Lighting Redesign from the Sisters (VIDEO)
Gail Boushey and Joan Moser
Printer-Friendly Format

In this five-minute time-lapse video, Gail Boushey and Joan Moser redesign the lighting in their colleague Ahnsaly's literacy meeting area. In the process, they talk about the challenges of "black hole" media mounted on walls, dealing with cords and codes, and creating banks of lights.

The video is divided into two parts for ease of downloading and viewing. Computers must have high-speed Internet access and the ability to play flash video in order to view this sequence. You can download a free flash video player through this link:
