Speak Truth to Power

My Speak Truth to Power Defenders were Elizabeth and Patrick Shores. I got introduced to them through Mr. Currin. Reflecting back on the project it was an overwhelming success. I learned how to compose a stop motion video. It was really time consuming but it was completely worth it. I cut up letters and pictures and I recorded it fully through. I uploaded it into IMovie and I cut my hand out of each shot. The amount of attention I got for this video was an awesome experience. Elizabeth even wrote me a letter of recommendation. After submitting the video to the Speak Truth to Power contest, it received a gold honorable mention. I got the opportunity to present my project do the Alden Board of Education. The project was on the Human Right of diminishing supply of water in countries. Overall I learned how much of a serious problem this subject really is. Elizabeth and Patrick has invented a water purifier to give countries the opportunity to clean water. They have traveled to numerous different countries giving everyone another chance. The speeches Elizabeth has given are so inspiring. In the video I created I incorporated many different things including, a voice over, pictures, videos and many other things. After I completed it and got all the attention I wished I could’ve made it better and improve the quality of the video. Later after the video was finished we had to compose an essay on the different ways this human right effected specific concepts.  This project was a huge success and this is something I really will remember. I really enjoyed putting this together, I took a huge interest into it. I also put a lot of time and effort into it.
