Wonderful, many thanks for sharing this, Richard.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fantastic initiative!
ReplyDeleteInspirational! Between this, Ryan's CTP and Notagain's work with providing machines to school projects, we've all entered a phase of typewriter collecting where our hobby can provide a nice benefit to our communities. (:
ReplyDeleteI'm with Ted. It's inspiring seeing these kinds of projects.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see the children using the typewriters. They have quite a few interesting ones there.
ReplyDeleteToo bad the music covers the interview on the video. It would be nice to hear what she has to say.
This is a wonderful project!
ReplyDeleteThe video was informative, but the music seemed...almost creepy.
My awareness of matching music to video has been amplified recently with creating videos of my partner James' art, with original music.
It is important to make sure that the music serves the video material. I wonder if the makers of this Word Play video wanted it to be a bit creepy and ominous, like visiting a haunted house?
I like the music, myself -- it feels mysterious, and the decor and objects at WordPlay are designed to stimulate curiosity and wonder. I'm glad that they use old things to spur the imagination, instead of flashy technology that creates superficial excitement.
