Working on Country Forum edit workshop

May 28, 2012 Carl Kuddell
The Change Media team spent five days at the end of April at the inaugural Working on Country Forum in Calperum Station just outside of Renmark, SA. The Forum was a national meeting of minds for Indigenous rangers to improve their skills and to make (or maintain) national relationships. Over 120 rangers from SA, NSW, TAS, VIC and WA, gathered to learn about the unique challenges faced by their counterparts, with significance to traditional culture and maintaining our lands and waters. This Change Media initiative is a collaboration with the Ngarrindjeri Regional Authority, and their rangers were involved in all aspects of the production, as they want to independently run their own media hubs in Meningie, Raukkan and Murray Bridge. The forum was a great hands-on environment for them to test their skills, and the fun isn’t over yet. In early May, the Change Media trainers have run another four-day workshop at Camp Coorong, this time focusing on editing, and all the joys and intricacies of media file management! They honed their editing prowess using the footage they shot at the WoC Forum! So, the whole thing comes full circle! And the final step is for the team to make training videos of the rangers learning their new skills, so they can do it again and train others. Perhaps someone can film the filming of the filming, the Gordian knot of sharing knowledge… This Change Media project was funded through the Australian Government, Indigenous Cultural Support, Office for the Arts, Department of Regional Australia, Local Government, Arts and Sport; and the Australia Council for the Arts Creative Community Partnership Initiative; supported by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities; Ngarrindjeri Regional Authority; Indigenous Coordination Centre SA; Ngarrindjeri Land & Progress Association; Ngarrindjeri Ruwe Contracting; Ngopamuldi Aboriginal Corporation Raukkan; Australian Landscape Trust; Tallstoreez Productionz

Ngarrindjeri Media 2012 May - Camp Coorong SA

Advice: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers are advised that this website and videos links contains images and voices of people who have died.

The Change Media Team ran a 4-day workshop with 6 Ngarrindjeri Working on Country and Heritage Rangers to edit the documentation of the inaugural Indigenous rangers Working on Country Forum, held in April 16-20 2012.
During the 4-day post-production workshop, the Ngarrindjeri rangers trained in how to media manage footage, create a relevant and engaging story line from multiple events and edit them into a 10-minute video. The workshop also covered basics in post production workflow.

The team also created s new peer-produced training video, that will form part of our Indigenous Media Training online resource and will be uploaded by end of May 2012 on our online training tool kit.

The edit workshop enabled the Ngarrindjeri team to use latest technology in digital video production, working with SD card HD cameras and record instant training videos about their newly learned skills.

As a result of the successful edit – the Department of Sustainability was thrilled with the documentary and wants to show it to the Minister!!! – the team is now discussing to take part in Uncle Moogy’s trip to Sydney end of May, to launch the Yuki [the bark canoe] on the Darling Harbour as part of an Indigenous water craft forum held at the Australian Maritime Museum May 30-June 1.
We are also negotiating with the Ngarrindjeri Regional Authority to invest into professional equipment for the three teams in Murray Bridge, Meningie and Raukkan, to fast track the Ngarrindjeri trainees and enable them to access high-end gear on a weekly basis.
