Clayton State University is offering a new study abroad program for 2015, Filmmaking in South Korea. For my field production class, a group of us set out to cover the excitement surrounding this program.
My first video project covers the Historic Ward Skate Park on the east of Atlanta’s Beltline Trail. The Beltline Trail is in Atlanta, Georgia and is a great place for everyone to take a walk around downtown. The skate park is well known after Tony Hawk, a famous skateboarder, announced his support to the building of the park by granting funds through the Tony Hawk Foundation.
I volunteered at a film and technology conference called GA’s Big Picture Con at my school’s campus, Clayton State University. It was one of the best experiences I ever felt. I enjoyed every moment of meeting people in the same industry as me. Nothing’s more fulfilling then being surrounded by the same people who can empathize on your passion for media.
If you want to know more about the past conference, check out their blog. I hope to see everyone next year!
I also had the opportunity to interview Nancy Howard, the founder of GA’s Big Picture Con. She is a great woman and an inspiration to us all in the film industry. She juggles another job, has a husband and 2 children, and still makes time to help me. I am so grateful for her. She is truly an advocate for education in Media! So please check out my Video Profile on Nancy Howard, called Her Big Picture. This is my second video ever to create. I would love feedback and insight to develop my craft.
