This page supports media being produced by Career Center Digital Media students for the Special Olympics International "Project Unify".
Much of this media is posted to the Special Olympics fan site: http://www.specialolympics.org/community/index.html.
ACCTV's Global Youth Rally blog about the experience of our students may be found at: http://soi-globalyouth09.blogspot.com/
Student PSAs -- Here are four student PSAs: 1) I Can Hear You (mp2, 14 megs; avi version -- 86 megs; flash version); 2) Stop Throwing Word Around (mp2; avi version); 3) Weight on People (mp2; avi version); 4) Tolerance (mp2; avi version).
Animations -- "Be Kind, Be Tolerant", a 30-sec. Flash animation by Phi Tran (mp2 version; avi version). This is the one depicting a circle and triangle that aired at the Global Youth Rally. A second R-word animation called "Hurdle" (mp2 version) has since been produced by Ian Keyser.
Rap Theme -- a Project Unify theme song, called "Unify"; rap lyrics and performance by "Rush" (Aldwin Jones); music by "kj" (Kevin Johnson); this music video is being recut into a longer version which incorporates footage from Rush's live performance at the Global Youth Rally in Boise, Idaho.
Rap Music Video -- here is a music video (mp2, 59 megs.; avi version; 367 mgs.) using Special Olympics footage and the Rap Theme Song, "Unify"; this music video is an example of what young musicians can produce when inspired by the Special Olympics spirit and message.
Another Rap Music Video -- a more contemplative song by Chris Guest, music again by k.j., called "Words Around"; this is a rough cut, featuring students from the Career Center.
Backing Audio Tracks -- Here are 6 tracks by recent graduate k.j. (a.k.a. Kevin Johnson) being considered for two different rap tracks -- one a contemplative rap from vantage point of person with intellectual disabilities; the second more of a Project Unify theme song.
