Fundraising Tool
Applying for a grant? Coordinating a fundraising event? Approaching a potential funder? Let visual images of your organization leave a lasting impression – a combination of music, logos, pictures, and footage will do just that.
Educational Tool
Students learn how to produce a film, either through direct instruction by MnC or by their own teachers after the teachers attend a professional development session. Students improve critical thinking and teamwork skills through topic selection, research, videography, interviews, script creation, and editing. Great for non-traditional learners who blossom using kinesthetic and tactile methods. Teachers enjoy the opportunity for out-of-the-box curriculum integration. Parents and students are enthralled with the final product, a DVD, that can be enjoyed over and over. Programs can be customized to fit your school – inschool/afterschool, all year/a few sessions, etc.
Promotional Tool
What better way to sell your service/product than by bringing it to life! Potential clients view a compelling demonstration of your value. Use interviews with yourself, co-workers, and clients, along with images of you in the field and of what you're offering. From an entrepreneur seeking to increase a client-base to a band who wants to bring their music into a larger arena, a promotional DVD is a great way to get the word out there that you've arrived.
Transfer, Organize, and Preserve Physical Memories
As certain forms of technology – like records and VHS – become obsolete, you'll want to convert to the current format. Transform your out-of-date media into a more compact, accessible, and cost-effective format, the DVD or CD. DVD chapters and CD tracks allow you to easily get to a specific point, without having to rewind or search through boxes. And once digitized, items remain top-quality for years.
Create a Digital Scrapbook
A montage, visual trip down memory lane, soundtrack, music video, highlight reel, high-tech photo album, documentary, tribute piece – a digital scrapbook comes in many forms, but its core is a highly personalized, emotion-packed mixed-media presentation. Meld your home movies and/or photographs together with music and graphics to create an imaginative and professional DVD arrangement.
Special Event Tool
Whether it's a rolling credit list thanking sponsors or images of auction items, let digital media enhance your special event. It can play in the background during cocktail hour or be the climax of the soiree.
Custom Projects
There are many other ways to use digital media – DVD authoring, documentaries, CD mixes, portfolio documentation, speech archives, sporting event highlights… Have another idea? Let’s talk!

SMATTERINGS Newsletter
Due to the various contacts I've made through self-employment and being involved in a range of activities, I'm constantly being made aware of interesting opportunities, facts, events, etc. Instead of forwarding on everything as it comes in, I send out a monthly newsletter called Smatterings. Job openings, referrals (mechanics, doctors, etc.), funding opportunities, cultural events -- people have rented condos, gotten jobs, taken classes, attended events, etc. through Smatterings.
