Help Wanted

I am looking for videoing opportunities with children. I would
come to your home or other location, video your child or children
and give you a copy of all the raw footage. I am keenly
interested in capturing video of children in natural settings, on
the playground, at home, at school, and especially in nature. I
am also looking for videos of very young children, babies,
infants and toddlers. I am also interested in interviewing
school age children and adolescents. I would like to get their
views on a number of issues. I can tailor the footage to serve
your purposes, whether it be for general family history, a video
you want to send to a family member or to focus on a specific
problem you are having. As a trained Montessori observer, I know
what to look for and how to capture specific moments on video.

In return you would agree to give me the rights to use the
footage for my purposes. I need to get a signed permission slip
from the parents and would ask for the written permission of any
child over seven years old. I verbally ask all children if I can
take their picture. I can provide the release forms.

I intend to use the footage in a number of ways. I would like to
include it in my lectures with students studying to become
Montessori guides. It helps tremendously to see real life
situations. I would also use some of the footage in parenting
classes that I conduct. I may in the future put together a
documentary on children in America.
