Newark Loves You!
http://lovenewark.wordpress.com
As part of my final group project in my Creativity in Business Decisions seminar with Professor dt ogilvie [lowercase required], I helped shoot and edit a team video to promote the City of Newark experience.
Newark is in a momentous renaissance of development, arts, small business and grassroots communities. I’ve gotten fairly acquainted with the city over the years as a student and filmmaker. As a team, we all agreed that its diversity of people and activities have been overshadowed by its volatile season in the 60’s and urban decay up to the 90’s.
So our team of six people photographed and videotaped what we considered Newark’s treasures, and collaborated on a script that celebrates what we find unique and exciting. And we propose that the residents and fans of Newark should do the same — become ambassadors for the City of Newark and promote what you love about it.
