The last few months have been a blur.  Not only have I been editing like a madman, I also traveled cross-country from Oceanside, CA to Miami, FL (and back) during the holidays in an RV.  My family and I had an AMAZING time!  Not to mention my wife and I are expecting a new addition to the family, so we are excited for what the future will bring.

I have also been pretty busy in the work department, mainly editing various videos and working as a production assistant.  Below is a video I edited for the CalState San Marcos Athletics department as part of their application for NCAA Division II membership.  I was handed a hard drive with a bunch of footage (shot by interns, so please take it easy on them and me), then I was asked to make a short video to highlight the CSUSM Athletics department and its facilities.  The good news was that there was a ton of footage and the bad news was that there was a ton of footage, LOL.  I am confident that CSUSM Athletics is ready for the NCAA and I feel privileged to have had a helping hand in their quest for bigger and brighter future.  According to the CSUSM Athletics website, the NCAA decision should come in mid-July.  Fingers crossed.

 

With graduation approaching (May 19th), I have to say that I am feeling a bit overwhelmed.  In addition to the presentations and papers due for school, I am also working on 4 different video projects, two of which are for school, not to mention trying to look for a job in this economy.  Anyway, this semester, I was one of three lucky students to be selected as paid video production interns by the Communication department at California State University San Marcos (CSUSM).  The purpose of the internship is to produce four short videos for the school’s website that highlight various aspects of the school and hopefully attract more students.  My two partners and I have chosen to swap roles for each video, however, since we have at least 2 cameras per shoot, we end up overlapping roles all the time (we have all shot video).  The only job we don’t really overlap on is the actual editing because it is difficult for us all to do the editing and it is just not practical.  I edited and worked camera for our first video, which focuses on a couple of the research opportunities offered by CSUSM.  One of the reasons I was so excited about this internship (aside from getting paid) was that I knew I would have the chance to put my newly created dolly to good use.  Check out the first two videos below.
