Rycote supports cultural link with Central Asia

Rycote’s distributor in France, Pilote Films, is taking part in a significant initiative not only to introduce French children to the power of photography but also extend this teaching to the nomad children in Central Asia.
The project known as “Step by Steppe”, supported by Rycote, and initiated by two young adventurers – Mai-Loan Bassot and Thibaut Faures – is underway in a Paris elementary school (Vigee Lebrun Elementary School), where the children are being introduced to the history of photography, its essential principles and the technical rules. The children have been given 12 photographic missions: to convey by pictures the French pupils daily life in order that children from Kazakh, Uzbek, Kirgize and Tadjik are able to understand at a glance what their lives are like.
The pictures will then be selected based on the best quality of shot, composition and the sensibility expressed by the pupils. This will be completed at the end of June 2006 when the pictures will be exhibited at the school. Following that the two project leaders will be turning a J5 Peugeot truck into a photographic laboratory and take the photographs taken by the Parisian children to those in Central Asia and start to spend time with the nomads teaching them the same principals.
Commented Vivienne Dyer, Rycote’s Managing Director: “We were keen to get involved in “Step by Steppe” as it really is a unique approach to capturing the nomad life in Central Asia and links the two cultures through children’s eyes.”
Two movies will be produced of the experience and Rycote is donating three Rycote windshield systems.
Rycote’s French distributor, Pilote Films, has been a part of the broadcasting and home entertainment markets for around 25 years, supplying to leading broadcast companies.
