Sonia Gee Talks about ABC Open
This project is a regional educational initiative aimed at providing people with skills to use the latest media technologies and then submitting their results to ABC Open to be viewed by the public. To follow the link for the Riverina ABC Open page, click here or on the image of the Open website below. Sonya Gee is a multimedia journalist and artist who is relatively new to Wagga Wagga and keen to get to know her new surroundings. Sonya contributed to Dazed and Confused AUS/NZ magazine and completed a newspaper internship in Seoul, South Korea before making the switch to multimedia journalism. She has been an online producer for SBS, working on ‘Insight' and ‘Living Black' and has contributed to a number of online arts magazines.
Sonia is the Riverina Producer for the Open project and conducts training and information sessions to educate regional people in the areas of digital photography editing, video editing, audio editing, smartphones, blogs and social media.
She presented three videos that were exceptionally well done. The first was about the Adelong Creek flood and the challenges for a local family. Then, there was a heart warming 30 second video of a boy and his grandfather, followed by a powerful short movie from the Aftermath Project detailing the Murrumbidgee Flood and the personal experiences of one couple.
Sonia was given a vote of thanks by John Knight.
