Homeschooling Video for Corporate Media Class

Kelly Dwyer worked with me on this quarter final project for Corporate Media class.  The assignment was to be a promotional video, for either a product (whether real or imagined), a person, service, etc.  The idea of homeschooling came to me, though I was educated in publick skoole. I got such a visceral reaction from my instructor that we had a little chat about it for a bit, as I explained that virtually all of the homeschooled kids I'd ever met were very intelligent, and more personable than most of the public school kids I knew, and/or grew up with.  After a while he said "You know what? I hope you make that video on homeschooling.  I'm willing to be wrong.  Convince me."  I said "Well, I'll do my best."  I don't know if I changed his mind but I got a 95 on it ;)

After numerous searches, I finally located the copyright owner of the leaping rabbit image that I'd borrowed some time ago, for my logo. It turns out to be a tattoo company, and they did not want me to use their image in my logo, though they said "thank you for asking." So I've changed the design to a similar image, which I drew myself, basically copying the pose from their bunny, but an entirely new piece of art.  I didn't ask, but hopefully they won't object to my leaving the originals so that there's some context to all of this fuss.
