I have been giving this video assignment a considerable amount of thought. I want to show some aspect of my life, but I don't want to tell the story that I am going to use for my final project. Originally, I was going to video the high school where I work; the physical building, the people in it and their various jobs, my classes; however, I couldn't come up with an angle that would be entertaining enough for me to spend that kind of time. I would have had to take the footage this week, and I was sick for most of it (although I did work).
As the creative writing teacher at the high school, I inherited a wonder guest poet series. I wish I had video of all the guest writers who come into my classes. Each semester I have people like Moira Egan, James Taylor, Clarinda Harriss, Michael Fallon, Gary Blankenburg, Michael Salcman, Katelyn Cohen, and Danny DiCrispino. That would make an amazing video. James Taylor even lays on a bed of nails at the finale of his presentation. Perhaps I will video my guests in the future.
