Gearbox is the outcome of twelve-months development work between the MediaShed and Eyebeam Art and Technology Centre in New York, to create a resource for low-budget filmmaking. Comprised of “how to” step by step examples, Gearbox shows people innovative ways of recording footage using unusual combinations of found resources (such as CCTV Video Sniffin’ or Spy Kiting) and low-budget methods of reproducing professional film making techniques (for example, achieving a crane shot using a fishing pole).

While in graduate school, I worked as a Graduate Research Assistant, building tools and generally organizing the web presence of the IDT program, and eventually moving on to related programs.  In this role, my responsibilities included many things.

As the lead programmer on the IDT web team, I developed an intranet on the IDT website where students can log in and get various forms, edit their profiles, and take surveys, among other functions.

As an employee of Ivan Allan College, I began work on what was to become a college-wide faculty information tool. It included an extensive set of forms, and features for exporting reports to Microsoft Word.

Along with the IDT Intranet and IAC Facutly Database (also listed here), the LCC Content Management System comprised the bulk of the work that I completed while the lead web programmer at the School of Literature, Communication and Culture at Georgia Tech.  The LCC Content Tools are used primarily to update the LCC website. They include tools for creating surveys, updating news, FAQs, course information, and sending out mailers to students.
