Lights (sometimes)... plenty of camera and action

By now many of you have seen the video of the Florence delegation that was published on youtube.com a week ago. If you can get through the the elementary video editing and the shaky camera hand without a mild case of vertigo, you will see how much the group was able to accomplish during their nine days in Bayonnais. The background track is "Magdalena" by Sergio Mendes, and although it is Brazilian, I felt like it was suitable for the tone of the video. Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-W_Qjw1eFic


Although any production company would tell you that it is box-office suicide to release two blockbusters on the same weekend, I am going to take that chance. After all, New Line Cinema and Touchstone Pictures would have nothing to do with these independent endeavors. The second video features the advanced class of our "Institut d'Amelioration Linguistique de Bayonnais". Established by Rochenel Charles, Mislet St. Louis, and I in early February 2007, the nightly class teaches principles of grammar, conversational English and occasionally a song like the one you are about to witness: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y11jXf0C82o

You must be doing a great job teaching them English. The Amazing Grace video is wonderful. Keep up the work.
