"We Feel Good" - Jessye Norman School of the Arts Homeschool Class  2021

The DDA is proud to share "We Feel Good" - the project culmination for the Fall 2021 Homeschool Teen Sessions Video Promotion class at Jessye Norman School of the Arts. This project was launched as a way to engage JNSA students with downtown Augusta as a destination and its visitors as a resource.

Total class time was around 16 hours, which included location shoots, the interview, expert visits, and in-class editing time. Liam completed editing on this video with a few hours of additional at-home work time, the logo and credit slide was added afterward. The students in the class, Liam Lamont, Sophia Collins, and LeBron Willingham all followed essentially the same process, using Liam's completed work to represent the class.

JNSA worked with community expert resources and would like to extend a special thanks to: Class Instructor: Jacob Boland, Augusta Culture Consumer: Alex Sigers, Experts: Chris Rucker, KRUHU; Katherine Bonner and Margaret Woodard, Downtown Development Authority; Mark Albertin, Scrapbook Video Productions; Mark Jenkins, Victor Kamanga, and Chris Walker, Impact Media Group
