Multimedia Series: PHA Property Auction Causes a Stir

In October I went to a informational community meeting meant to educate Philadelphia residents about the auction of 400 Philadelphia Housing Authority properties. It was immediately clear that local residents were upset by the auction. The following series of multimedia pieces follows the auction and the differing opinions.

The series combines text articles with photo, audio and video segments.

Multimedia Storytelling: Wooden Shoe Books

In the Multimedia Storytelling course I took in the spring semester of 2011 we revisited Final Cut Pro. For my video project I met with an employee of Wooden Shoe Books to learn more about the anarchist bookstore tucked away on Philadelphia’s South Street.
