RCMP Heritage Centre: Part 1

During my time at film school in Regina, SK the RCMP museum got a massive overhaul. I remember going when it was located in a small and cramped building on the Depot Division compound. The difference between that and the impressive new RCMP Heritage Centre is night and day.

The RCMP Academy is located in Regina, Saskatchewan so the brand new heritage centre is a multi-million dollar investment intended to create a new tourist attraction and historical showcase for the city. I visited the new centre in the summer of 2007 when my parents came to visit. I always get inspired by history, and I figured it wouldn't hurt to share a bit of Canadiana.

Experimental Film Course Syllabus

For a long time I've had it in my head that I'd share some of the notes that I've held onto since film school.  Given that all of these assignments have now been uploaded, I figured the syllabus from Film 486: Experimental Film Production, was as good a place to start as any.  Check out the list of projects we were assigned in the fall semester of 2006, and then check out my links below to see what I did for each one.  


Video Collage

For this one I took it upon myself to bring new meaning to time travel.  Check out The Other Time Machine.

Formal Film Project

Shot on 16mm and presented at the Sask Film Pool, for this assignment I created X.

Media Diary

My goal with this assignment was to create a photographic quilt of my past using cropped images and textures from my childhood.  What I made was, from 84.
