Even though this probably isn't the most fun media experience, it was definitely an experience to say the least. Over the summer I went on two wilderness hiking / camping trips, one in upstate NY and the other in northern Maine. Both were awesome experiences but they were significant to me because I was cut off from any and all media that I have grown so addicted to over the years. Look, I'm on a mountain!
In addition to this, two summers ago a small group of high school friends and I started a foundation to promote healthy living for specifically high school students. The brains behind this group was Luke Neilson, while myself, Evan Moreshead and Amy Mantis worked together to create a video, a website and a basic premise for the group. This summer we created a still frame video with a encouraging message, (don't tell anyone, we have it done, we just haven't released it yet) last summer we made a video to promote ourselves which you can see below. Everything in this video is original. Amy created the music, while I did the camerawork and editing, Luke and Evan managed the production.
I really like working with new technology and learning about new opportunities with technology. Also really like having endless information at my fingertips and the ability to instantly communicate with others at all times. With all these wonderful things that technology can do for us, comes an addiction. I really dislike how addicting technology is and how much in trouble we are in without it.
I can safely say that I don't really know what I want to do with my life. But who does? I'm a broadcasting major here at Champlain and I began with the thought that I'd like to work in television news. I've always had an interest in video, and I am very good using video to tell a story. I'm now keeping my options open, as journalism has been an interest of mine for a while now. For now I'm just going to see where the next two years of college take me.
