“S.O.S. (Help Us Out)” feat. Yoko Ono, will.i.am, Natasha Bedingfield and Pat Monahan
DescriptionThis project is the most pristine embodiment of the mission of the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus to date. Four Las Vegas high school students and three UNLV film students collaborated with this star-studded lineup to conceive what could be the new anthem for the modern peace movement. Unveiled alongside the first of many new Lennon Buses at the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), “S.O.S.” is a living testament to the impact of the opportunities that we, with the help of our gracious allies and sponsors, are able to provide.
who will save the world? who will stand amidst the tyrants and typhoons and possess the valor to promote light and love? when will we begin to embrace our oneness and grasp a sense of universal compassion? will it be too late?
no. together, we will. now.
-Jacob Voelzke, Lennon Bus Producer/Engineer

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.
