Hi everyone.
I'm employed at the Cerebral Palsy League of Queensland - there's a day centre where disabled people can hang out. They engage in all sorts of activities - they've been to a political rally, done painting and sculpture, cooking, sailing, etc.
The centre bought a Sony EX1, an iMac and some accessories 2 years ago but haven't known how to use them. So they employed me 6 weeks ago, and I'm trying to put together a number of videos as well as a community access television show.
It's really tough. Nearly all of the clients are in wheelchairs, and they bump their wheelchairs into my tripod, can't hold the mic properly, etc. Also, they are all intellectually disabled so they can't perform very well in an interview. I have gigabytes of footage of people just sitting in their wheelchairs. Of course, it's not their fault and I don't mean to sound critical. Editing suite to the rescue.
