On the Way to a Green L.A.?

An examination of efforts currently underway to solve environmental problems and prepare for future growth in the Los Angeles area. Despite its reputation for being dirty, crowded, and plagued with environmental problems, the Los Angeles area has in some ways moved to the forefront of sustainable development. Three of those areas are water recycling, alternatively-fueled vehicle fleets, and large-scale commitment to green building.

This Master’s Project explores the three areas of sustainable development in which Los Angeles excels. Text, audio, video, photos and animation are used to explain accomplishments, concepts and processes and to tour several exemplary projects.

The Cerrito Theater

I created this web site on the history and rediscovery of the historic Cerrito Theater as a project for my mulitmedia skills course, in Spring 2002. The site uses text, images and digital video to tell the story of the past, present and possible future of the 1937 art deco theater.

This summer the El Cerrito City Council voted to purchase the theater building, and restoration plans are beginning.

Multimedia Reporting
and Convergence

In the Spring of 2003 I helped the staff of the Western Knight Center for Specialized Journalism train mid-career journalists in multimedia reporting. In
addition to assiting participants during two week-long training sessions in March and May, I also produced content for the associated web site, and did the video camera and accessory photos.
