At Chief Little Pine School, we guided a one-on-one session, and three workshops:
- Video and sound recording (Lisa, do you want to include the equipment used (specifically using a dedicated video camera and wireless lavalier mic kit already in community)
- 3D scanning using KIRI Engine (see our scanning documentation for more information on the scanning apps we chose to bring to community)
- Sound editing using Audacity (free and open access audio recording and editing software)
- Video editing using Canva (a free photo and video editor combined in a cohesive graphic design app)
The video and sound recording session was a one-on-one request to record Elders in community.
Participants enjoyed the 3D scanning workshop – one particular scanning success was a piece of bannock which was scanned with mouthwatering detail! While the 3D scanning workshop was informative and enjoyable, community members expressed more interest in sound and video editing, so we developed two workshops to address this need.
Following the video editing workshop, we learned that Canva was so popular with participants who had started using this versatile cloud-based program to create posters, videos, and other types of independent creative projects.
Technical Notes
We used KIRI engine for the scanning because of the ease of the export process. KIRI sends an email with a download link bypassing an additional step of using a cloud-based drive to upload and share files between the app and other applications. Canva was selected due to its intuitive interface and its visual, drag-and-drop functionality. We learned that Audacity might be too complex for the allotted time. We revisited audio recording and editing in our workshops in Mosquito First Nation where we decided to use the stand-alone mobile app EZAudioCut(MT) Lite.
