For my internship with The Times Beacon Record I had to photograph a local Memorial Day Parade.
I took several dozen pictures while I was there and the newspaper editor selected three of them to appear on the cover of the next issue of The Times of Middle Country.

As the first Multimedia Intern for Times Beacon Record Newspapers, a local community newspaper that distributes papers I’ve been making short video packages highlighting events in the community. This weekend, I went to Stony Brook University’s campus and filmed their Earthstock Festivities. The video was featured on the paper’s homepage.
I’ll be working with TBR through the summer to create more videos, help develop their webpage, and learn more about the newsroom.
In my Advanced Advertising Arts course, I was given one week to put together a video that would be shown to students at my district’s junior high schools to promote the series of courses offered in Room 111, one of the art rooms in Ward Melville HS. I used footage from a promotional video I put together for the Advertising Arts course, footage I was able to get from a former Yearbook student, and new footage filmed by myself and my friend Andrew Visconti. Graphics were created by Justin Suazo. The music is by El Ten Eleven and was used with permission.
This is one of the first wedding highlight videos that I’ve done for I-Do Video, a wedding and party videographer. I received the footage and edited a highlight montage set to their wedding song (Phish’s Wading in a Velvet Sea) for the client’s DVD.
I attended the JEA/NSPA High School Journalism Convention in Washington D.C. While there, I participated in a write-off competition where I and a partner had to create a 90 second news package about Diversity in under four hours. The video won a Superior award, which was the highest award given and was only won by one other team in the category and 15% of all write-off entrants.
