The Fenner Renewable Energy Education Center (F.R.E.E. Center) is a place where science and technology come to life, where kids can learn about renewable energy sources by standing right next to them. I was commissioned by the F.R.E.E. Center after they had caught wind (pun intended) of my successful mini documentary that I had created for the Cazenovia Public Library and Museum. The F.R.E.E. Center’s goal was to produce a video that would act as a resource to teachers while they taught classes on renewable energy and to entice schools to run field trips to the the F.R.E.E. Center.
F.R.E.E. Center President, Phil Rose headed the project and was the main organizer of this video project. I’m so glad that I was able to provide Phil insight from my previous mini documentary project with the Cazenovia Public Library. The number one concept I learned from the library project was that planning out a specific order of events and scripts for each presenter goes a long ways. Our preparation really shined on filming day as each presenter arrived on site during their appointed filming session with their practiced script. I also worked with the talented Zak Winokur on shot lists and equipment as we both had great filming resources that complemented each other. It was fantastic Zak and I to have separate tasks to best capture each presenter. It was a blast to work with Phil Rose and Zak Winokur to create this information packed film and I know that the F.R.E.E. Center will put it to good use as hundreds of children and adults alike come to visit.
