Hey Everyone!

So, after meeting with Dom from Tides/Momentum tonight, we’ve decided that anyone who wishes to be selected for the conference must email me or simon a short essay (300-500 words) on why they want to attend the conference and what sort of media piece they would create (podcast, video, otherwise). We will select students whose essays demonstrate an interest in the conference subject matter as well as a drive to create  a short 3 minute media clip.

We can only take a limited number of students, so if you would like to go, you must complete this essay no later that Tuesday morning. Understand that this is not a writing competition, but a requirement for attending the conference, as there are a limited number of spots. Please feel free to comment on this post or ask me questions at anytime.

Hey you two, I really enjoyed your Assignment 3 Silent Video.  It was very creative, informative, and really fun to watch.  I just felt I had to give some kudos for that.  I can’t wait until we get to start on that project!!

For assignment #2 I am actually debating on doing one of the several things: I want to do a short documentary of how the cafeteria food at UC Berkeley affects the students and their regular lives, I also want to do a documentary illustrating how the world is becoming more technological and more dependent on technology everyday, or I was also thinking of doing a short video on how lack of sleep affects a persons life. I am still indecisive, but hopefully soon ill be able to make up my mind. What I am really trying to focus on is trying to do a video that has an impact on people, but that it is also comical in some way to make it entertaining. This is my plan and ill do my best to create a good video.
