After a short break, Ian and Hunter return with Blake High School’s Joe Papadopoulos—a media educator with a background in live news and commercial production. Joe reflects on how real-world experience doesn’t always translate in the classroom, and how students thrive when they’re trusted, encouraged, and guided with structure. He shares the power of pre-production, how to run creative in-class projects like “15 in 15,” and why planning is the most overlooked skill in student filmmaking. Ian and Hunter also talk about how to keep students productive during school hours—even when the bulk of their filming happens outside of class.
