“CASE STUDY: Social Media Marketing for a Nonprofit”
Noni Films & Media has shifted into a higher gear lately. Over the last week, we’ve been multi-tasking, to say the least. We’ve been re-writing scripts and creating shotlists for the training video we’re about to shoot/edit for a local outdoor adventure company. In addition, we were on a whirlwind trip to Los Angeles, to document the comeback of a recording artist and performer as a new chapter in a documentary project we’ve been c0-producing with Ready Set Go! since 2002. Backstage moments, and full-coverage concert footage with a mixed audio line direct from the sound board. Big news after an almost 5-year break from filming.
We’ve also been spending time on behalf of Noni Films & Media as a media/marketing sponsor for The Jungle to Jungle Project. A traveling education and technology project down the Amazon River involving HD video, Twitter Feeds, and almost real-time blogging needs to come with it’s own instruction manual.

Let’s see what we’ve learned: (more…)

(There’s more after the jump!) (more…)
Clip of the Week: A Brief History of Water Rights in Hawaii, by Earth Justice’s Isaac Moriwake
On Earth Day, we were at Maui Community College, attending a film screening of the documentary “The Water Front“, “the story of one community’s determination to fight the seemingly inevitable path of water privatization”. Earth Justice attorney Isaac Moriwake spoke before the screening, and gave a great summary of the history of water law in Hawai’i.
