Professor Raul Roman invited me to his class at SAIS (School for Advanced International Studies), Johns Hopkins University, to present and discuss our work with video in research and evaluation.
The in-class assignment consisted of a case-study about Build Change, an NGO that focuses on earthquake resistant construction, about to launch in Haiti. Students needed to develop a research and evaluation plan that integrated video.
Professor and Students… quite impressive. And we had a lot of fun.

We encourage clients to start working with video themselves no matter how frustrating it might be at first. And they know we’re always there to guide and support. For example, an email from a client…
“Honey,
I understand that the pins go to the holes, but if the pins are INSIDE
the core box, and the holes are also INSIDE the other box, so that
neither the pins nor the holes come out, I guess there is something
wrong…
Attached, a clarifying picture…”
(this is a picture… there is no video.)
