Days off in Rexburg

They're really not that exciting unless you go somewhere else, because everything on campus shuts down. This video explains what I did with my day off as well as what I didn't do, but really wanted to do.

BYU-Idaho Writers Workshop

The Writer's Workshop at BYU-Idaho gives students a chance to share their writing in a friendly, constructive environment. Fellow students and writers comment and critique each other's writing to help each other improve. Many who attend the workshop feel this is a helpful addition to English classes because they can get critique every week. Others say the workshop helps them get a sense of what the average person thinks about their writing, rather than English teachers and majors. The Workshop meets Wednesday nights from 7:30 to 9:00 in Smith 322. To find out more and see what workshop attendees think, watch the following video.

Behind the scenes

I made this video for a school project. However, it was not the first idea I had. Originally, I wanted to do a story about how people who play World of Warcraft have lives outside of Azeroth. Unfortunately, my source bailed. Then, I decided to do a story about traffic laws in Rexburg, but my police contact was out of town. Then, I decided to cover an event at a local water park. The event was postponed. Finally, I turned to the Writers Workshop for help. They were more than happy to work with me and help me get this story done.

Even then, I still had a lot of problems, the biggest being my inability to turn up the volume on some of my interviews. Now that I have this experience under my belt, I'll hopefully be able to avoid all the problems I ran into this time around.

Rough cut for my first story. Audio levels are still funky and I'm still having trouble with Final Cut.

The Japanese Dub

Due dates are important. That's why you should always pay attention to what they are instead of guessing. This video will show you what your project may look like if you don't know the due dates and have to improvise something at the last minute. Word of advice: DON'T.
