I'm sorry that you've had hard financial times. I could go into the
financial straits my family and I have endured as well, but I don't
think that's the point. I don't think the hardship of living out of a
car is still any kind of justification that art is best served within
commodity culture.
Sounds like a great class. For general resources, I'd point you a few
online syllabi/course websites related to your course. They don't
specifically deal with social justice, but might be helpful:

and Verdi have addressed - is why getting paid is such an important

This is very cool; I look forward to playing with these templates.
There's another similar project that's just been launched that I
thought I should share, called snstncntnrs. It provides a pretty

I'm a big fan of the Freesound Project, http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/,
a CC-licensed database of user-submitted audio, mostly by audiophiles
from around the world. Not the best for finding specific sound
effects necessarily, but lots of great ambient sounds, some fx, sound
art, etc.

The Panasonic is a sweet camera and would be a great investment for
more high-end video productions, but I don't see it as a practical
