Gaston began conducting video production activities with his 5th grade students in 2011. The initial activities provided a great deal of insight into conducting video production projects in the classroom. Knowing that most teachers did not have a background in video production, he developed a list of steps for conducting these activities with students. These steps helped teachers better visualize how this activity would look in the classroom and they served as a flexible guide through the process. It was during this time that Joe began to refer to this process as Collaborative Video Production (CVP).
