JBAvideo
Short videos produced in Quinninup to draw awareness to the threats to the local forest, wetlands and the local communities from current and planned mining proposals.
Although my personal work is with black and white film I now use digital video as this has become the lingua franca of our age, and we need to communicate..
Videos in production are about Unicup wetlands, peat loss through innapropriate use of fire and an introductory video about JBAvideo intentions and means.
Rae and I need other people to work cooperatively on video and exhibituon projects: working groups dedicated to using photography, video and writing to help protect what little is left of the natural environment. Dedicated researchers, writers, script writers, video recorders, photographers, painters, photo-drone operators, sound recordists, video editors and exhibition curators who can work towards a common goal. By this I do not mean committee script writing, directing or editing, as only one person can do this for any given project. (Groups of people wanting a hand in everything never works - been there, done that and the T shirt wore out in the early nineteen seventies.) Although one person can take several roles, like script writer and video editor.
A style sheet for JBAvideo has been written, about approaches to visual and sound production, title fonts etc. This is to keep a house style and production standards.
