In this video, April of AHA MEDIA speaks with Arlene, a volunter gardener who helps lend a hand to tending the garden on East Hastings between Main and Columbia in Vancouver Downtown Eastside ( DTES). Arlene says it’s very rewarding! 🙂
This was filmed by April Smith of AHA MEDIA on a Nokia N95 mobile cameraphone. April is passionate and skilled in making Nokia films by exploring mobile media production through the camera lens of a cellphone. For a better quality version of this video, please DM April Smith @AprilFilms on Twitter.
April Smith’s first film project with Rob Jones – “Industry”
As AHA MEDIA learns more about Media, we are always seeking to become better in all skill sets 🙂
Recently, April Smith had the amazing opportunities to learn more about video editing with Rob Jones, a Vancouver Music Writer.
Please see his Music Review site at http://www.clippernolan.wordpress.com
With much thanks to Rob Jones and his patience, please view our short film called “Industry”
Using a Nokia N95 cameraphone, April Smith follows a bee’s journey as it follows its instinct to make sweet honey from flowers 🙂
“Industry” is 2 minutes and 15 seconds
Most recently, Vancouver’s Mayor Gregor Robertson and Dr. David Suzuki spoke about “greening” our city and the importance of bees. Even our new Vancouver Convention Centre has beehives on the roof! 🙂
