Interview with Jeanine about Lightwork Life

Lightwork Life is a series which chronicles life at the Lightwork Ecovillage. Jeanine shot and edited the videos, with the guidance of Scott. Here is an interview so we can find out more about Jeanine's process...

What did you learn by doing Lightwork Life?

Jeanine: I learned a lot doing Lightwork Life. Scott has a lot of experience working with video, and over the course of production I picked up many tips and tricks from him. Most of my learning was in camera angles, what looks good and what - out of context - looks odd. Working with being behind the camera, I had to learn how to step away from tasks so that I could catch them for the video.

What was your inspiration for this project?

Jeanine: I love shooting and editing video, and at the start of this project I was in the process of looking for a mentor to help me learn more about it. Scott and Krista came to me with an idea to start doing a mini-documentary of the ecovillage and I jumped right on board! I guess my main inspiration is just love of the ecovillage, and of this particular technique of getting the word out there about what we do.

What kind of feedback have you received from viewers?

Jeanine: I think people like it. It's a new way of feeling connected, if you miss a work party or don't go to the ecovillage on a weekly basis, the video footage is loads of fun. It's also a way for us to remember all of the struggles we've ended up working through with ease, and the really great "ah-ha" moments we've had. It's easy to keep looking forward to our dream, but it's also a great practice to step back and notice all the work we've done so far.

Any final thoughts?

Jeanine: Yes to the continued evolution of the ecovillage! I'm constantly excited by the passion the stewards have, and the dream.

Behind-The-Scenes, December 2009

Let's take a little tour around the Lightwork Center...and see what Lightwork Productions are in process.

Ah, here Darsi and Gail are looking over a CD. At different stages of production, projects are often passed around for others to view and share input.

Hello Jeanine! Lately Jeanine has been putting the finishing touches on the Lightwork Life video series. If you haven't seen any episodes yet, be sure to check it out in the Lightwork Videos section!

Here's Julia, looks like she's editing some video, too. As you can see this workspace can be easily put away and converted into a closet. She calls it the video editing compartment.

And lets end off our visit by saying hi to Keith. What are you working on today? Looks like he's writing code. Another valuable contribution to Lightwork Productions.

That concludes our little tour for today...thanks for stopping by!

Sacred Love Pop CD Release, November 8, 2009

The Lightwork Band's latest CD, Sacred Love Pop is released! A crew came to celebrate the CD and the musical creation process was also explored.

The Lightwork sanctuary was transformed into a CD appreciation zone. Here, the CD sits in it's place of honour.

The music system was set up to maximize the full audio experience. Speakers were set up in stereo to achieve optimal listening conditions.

As a member of the Lightwork Band, Scott enjoys the fruits of his labours by sharing his musical creation with friends, and also enjoys a fruity virgin drink.

Listeners sit around the stereo system to enjoy the new tunes and thoroughly discuss them as well.

It is a toe tapping affair.

To refresh the palate there is sacred love POP, the drink. Yum.

And cheezies! Much of the decor is in theme with the album art, in hues of pink and orange.

Now that the listeners are refreshed and have explored the album thoroughly, it's time to bust a move!

The Lightwork Band's songs are released to the world, and greeted by enthusiastic dancers.

The album proves to be 100% danceable!

Now it must by carefully aligned and cut to fit.

The CD is lookin' good, the process is working!

Scott is happy with the process.
