AdBusters Commercials

The Youth Advisory Council has finished their first project: make an AdBusters commercial! Congratulations! AdBusters is an organization that critiques print and TV ads through parody. Each of the groups decided to focus on a population that was under- or misrepresented in the media and, more specifically, advertisements. This project was an exercise in interpreting and challenging the messages that media sends us and, more importantly, creating our own media that counters the mainstream.

Great job YAC!

Introducing...

YOUTH ADVISORY COUNCIL, 2009-2010!

Here are some pics from the epic KQED tour:

Next up are the Adbusters videos, and after that we'll be making a couple PSAs for the PADACC (Palo Alto Drug and Alcohol Community Collaborative... that's a mouthful).

So stay tuned...

Greenlight Filming Day 1

The YAC is working on a film for the Greenlight Film Festival. The Greenlight Film Festival is a showcase of films that encourage environmental activism and show how people can reduce their environmental impacts. Today Jan 17 2009, we had our first day of filming. Our movie is about an environmentally unfriendly and fragmented family that find connection while making a movie for the Greenlight Film Festival. After filming, we played a fun game of basketball, Yann tried to score with his feet. (:

YAC Visits The Giants !

On November 5th, the YAC went to AT &T Park. While there, we got to check out the room that controls the scoreboard. It was really cool to see how broadcasting applies in the real world. We also got to see some really cool equipment. Afterwards, we went on a tour of the rest of the Giants stadium. We got to go down onto the track into the visitor's dugout and locker room. It was

to see everyone's faces during this. They were all smiling and enjoying an awesome

opportunity. Another highlight of the trip

was checking out the beautiful VIP lounge.

In the lounge, there were wall sized murals

of baseball scenes. All in all, it was an

amazing experience.

Election 2008 Coverage

On October 15th the YAC traveled to San Jose State University to film coverage of the Debate Watch event. SJSU students and other interested voters gathered to watch the final presidential debate and share their opinions on the candidates. YAC was there to get the scoop. The 08-09 YAC members (Eugenah Chou, Edoardo De Armas, Ryan Lee, Layla Moheimani, Mark Monroe, Jacob Neugass, Mikkel Nielsen, Camille Smura and Yann Zeller) filmed the viewing of the debate and interviewed students on their reactions. The shoot was a great success! This was arranged through a partnership with Generation Engage (generationengage.org) and segments cut together from this footage will be aired on their website and also the YAC blog. Check back soon for the final result!

This is the result of the first project of the 2008-2009 YAC class. In order to get the feel for the cameras, three groups shot three different videos without the use of editing software. These short videos are just a taste of the wonder yet to come from this year's YAC! Watch and enjoy.

The Sun sets on YAC 2008

On Sunday, the YAC ended the year with a bang! They each presented short clips of the videos they'd made throughout the year, and then talked a short while about their experience. Parents, friends, and board members enjoyed casino games and munchies. Isaac, Ari, and Mark gave out awards to the other YAC members, like the "Rubber Chicken Award" to Jeremy for being so silly and goofy. It was a great way to end the year and celebrate all the great work they've done!
