Working with the Bongo Dox team

My name is Jakob Nielsen and I have had the privilege of working with the Bongo Dox team for the last week, teaching them various aspects of movie production. The Bongodox team consists of young, hardworking, and talented people who are on their way to becoming professional filmmakers. To sharpen the teams abilities and nurture their creativity, we go through small exercises everyday; writing, filming and editing small films.

We have finished a few films but at the movement our internet is not at YouTube capacity, so you will have to wait a little to see some of the short films, that among others, include an introduction to the Bongo Camp, and an action packed kung fu battle, called Manyoga Style (Snake Style).
The next couple of days we will work with one of the core themes for the Bongo Dox team; HIV/AIDS. The participants have been discussing ideas for a small video campaign concerning the issue, and the next couple of days, we are going to make them come to life and compose small films for a campaign.

The Bongo Camp is truly and amazing place, and right now we are in the editing face of a movie that displays all of the beautiful nature that surrounds us. On this project we have my esteemed colleague Mr. Shime in charge of the editing, and the result is looking really good so far.

The team has really progressed over the last couple of days both in the class room working with theory, in the field filming, and in the editing room. We will keep you updated and hopefully be ready to upload some movies soon.
