Time transcripts of Q2 -for-CandC-Online

[00:00:00:01]	Interviewer: So...had you ever done anything like this before?

[00:00:04:01]	..composing with video, or....

[00:00:08:02]	Katherine Heenan: I had never created anything with video before. i mean, I've done...I have a camera

[00:00:12:03]	and it uh will record video but I've never edited or manipulated

[00:00:16:04]	video at all. Crystal Gorham Doss: No, nothing even close.

[00:00:16:05]	video at all. Crystal Gorham Doss: No, nothing even close. (laughs)

[00:00:20:07]	Annie McGreevy: I had not, no, and it's kind of blown me away, um, I

[00:00:24:08]	I write, I primarily write fiction. I've..I'm...

[00:00:28:09]	in the baby stages of writing an article, I've written some non-fiction and poetry, but

[00:00:32:10]	everything I've written has been pure, alphabetic text. Jill Lambert: No. 

[00:00:36:12]	This was absolutely new to me. I mean, it's..it's why I came

[00:00:36:12]	This was absolutely new to me. I mean, it's...it's why I came

[00:00:40:14]	to learn how to um...to write and compose 

[00:00:44:17]	in ways that I would like to take back to my own classroom. 

[00:00:48:17]	Henrietta Rix Wood: I have never done any of this before. This has been immersion.

[00:00:52:18]	I feel like I was dropped into a foreign country 

[00:00:56:18]	where nobody speaks my language but they are asking me to do 

[00:01:00:19]	really complicated things. Allison Hammond: No. Not exactly.

[00:01:04:20]	I have played around with it. I had played around with around it. I once, uh, 

[00:01:08:21]	created (laughs) a CD-ROM of um

[00:01:12:21]	music clips for a trivia music round. And I

[00:01:16:23]	got a little obsessed with it, so I was familiar with that

[00:01:20:24]	perfectionist impulse kind of taking over but 

[00:01:24:24]	um..no, not exactly like this, no. Christina LaVecchia: I hadn't, um, it's 

[00:01:28:26]	something I've been interested in for a long time, and I had some

[00:01:32:28]	of these programs that we're using at this institute this week already on my computer

[00:01:36:29]	but (sighs) I hadn't played around with them yet. I hadn't

[00:01:41:00]	really figured out how they worked. I'd done a little bit of work in Audacity before

[00:01:45:03]	for instance, an audio-editing software tool, but I hadn't really 

[00:01:49:04]	figured out everything you could with it...um...I still haven't figured 

[00:01:53:04]	that out, but I feel like I understand how it works a lot more now. Um...

[00:01:57:05]	And, yeah, I haven't ever played around with video

[00:02:01:05]	before, really. Once or twice I've kind of thrown video into a PowerPoint

[00:02:05:06]	or kind of...I made up a backup once of a PowerPoint that had video

[00:02:09:07]	just by stringing all the videos together into one long file, but there wasn't

[00:02:13:08]	any-apart from arranging them in order-there wasn't really any

[00:02:17:10]	kind of active composing happen there. It was kind of being thrown all together just

[00:02:21:11]	so I had something to back up, in case my PowerPoint didn't quite work out for a presentation

[00:02:25:13]	I was doing. Laura Michael Brown: No, not really, not beyond like making

[00:02:29:14]	music videos with my friend in high school (laughs), um, but she did

[00:02:33:16]	all the sort of production end, so, no. I don't have, um, 

[00:02:37:16]	a lot of experience with really incorporating like the audio or the video.

[00:02:41:16]	Maurine Ogbaa: I'm trying...I think that I've, um...

[00:02:45:17]	I've done a few personal, small-scale projects, um

[00:02:49:18]	and they were very small-scale, like I built a, um

[00:02:53:19]	I don't know if "built" is right word, but basically a birthday card for

[00:02:57:19]	my friend using MovieMaker and it was just images

[00:03:01:21]	and then on it I laid an audio track, and... This was a couple of years ago

[00:03:05:21]	and I had no idea what I was doing, and never did it again for whatever reason

[00:03:09:24]	 but, that's my only real experience. Renee Shea: Absolutely 

[00:03:13:26]	nothing, absolutely nothing. I appreciate it, I've worked

[00:03:17:27]	with teachers, encouraged students to do it. Um...I'm a good critic of it

[00:03:22:00]	but I never did any original work myself. 

[00:03:26:00]	Eddie Singleton: Yes. I have asked 

[00:03:30:01]	people to do it, as the person responsible 

[00:03:34:01]	for the curriculum for, um, making some

[00:03:38:03]	determination about what students will do in writing classes

[00:03:42:04]	I, uh, have introduced an element of multimodal digital

[00:03:46:05]	composition to the standard curriculum

[00:03:50:07]	so, to that degree I have done that. Other

[00:03:54:08]	that that, from a professional standpoint, no. I have...

[00:03:58:10]	I enjoy messing around, and I enjoy, you know, creative

[00:03:54:08]	

[00:04:02:11]	endeavors, but, there's nothing on my cv that is 

[00:04:06:13]	uh, multimodal or digital. Danielle Williams: I had no myself. I've assigned it

[00:04:10:14]	several times to my students, I've messed around with the programs enough to know kind of what 

[00:04:14:17]	to expect, um, but I had never actually had to do it, with a deadline

[00:04:18:21]	um, and all the things I ask of my students, so I had to kind of switch to the other side.

[00:04:22:21]	Theresa Dark: I've actually done some videos of my students

[00:04:26:22]	when I taught Fundamentals of Speech. So I had all of my 

[00:04:30:22]	students videotaped and I did all the videotaping. I have not done

[00:04:34:23]	any traditional cutting, with their particularly work. I have 

[00:04:38:26]	done, for a project in my course of education, 

[00:04:42:26]	where I was clipping pieces of video and pieces of audio 

[00:04:46:27]	attached to video for, uh, an oral, uh

[00:04:50:28]	literacy project that I had worked on with one of my professors. So, I have done

[00:04:54:29]	some of that, but not for my own work where I kept playing with and I was 

[00:04:59:02]	the audio or that kind of thing, so.... Paul Butler: I actually

[00:05:03:04]	have done something like it before, um, and the closest 

[00:05:07:06]	that really comes to what we have done is 

[00:05:11:08]	when I was in a journalism program for a year at the University of 

[00:05:15:08]	Southern California and we recorded and edited

[00:05:19:09]	audio, so... And actually I

[00:05:23:10]	shouldn't say audio, well there was audio in it but it was more

[00:05:27:10]	uh, you know, footage for 

[00:05:31:11]	commercials and then for news segments that we were doing, so

[00:05:35:13]	I have a little bit of field editing experience that went into it before

[00:05:39:14]	but for the most part, this was the first time I'd brought both media together

[00:05:43:14]	Sara Cooper: I have worked on stop motion animation

[00:05:47:17]	projects, but largely--I was working with a filmmaker who was doing a lot of the 

[00:05:51:18]	editing part himself, so, I've thought a lot about video

[00:05:55:20]	but I haven't had the chance to really get in and get my hands dirty and work

[00:05:59:21]	specifically with the programs. Brian Harmon: This is not 

[00:06:03:23]	the first time that I've done work like we've done at DMAC, um

[00:06:07:24]	but it is the first time I've done some work with iMovie, so it was a learning experience

[00:06:11:25]	but also something that I was familiar with. Kara Poe Alexander: Yes, I had. 

[00:06:15:25]	Um, about ten years ago I took a course from Cindy Selfe at the

[00:06:19:26]	at U of L, she was the Watson Professor, and so I took a course

[00:06:23:27]	um, one of the first that she had ever taught in it and so

[00:06:27:28]	It was in '04. It's been quite a while, though, since I'd done the production 

[00:06:32:01]	I've continued to teach the essays and these types of projects

[00:06:36:03]	over the years but I had not composed one of these

[00:06:40:05]	essays since that time. Erin Cahill: A little bit. Some of the projects that I've done... Well, first

[00:06:44:07]	off I took Dr. Dewitt's Digital Media course 

[00:06:48:08]	this last semester, so we've done a lot with iMovie for that for 

[00:06:52:10]	some book trailer projects and such. And then, um, in previous 

[00:06:56:10]	I've done previous projects in other classes just with slides and videos and things

[00:07:00:10]	like that. So nothing too crazy. Nothing so precise as this

[00:07:04:11]	per se, and it was definitely to have a lot of the other tools, like Audacity, to

[00:07:08:12]	be working with, and...I wish I would have had Photoshop by that point, but I mean, I could see

[00:07:12:13]	it was kind of a good way of bringing together a lot of the technologies that we had been

[00:07:16:14]	learning throughout the workshop so far. 

[00:07:20:15]	Kaitlin Clinnin: Luckily, being a grad student at Ohio State

[00:07:24:18]	we're very...we're trained to work in this 

[00:07:28:20]	like with video in various classes, especially since I'm in the Digital Media

[00:07:32:21]	concentration, uh, I've taken classes with Cindy so we've done a lot of the

[00:07:36:22]	iMovie work. And I took a class with Scott last semester 

[00:07:40:22]	so I've been pretty familiar with most of 

[00:07:44:24]	the, if not the exact program we've been using

[00:07:48:24]	um, then at least how to go about working with the media.

[00:07:52:25]	Randy Gonzales: Yes, I've composed with video and audio. I've taught

[00:07:56:25]	some Composition with video and audio as well. Pod casts

[00:08:00:26]	and things like that. Torsa Ghosal: Yes, actually

[00:08:04:27]	through all of my graduate classes I have

[00:08:08:28]	um, made presentations which incorporate

[00:08:12:29]	images or sound files

[00:08:17:00]	sometimes video file; however, when it came to the 

[00:08:21:02]	reiteration of the same in like 

[00:08:25:03]	portfolio papers or things like that I would generally kind of trim 

[00:08:29:04]	down the images and everything and present it...I mean, still I could

[00:08:33:06]	perhaps present images but when it came to videos or sound files I would

[00:08:37:08]	really have to think of ways by which I would have kind of steer clear of those

[00:08:41:09]	so that I could actually turn in a very traditional scholarly essay. Interviewer: ...move back to

[00:08:45:09]	alphabetic. Torsa Ghosal: Yes. Uh, so. Like the submissions would often

[00:08:49:10]	be alphabetic whereas the presentation of the submission would always be multimodal.

[00:08:53:10]	Van E. Hillard: I've written about

[00:08:57:11]	the visual, and have written about material

[00:09:01:12]	culture as well as terms of its rhetorical uses.

[00:09:05:15]	I've generally be interested in what 

[00:09:09:16]	Tom Mitchell calls the visual-textual exchange, right, and 

[00:09:13:16]	have brought the visual into the study of rhetoric

[00:09:17:17]	for my students. I've been also interested in the

[00:09:21:19]	use of what I would call "excitable images" in the news

[00:09:25:19]	images of trauma, suffering and pain, and the ways in which 

[00:09:29:21]	those occupy a kind of problematic

[00:09:33:23]	space in the, not only the

[00:09:37:24]	production of news, but in documentary and 

[00:09:41:25]	how the pain of others has been represented. 

[00:09:41:26]	 how the pain of others has been represented. 

[00:09:45:27]	Jeffrey Kaufmann: I have done video, and um

[00:09:49:28]	just basically made

[00:09:53:28]	videos, [sounds of people passing in the hall] some slides, video,

[00:09:57:29]	I recently did a reflective piece where I looked at 

[00:10:02:00]	a photoessay and tried to ask myself

[00:10:06:01]	questions like "Why did I do that, what was my choice..." One of the things 

[00:10:10:03]	I came to realize early on in that 

[00:10:14:04]	process was, I mean, I prefer

[00:10:18:05]	text. My habit is text. So I've got to 

[00:10:22:07]	actually struggle with 

[00:10:26:09]	getting out of my comfort zone to think

[00:10:30:09]	in other modes.

[00:10:30:10]
