Over the summer, I had the opportunity to make a promotional video at my internship about the overall internship program.
This summer, I had a video internship in Washington DC where I was making videos for a progressive think tank. What I liked about the experience was that it gave me the opportunity to have creative freedom and control over my projects: I chose the subject, conducted the necessary pre-production and research, went out and interviewed various people and then came back to do editing on Final Cut.
One of the videos I made was a piece that explored the adverse affects of cutting government funding to the anti-aid poverty program WIC, which provides nutritional assistance to low income mothers and their families. This was my favorite piece I worked on this summer, and it even got mentioned in the Washington Post!
Hello everyone!
After a very long summer hiatus where I was busy working at a video internship for the Center for American Progress, it’s time to head back to university to finish my last year of undergraduate studies. I cannot believe I’m a senior already! I realise there is still so much I need to accomplish/learn this year including:
1) Becoming familiar with Avid
2) Becoming familiar with Final Cut X
3) Becoming familiar with ProTools
4) Becoming familiar with After Effects
5) Improving my photography/getting quality stills to put together for a portfolio
6) Creating an impressive demo reel to show to prospective employers
7) Producing AT LEAST 3 personal video projects: an experimental “sensory” video, a narrative film that’s been in my mind for weeks and an interesting documentary on something. There’s a lot of preparation needed for all of this-but hopefully I can get all of this done!
The flyer below is the first time I have had to design a flyer. Working under a speedy deadline, I used Photoshop to create this flyer that was being sent out for a fundraiser in New York to support rural health in Jamkhed India. While I realise this is by no means a work of art, I don’t think this is too bad for my first time, either.
Laura Wylie, a senior education major, approached me at the end of last semester to make a video resume for her in her application for a school job she was considering. I was more than happy to help her.
let the photos speak for themselves!

I took a class called Editing the Moving Image this semester and the first video assignment we had was to edit footage (and sync up all the audio which had been recorded separately) to a short film noir piece called “Poker Fingers.” The film was originally shot as a project between Elon University students and faculty and a production crew in Yanceyville studio.
Last night, I got to see the fabulous Trans-Siberian Orchestra in concert at the Charlotte Bobcats Arena. It was an amazing experience; like going to an opera and a heavy metal gig all at once. Here are some pics!

So i went to the beach with my whole big extended family for Thanksgiving. A lot of the pics i took were snapshots and/or cheesy family portraits so I’ll spare you from seeing all of those. Here instead are a couple of shots I took that I rather like.

Early on this semester, for TV production class, I had an assignment to do a profile on a musician at Elon University. So I chose Frank Hurd, an amazingly talented and humble senior who writes his own songs.
