Read My Latest Blog PostsToday, New York got over a foot of snow. I wasn’t up for traveling too far out of the house but I did break out my videocamera. I took a few shots from the porch and in the dining room and edited it together to a Sufjan Stevens song.
Filmed and edited on February 10th 2010.
A blog post from the NSPA website
My friend Jordan Michnoff and I created this video on our own initiative at the JEA/NSPA Journalism Convention. We spent about a half hour in the hotel’s glass elevator and created a time lapse video. I overlaid this during editing with sound bytes of people that stepped into the elevator talking about the convention. On a whim, I went down to the convention desk and showed the video to Marc Wood, the communications director of the NSPA. He liked the video so much that they showed it at the closing ceremony and posted it on their website.
I was featured in Newsday as a Long Island Scholar Artist. This award is only given to 20 high school seniors each year and I was the only winner this year for video production. I had my picture taken and a profile featured in an October issue of Newsday and will be attending an awards ceremony in the Spring.
A video that I shot and edited for the band O.A.R.’s video contest. The goal was to feature clips of my town set to their single “This Town.” Out of all the entries, my video came in second place.
