Telling the story

Given the modular nature of the kit and the diversity of its potential user base, emphasis on visual descriptors were essential to the successful explanation of the MMTK. As such, a cut-up, collage technique, drawing from remix cultures, representing a mosaic in structure, was employed as the primary visual metaphore in the video.

The mosaic is a theme used broadly by artists from the minimalist paintings of Mondrain to the political photo-art of Joe the
Leftist Blogger2, from the deeply embedded patternings in the dying art of the weavers of the northern Philippines to the sectiles applied to the walls of the Sumarians3 in ancient times.

Mosaics ensure we do not evoke any specific culutural stereotypes.

"Make ICT Training Work For You" was commissioned by the Association for Progressive Communications and was designed to:

describe the origins of the MMTK;
identify the project partners;
how the MMTK had been created;
how it can be used, and;
what it will develop into.

The video consists of:

voice over;
descriptive text;
storyboard style graphics
Creative Commons licensed artwork, music and photos;
logos and credits.

It was originally intended that the presentation be a multiplatform Impress/Powerpoint document. The treatment was conceived and structured towards a video should funding become available. As production commenced it was decided to go straight to video and work within the limits of the budget available.

Additional production resources were made available by the Australian Centre for the Moving Image, including editing facilities.
