Canton, OH: “Redemption” - Mixtape Metro
DescriptionYou might not believe it, but this 2008 Canton, OH Battle of the Bands winner has only actually been a band for about three months. They went on to tell us that they had about three weeks of practice before conquering the Battle, put on by The Repository. Mixtape Metro, however new they may be, is a force not to be reckoned with. Their song, “Redemption”, wasn’t even totally complete before they came to claim their free recording/video session on the Lennon Bus… so they finished it on the spot. Keep your eyes on these masters of indie improv, as you can be sure they will be a formidable contender in our national battle competition.

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.
