Making “Let the Monster Rise”

Corey | July 29, 2009

I made the YouTube video “Let the Monster Rise” from one of my favorite movies “Repo! The Genetic Opera“.

The video was my first filmmaking workshop project. I rather enjoyed making it because it showed something that I really enjoyed and I learned how to use Corel Filmmaking Studio. Janet and Nate assisted me with [...]

Bupim’s Quest I

Steven | July 29, 2009

After many, many weeks of editing and procrastination, the first part of Bupim’s grand adventure is available on YouTube! Yayz!

The scenario he scripted for Introducing Ray got everyone involved; costume designing, set decorating, until our editing suite was transformed into a seedy bar interior (including a very detailed menu painstakingly hand crafted by Steven, creator of [...]

Harness special interests for growth

Dan Swearingen | July 7, 2009

One of the core values of Autistry Studios is that the students’ interests are the key to their growth and the foundation of our work.
People with ASD can have extremely intense interests — so intense and obsessive that parents and caregivers can feel they need to treat them as perseveration. However, those compelling, obsessive interests [...]

Betty Crocker Goes Gluten Free

Janet Lawson, MFT | July 4, 2009

In the last few years this has changed dramatically. Pamela’s Products baking mixes have [...]
