I am very proud of this project because is the first time that I have put one of my poems into a piece of work for the program and really anything in general. I feel that this video has the capability to open the eyes of many people who still have not been exposed to a real strong black woman.
This assignment is, quite possibly, the hardest and most frustrating project I have yet experienced in either of my two summers of SMASH Tech classes. Getting the footage was not difficult, but piecing together was frustrating. I had a lot of trouble getting the edits to work the way I wanted them to work, as well as some serious file malfunctions that made it really difficult for me to stay at all motivated to finish this assignment.
My project includes the basics of my Sundays during the SMASH session and an overview of what my day focuses on.
My Documentary is called Dinner Uncovered. I went around and asked SMASH students how important dinner was to them to help them find friendship and family, especially being a way from home for 5 weeks.
Hello everyone,
As you may already k ow for my assignment 2 I decided to do it on how there is still a KID inside of us. I interview SMASH scholars and I asked them questions for example, if they believed that there was still a kid inside of us. All the people that I asked told me that there was and that it didn’t matter how old there were there was still going to be a kid inside of them no matter what. In this video I also have a part where I have my family playing around and preparing for a water fight. YAY!!!!!!! well I hope that you guys enjoy the clip.
I wanted to do a segment on leadership because I think that leadership in one’s life is very important whether one experiences it or is the leader. After having several years of experience as a leader, I’ve come to realize that anyone can be a leader and this video was made in hopes of that.
I created this video with one simple purpose and that is to inform the general public about global warming. I know that there are many contradictions and some people say that global warming is just a cyclical process the planet goes every couple of a million years and some say that this process is being sped up by our daily human activities. I in particular am not sure who to believe, but all I know is that we are doing something wrong by polluting our planet. This video is not meant to change anyones perspective of global warming but I am just giving you my view point in this topic. I hope that you will enjoy this video.
This is a documentary that begins by introducing people to the SMASH Academy and then focusing on the SMASH Elections. From there, SMASH scholars give their thoughts about this year’s elections compared to the previous years and whether they believe it is more effective to have a committee of people willing to be in this student council rather than a select few who are voted in.

In this HMB Production, we will take a look into the diverse side of Creativity, specifically document three individuals affiliated with SMASH and how their own paths of creativity do not correlate to others, as everyone should express themselves in a relaxed manner that appeals to them, and not be pressure to express creativity in a specific way.
Thank you for watching

HSM2 is coming back? NO WAY! It’s my family — they’re gathering for the 4th of July holiday.
Hope you’ll enjoy this.
For my second assignment, i traveled over the bridge to the Foothill Dining Commons where i was able to see and ask about the food being served there. The food there, while it was not “homemade”, still contained valuable nutrients necessary for daily life. The dining commons provided many choices of foods to choose from, including a salad bar and a sandwich bar.
The purpose of this assignment was to capture the true thoughts of SMASH scholars and staff about the food. The hardest part of this assignment was actually figuring out how to get started. After planning out what i have to film and who i have to interview, it was easy to film and edit the clips.
I chose to do my presentation on Fourth of july because it seemed appropriate for the occasion because I was filming over fourth of july weekend.
Also, I know that most people’s idea of what is celebrated on the fourth of july is false. It is said that we celebrate this day in July beasue that was when we gained independence from Great Britain, but that is not so. Creating this documentary I am able to inform others while providing a slightly humorous way to do so.
So, our second assignment was to pick any topic and do a short documentary on it. I choose to do my documentary on my mother and her job being a single mother to my sister and I.
For assignment 2 I plan to try to find out what it means and takes to be a scholar. I will talk about what a traditional idea of a scholar is and what scholars are now. The video will include interviews of scholars, teachers, and any one else that spends a lot of time around scholars. Hopefully by the end of the video I will have discovered what a scholar is and maybe even how to turn some one into a scholar.
Football Videowell for my assignment, Im going to document the rivalry football game between the third years and the second years with the first years in the mix…its an interesting concept because its funny how competitive how the smash scholars are
Hey! It’s Jose. So for this assignment, I have to do some sort of documentary. After struggling to find a good subject, my RA Ashley finally suggested I do something about the tree sitters here in Berkeley. I personally know nothing about the situation, so for this documentary I will see how informed the rest of my SMASH peers are. Little do they know, they will be teaching me too as I go along. So lets see how up to date these SMASHers are on their current events!
Subject: SMASH Elections
For my video, I will have interviews of people who ran and those who have not and what they think about the process of the SMASH elections. As well, I will have still and panning shots of the actual election. My main focus will be the good and the bad about the SMASH elections and possibly some solutions that could help fix the bad stuff, if any.
