I am up to something. Today's part of my joyful plotting is going nicely. This thing will involve shinies and it will involve teaching wireworking and it will involve participation at a distance which is very handy sometimes.

You will certainly read more about it as it proceeds. The grand unveiling of the next phase is scheduled for March.

In the meantime, if anyone has references for photographers and/or videographers with experience doing close-up work suitable for teaching purposes, or with strong motivation to acquire such experience and do a good job while learning, I'd love some. Particularly I'd love to spread the opportunities out to some folks in communities that don't always find doors open to them. The work will happen in August of 2020 in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, here in Minnesota.

I'm going to need between 1 and 5 people, depending on how complicated the final project winds up being. Here's what abilities I need:

1. A photographer to take close-up photos of my hands at work, and of the pieces I'm working on and materials I use. There may also be opportunities for photographing one or more class sessions and students.

2. A writer/editor who can turn those photos and my commentary into one or more how-to articles.

3. A videographer to get close-up video of my hands at work, and of the pieces I'm working on and the materials I use. There may also be opportunities for filming one or more class sessions and students.

4. A producer/editor/writer who can turn those videos and my commentary into one or more how-two videos.

5. A captioner who will work with the producer/editor/writer in #4 to ensure that the final video has adequate and accurate captioning.

These are all paid positions. They are not necessarily all going to happen, but this is what I hope for and what I'll be working toward. More details later. Meanwhile, interested parties can contact me at lionesselise@gmail.com.

I can't waaaaait to unveil the next phase in March! EEEEE!


P.S. Anyone applying for the positions needs to be delighted about the chance to work with disabled and LGBTIA& folks. Thank you.
