The First Video

By: Bruno Garcez | 06/20/2010

Yesterday was the first class of the Mural citizen journalist project.

We got to see the very basics of video.

But one of our students, Cacau Ras, who already has a good experience in video producing, already produced a little teaser of the first lesson.

If he's coming up with things like that by now, I wonder what he'll be doing next.

Next week, we'll come up with some different video tasks for all the students to undergo.

I'm looking forward to it.
