Digital Video

As part of the Visualization in Anthropology course, I have created a one minute movie trailer for the movie RezRobics used for the Native American Showcase film entry in the Fargo Film Festival 2002. I have also provided a 3 minute movie edited from a video provided by Spatial Data Services Inc. (SDS) documenting their work in the data collection processes in order to reconstruct a Mandan earthlodge located at Ft. Lincoln State Park just south of Mandan, ND. The three minute video that I have edited was used by Dr. Jeffrey T. Clark for the computer applications in archaeology conference in Crete.

View the movie trailer for Pam Belgrade (Turtle Mountain Chippewa) and Gary Rhine's film entry "Rez-Robics for Couch Potato Skins" starring Elaine Mills (Northern Exposure) and Drew LaCapa.

The editing process began by taking the video in Adobe Photoshop 6.0 and run through the video selecting pertenaint shots to capture the essence of the video. After scenes were selected and save or deleted I was left with a raw clips with no cohesion to each other. It was my task to take these individual clips and tie them into each other using a series of transitions to make a coherent trailer to be displayed on the Fargo Film Festival website. After the completion of the editing process the trailer was saved in a few different formats which include those listed below.

This is an eductional video explaining the significance of diabetes in the Native American society and the importance that proper diet and exercise has on individuals with diabetes in order to maintain the proper state of health. In the video Drew LaCapa is faced with the realization that he must examine his lifestyle and make healthy changes to ensure a healthy life.
