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.
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.
While there, my friend Jordan and I also created this video that was screened during the opening ceremonies.
The award-winning video created for the News Package competition.

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.
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.
