La Colombie fêtait hier ses 200 ans d’indépendance de l’Espagne. Voici un court reportage que j’ai préparé sur les célébrations. Le tout a été filmé et monté en environ trois heures — à l’exception de la séquence d’ouverture avec les avions, filmée hier matin. Je voulais posté ce message hier soir, mais le serveur sur [...]

It has been a while since my last post. I have been busy with assignments in the last couple weeks of my semester and did not post as frequently as I would have liked to. *** I recently came across this short film. It was entirely filmed with the Canon 5D. It is one of [...]
Margaret Vander Mees still remembers in great detail that night 20 years ago when she woke up fearing the worst.
‘‘The fire broke out in the middle of the night and we woke up from the orange. We thought our house was on fire.’’
Google just launched a ”street view” of the Vancouver Olympic sites.
My colleague Meghan sent me this little video via Facebook. If only learning the journalistic trade was a simple…

Yesterday, the Supreme Court of Canada rendered judgment in Omar Khadr’s case.
