Nathaniel Ostashewski - Technology Hardcopy Resume

I currently teach in a High School in Northeastern Alberta, Canada and when not at school I can either be found behind a computer or video camera, playing with my children, dancing in a studio, or planning my next video or multimedia project with my wife... ....and on some sunny days I even get out to the lake and do some SkySki Hydrofoiling (an extreme watersport).

"Leadership is the fine art of encouraging people to change and try new things while at the same time pointing them in the direction you intend"

As a videographer since 1991, my experience has seen the end of the analogue era and the rise of digital one. Over the past several years, production quality has grown to the point where Prosumer equipment is now being used in feature film production, and digital effects are unlimited. Video is my media of choice - whether on the computer in interactive CD's or in a classroom learning situation, video can speak a million words.... .... and I love to produce it - the thrill of a completing a successful project is fantastic!
