GRYPHON media productions

It seems so strange to see a talking head in an ad or documentary now with the person looking off slightly to one side, usually as if they are talking to someone off camera in a conversation. This was the norm for so many years, and was usually my camera 2 shot. Now the subject tells the story to the audience directly, and looks directly into the camera... that used to be considered so intense and unorthodox. I remember using a glance up to the camera as a closing show and it really rocked. Now everyone is doing it... time just keeps on ticking and things just keep on changing, and we love change!

It always warms the heart to get feedback like this!

Some material we produced with the Atlantic Canada's First Nation Help Desk a few years back is being used to prepare classroom FN content out west... so grateful to have contributed to something with a future!

Molanosa Cultural Days Part 2

Finally! Our work pops up in the most interesting places, from national meetings in Winnipeg to classrooms in southern Chile, We were in Membertou a few months ago on a video shoot and happened to hear another of our productions being screened in a provincial meeting next door. Yet, many people don't bother to subscribe, and they really don't have to. Still, this is exciting!

It is such a pleasure to be able to help with community projects we believe in! Check out this Tai Chi article, for example, one of our community videos is mentioned at the end.

Let's Talk Tai Chi - The Cape Breton Spectator The Spectator talks to Dr. Michael Milburn about the extraordinary health benefits associated with one of the "soft" martial arts.

We have been around the other side of Unama'ki this week!

In case you haven't noticed, we are doing some video work for Mi'kmaw schools this winter. It is always a pleasure to be involved with this sort of work.

We haven't heard anything from Peter for a while but this morning they sent out a relink to this last resource. Excellent for independent documentary folk. http://www.peterbroderick.com/distributionbulletins/files/0b8edd7c1f13f2336b93f518212bb996-43.html.

A couple more interviews under our belt! Guerrilla filmmaking. We can tape anywhere!

Yesterday's community video shoot in Paqtnkek Mi'kmaw Nation. We are working on a project about land based Mi'kmaw knowledge. Heading to Pictou Landing in a few minutes.

We happened to be up Membertou the other day and saw that this video was being shown in the convention centre big room. We am so happy to be able to contribute to this sort of story through the production of communication tools like this, and we have to admit we were a little proud. Video produced through the Mi'kmaq Rights Initiative and the great Kateri Stevens.
