Editing Point of Beginning Animated Graphic Documentary (section)

=Editing and Motion Graphics=

After spending five weeks in the community of Gjoa Haven, I had collected a lot of audio-visual material to create multiple formats of creative media around Gjoa Haven's "Voices of Thunder". 

For the subsequent 6 months, I worked with this material to edit three versions of the Voices of Thunder documentary, and create a throatsinging and Pihhiq video. I also created an interactive timeline and a website that allowed for people to engage with Gjoa Haven's testimonies in other formats than film. 

<div class="next_choice">In particular the process of turning Danny Aaluk's drawings into motion graphics, and the adding of subtitles to each video, required an intimate engagement with both the voice-over recordings and Danny's drawings. 

In fact, I can still hear William and Tuppittia's voice echoeing in my head, almost two years after finalizing the films. Spending time with the material over and over again gives a sensitivity to language. In this case, it invoked questions on how language works in relation to the land. 

'''"Keep Going"''' to return to the community to organize a screening of the videos and gather feedback.</div>
