THE SHIFT PROJECT<\/b><\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” thickness=”0″ up=”23″ down=”0″][vc_column_text]She currently runs a NGO in collaboration with CARICOM called \u2018The Shift Project<\/i>\u2019 which is an intervention program using digital technology to bring \u2018at risk\u2019 teens into the 21st<\/strong> century. This project took her and two female students to Guyana and Suriname where they conducted animation workshops with at risk youths.<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Over the last 19 years the Animae Caribe Festival has gathered data that shows some interesting trends regarding technology and youth participation in the region. The increasing digital divide is a colossal disadvantage to Caribbean youths. The sole purpose of this project is empowerment through \u2018affirmative action\u2019 that will assist the financially and socially challenged, to become relevant twenty first century digital natives.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A pilot project of this concept was conducted in 2010 at Youth Training Centre (YTC) for adolescents at the Golden Grove Prison Trinidad.<\/strong> 15 young inmates were exposed to a workshop in storytelling and animation. The outcome was a two minute animated short called \u2018The Journey\u2019 Camille believes that just as the output of the computer is intangible and cannot be placed on a shelf, so does the inspiration she provokes, hide in the emotional, social and entrepreneurial outcomes of her interventions.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In 2016 she spent a month in Jamaica for an intervention project called \u201cNew Path\u2019 which used animation in prisons, funded by the Organization of American States through its Department of Public Security in Washington DC.<\/strong> Turning those stories of dread and despair into constructive affirmations, she gives inmates an opportunity to express their fears, their trauma, and to use storytelling to change the plot. With over 20 years in the animation and digital media industry Camille now uses the \u2018Heroes Journey\u2019 to rewrite the script that has kept others outside of the playing field both in the film industry and also in the play of life.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”41″]VIEW SHIFT ON CARICOM<\/a>[vc_separator type=”transparent” thickness=”0″ down=”65″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”parallax” parallax_content_width=”full_width” text_align=”center” full_screen_section_height=”no” background_image=”345″][vc_column][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”65″][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”grid” text_align=”center” css_animation=””][vc_column_inner width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Diversifying \u2018The Story Arc\u2019
\nIn The Belly Of The Whale<\/h2>\n

(WORKING TITLE)<\/strong><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” thickness=”0″ up=”30″ down=”0″][vc_column_text]A typical script incorporates the use of the traditional story arc that comprises the obvious structure of beginning, middle and end. Josephs Campbells Heroes Journey pushes us to dig deeper by following Greek mythological processes that include many layers of this journey. In his deconstruction, he describes the many character archetypes that include the Hero, the Villain and so many others.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

However, I dare to differ slightly to his interpretation as it applies to our own modern-day experiences as post-colonial, diasporic citizens. The Greek experience does not take into consideration the experience of the OTHER and therefore is a romanticization and generalization of the experience of black and brown people. From the Caribbean or diasporic experience how can we change the script by applying our own otherness experience and mythology into the script, especially in animation as this is the time young minds are formed.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

By looking at the mythical Anansi stories and folklore tales coming from West Africa and beyond, I will propose how and why African Mythology must be seen as a rich new visual experience and counteraction to the established protocols of the Hollywood script.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” thickness=”0″ up=”61″ down=”0″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”35px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”68px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” z_index=””][vc_column][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#e5e5e5″ thickness=”2″ down=”25″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
