Sweet school starts up again tommorow and our Film Class should have lots of new shiny equipment from some Paid Commercials we did. Do to some crappy budget management and poor care of materials we ended up with a bunch of junk and very little stuff this year. We only had ONE Mac computer that was editing material. But thankfully we just Purchased another Mac with a DVD-Burner, Weve got another G4 coming in, Another Gl1 might be on the way (We have one right now), and I think were getting 10 E-Macs which would be kicking.

High school has come a long way since I was in (in the 70s!). My middle school had a 'state-of-the-art' TV production class with tube cameras and VTRs (video TAPE recorders, not cassettes!). I was a camera operator and sports-caster.
But when I got to our high school, they had nothing for tv/film studies.
Well, maybe not nothing - we had a couple of 16mm projectors so students could watch some old jumpy, grainy movies on sex-education ('the babies come out of this hole') and life in the 21st century ('In the year 2000, everyone will have their own flying automobile')!
To be honest - I'm not sure if the high schools in this area have filmmaking classes or not even today.
Might be interesting to know for sure . . . hmmm.
