  • Gibson Foundation’s “Night Out for Nashville”

    The Bus visited the Hard Rock Café in Nashville for public tours and silent auction of an Epiphone guitar signed by the Black Eyed Peas to raise money for flood victims in the Nashville area. Donation boxes made from Gibson guitar cases were placed at Nashville businesses and venues. To find out how you can help, visit www.gibsonfoundation.org

Video aboard the Bus

The increasing accessibility of digital technology has led to an amazing expansion of opportunity in the art of digital storytelling. The John Lennon Educational Tour Bus has been at the forefront of this new media explosion, having produced daily video projects with students since January of 2001. The Lennon Bus puts state-of-the-art digital video equipment into the hands of workshop participants and teaches the entire digital workflow from story-boarding to DVD burning. Students leave the experience having shot, chopped, scored, and (most importantly) finished an entire digital video production. Using the latest cameras and professional hardware/software solutions including Apple's Final Cut Studio and Bogen Imaging's complete line of grip equipment, tripods, filters, and accessories, participants are exposed to the exciting world of digital videography and learn hot techniques of the trade. The accessibility of professional-quality technology is making it possible for millions of new voices to be heard and the John Lennon Bus is putting these tools into the hands of tomorrow's great digital producers.
