With the holiday season in full swing we’ve been keeping busy here at the Filmworks 109 studio. Since we still haven’t seen any snow in Upstate, NY we’ve been able to keep films in for our real estate videos along with working on a variety of other projects. These projects have included working with a local boxing club, doing a fun video for Homestead and even doing a video for NYSUT’s the teacher of the year.
One project that came back for the third year in a row is working with Majestic Media and NYSUT for the teacher of the year award. This year we went to Fostertown ETC Magnet School school and got the opportunity to meet Dana McDonough who will be the teacher of the year for 2016.
While working on the teacher of the year project we had the opportunity to see Dana in action. We were able to sit in on one of Dana’s classes and also got to do an interview with her. After a long days work we were happy to have met Dana and would like to say congratulations again to Dana for such a great accomplishment.
The video we are working on with Majestic Media will be showcased at the awards ceremony this upcoming spring. For more information in the meantime check out this article from NYSUT’s website that talks more about Dana and the work she does.
