Summer camp teaching kids how to make a music video

NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — While some kids spend their summer playing outside or doing arts and crafts, a group of students in New Orleans are doing something unique. They are learning how to make a music video.

In partnership with the Trombone Shorty Foundation at Studio La La La,

In the program the students are making a music video for the New Groove Brass Band for their song, “On My Grind.”

“We are teaching students the basics of production. They learn how to visualize the concept for a music video. They listen to the song, and then they thought of some ideas and created a story board with a whole production plan,” said India King Robbins, Executive Director of New Orleans Video Access Center.

“I feel like they really do a good job of harnessing everyone’s creativity, allowing people to share ideas,” said Marshall Russelo, a 14-year-old NOVAC student.

“Definitely something to put on my college portfolio, because I’m trying to do this in my adult life and this is just a great opportunity,” 16-year-old NOVAC student Evan Moller said.

“The kids are confident, and they are having fun, and they are learning,” India King Robbins said.

The finished music video will premiere at a special screening in August.
