Hi folks! I am looking for collaborators and I have an idea for the final project. However, I am also open to helping someone out with an already existing plan or working out a hybrid plan. I'm very interested in creative video work and I have a knack for editing on a/v software timelines. I also have audio skills (recording, editing, and music composing) and can provide soundtracks without copyright worries, cool sound effects, and doctor the inevitable crappy audio recording on software like sound forge or acid.
For the final project I hope to integrate some video work of course and I'd like to present some arguments regarding literacies within domains--perhaps hip-hop artists, gamers, or some other craft? Something I wrote about on the wiki was that there needs to be a greater understanding of professional/cultural literacies in order to function more efficiently as a society. Sharing the literacy of a certain affinity group with outsiders may lead to a more realistic (rather than stereotypical) representation and thus greater convergence, respect, tolerance, and empathy in in the world. Acquiring another domain's literacy even on a basic level may also provide learners with "transfer" as Gee puts it, helping them solve problems and articulate themselves better in other domains.

Russ, are you still looking for collaborators? I thought you were working with someone. Todd and I are doing an iMovie about redefining rhetorics based on work we've done with courses where students rhetorically analyze lyrics. Also how this redefinition intersects with visual rhetoric. Let us know ASAP: email me at leem5@ohio.edu and Todd at ts250406@ohio.edu (I think we both check email more often than blog)
