Just released: a promotional piece for the International Education program in the Gulf Islands School District. Produced with former GISS student and now Vancouver videographer, Eric Peterson. There’s a nice look at the area, the school (GISS), and the kids; and about 160 of my photos. About 3 and one half minutes.

Thanks for the off-line comment Philip. It was great working with Eric on this project and, as always, great working with the awesome kids and staff at GISS.
this barrage of your images is an overwhelming testament to your prodigious talent
Thanks Rick!
Outstanding! Love the sound effects overlaid on the music. And Rick’s comment nailed it regarding the photography.
Eric’s work on the image timing, music and sound effects! Thanks from both of us. And to Scott for having the faith to let us have at it…
Good work with your collaborators on this one, John!
Thanks.
Oh my! This beautifully powerful piece has brought tears to my eyes! I am so ever thankful to have raised my two grown children in this incredible community of Salt Spring Island. Thank you Fernwood, Middle and Gulf Islands Senior Secondary Schools….and the teachers like you John, that leave a lasting impression on the kids and parents, too.
Oh my yourself! Thanks for this. Think I’ll email it to my pals in Victoria ;-)
This fills up my heart. Great work, John and all the others you worked with.
Thanks Gayle.
This encapsulates the community on Salt Spring. The people shots were super – and I don’t think I have ever seen a school looking so immaculate!
Thanks. GISS does look great for a 20 year old building. Actually ‘buildings’ as it more a campus-like collection of buildings.
