camcorder... when i got back... gallaudet had a bomb threat - so everyone had to stay off campus. that's why we were stuck on the street. you can see the gallaudet fence behind heidi. i didn't want to film her with the umm, aged townhouses across florida avenue! ha. :)
