Still in the game |

After a long, long pre-production stage we are finally beginning to act as film makers again. For a second there, I was starting to feel like a telemarketer spreading the word about a year-end sale. We bought the camera and have begun making some videos. Getting used to the equipment has been somewhat rocky, like trying to pick up juggling knives after a half-year hiatus but its all coming back easily in the form of some cool videos.
The 
first video we made was in response to Mel Gibson and his public opinion on Jews and the holocaust. We set out with our camera, microphone, and people skills to put together a segment we called 'Apocalypto at the Promenade'. We found that most people would feel comfortable supporting Gibson by seeing his new movie despite his history of open sexism and anti-Semitism. The most common theme we noticed in our interviewees was that they were not bothered by Gibson because he has never offended their personal views, religion, or heritage. This clearly speaks to a greater problem in our society, which is ineptness to empathize and act for people in situations outside of one's direct line of vision or experience. This video can be seen in our videos section or on Current.tv. Flex your power by voting for our segment to be on TV!
Our 
second video was just a fun art/animation piece where the Three Cities logo comes to life right in front of your eyes. Please check it out, also on our videos section.
Alright my people, until next time...
