The Beacon of Hope

Here is a multimedia piece I am quite proud of. My classmates and I had to work on a team video and decided to tell the story of a man named Marc Seguin. I don't want to say too much about it, just watch it :)

So I have been pretty late at updating! November has been a crazy month. It's the month with no holidays and only deadlines hahaha well, glad it's over and the semester is almost done too! I have one final video I'm shooting and editing through and then it'll be time for the holidays! :)

Here are some photos I took at the end of November when the Canadian Pacific train stopped in Belleville. They travel across Canada every year making stops in multiple cities to collect food and raise money for local food banks. They have different music performances each year too and this year, Odds, a Canadian alternative rock band performed.
