Today is the last day of April. April was good, but I’m looking forward to the rest of the year.
I haven’t posted in a while, but feel inspired today. I’m posting today for a couple of reasons: 1) As an example for my friends on the McHi Class of ’71 Yahoo mailing list and 2) I’m preparing for a training session this evening at the Pleasant View Elementary School in Providence. I will be delivering the first of four Digital Literacy modules to parents of school children. I’ll be doing the same tomorrow evening at a local charter school (Times Squared Academy).
For the past several months, I’ve been trying to develop a portfolio to demonstrate my evolving video production capabilities. I’ve uploaded numerous videos to YouTube. One of my favorites is Mr. Rhody. I shot it on the spur of the moment, so it’s a little rough. Last October, I attended Homecoming festivities at Rhode Island College, in Providence. I didn’t realize that Charlie Hall’s Ocean State Follies would be performing that day. The Ocean State Follies performed several skits that poke fun of Rhode Island — it’s people, culture and local politics. Charlie Hall saw that I had a camera in my hands (my Canon T3i) and asked if I would capture their live performance. So I did. My favorite is Mr. Rhody, which pokes fun of the local dialect (Cranston Rhode Island-ese, in particular). I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Okay… gotta get posting… this is a tough week. I’m working on a training project. I’ve been a technical/applications trainer for many years — it’s what pays the bills. This week I’ve been getting trained myself on a web-based application that is being rolled out to a New England state agency. Read the rest of this entry »
Hello and welcome to the Small Time Video website. My name is Ramon and this is my first post. Expect to see many changes in the “look & feel” of the website over time as I learn more about WordPress. The intent of this site is to showcase my web videos and offer my services as a web video producer. My immediate next step is to map my registered domain (www.smalltimevideo.com). I have already posted many of my videos on Vimeo (www.vimeo.com/smalltimevideo) and YouTube (www.youtube.com/ramgar52) and I continue to build my portfolio.
