Hannah who is a recent graduate of Baptist Bible College and doing short term missionary work already was looking to have opportunity to do missions and learn how to put a multimedia package together by herself.

Hannah took on a difficult assignment of working with a lady who had been a prostitute and is now working with prostitutes trying to help them off the streets. She couldn't show the prostitutes faces and had to find creative ways to create b-roll for her project.

Using music and some creative photography she put together a great project. Take a look at it here.

Hannah was using many different techniques of creating a mood. She was adjusting exposure on her photos to be sure she was capturing that night atmosphere of the women working on the streets. Picking music that fit the piece was also difficult.

I think she did a great job and can't wait to see her next project.

If you think you are ready to learn to put it all together and want to learn how to do multimedia, then send me a note so you are on my email list. I will be shortly putting up my workshops for next year. Here is my email Stanley@StanleyLeary.com.

All comments are reviewed.This is done primarily to eliminate spamming. Please be patient, I maybe on assignment and unable to review right away.

But to increase meaningful conversation, sometimes it’s necessary to reduce the not-so-meaningful bits. Here are the kinds of things we’ve been deleting in recent posts. Please avoid these types of comments:

One-word comments like “Cool!” or “Thanks!” While we appreciate the congrats, we’d love to hear more about what exactly you love, and (even more importantly) why.

Shameless self-promotion. Comments that contain links to your site within the body or otherwise encourage folks to visit your blog are a no-no. If you’d like to increase traffic to your blog, there are other places than here to do that.

Multiple comments by one author. We’re glad you want to be engaged, but please give others a chance to speak, too.

Really long comments. Let’s just say that if you need to take more than three breaths to read your comment, it’s probably too long.
