I was contacted by WOUB about a documentary project we did for class on the DuPont C8 contamination in the Ohio River. The class was divided into teams for our final project and my team was made up of myself, Mike Burden, Lauren Malazia and Trevor Carmick. This class was actually in the T-Comm Department (Telecommunications) and all three of my teammates were T-Comm undergrad students in the film sequence. The subject was actually my idea and I did all the research and found all of the subjects for our documentary, as well as serving as the interviewer. I did not do a lot of work behind the camera for this project, but I did much of the editing in Final Cut Pro and all of the LiveType work.

I worked on this video project for The Soul of Athens, a multimedia project for Ohio University’s School of Visual Communication. The Spring 2008 project was titled, The Pursuit of Wellness in Athens County, which explored both the positive and negative aspects of the subject. I was part of a class where we were Content Producers, which essentially meant we were the team that managed and coordinated all the content for the site, most of which were video projects. We didn’t have much control over the design and mechanics of the site, which fell into the domain of another class at OU. But when it came to the content, we controlled most of it and worked with the technical team to make it work.

Soul of Athens was a special online project completed during Spring Quarter 2008. I was part of a class that handled the Content Management for the project. I found content from other students and coordinated with the project Team Leaders. I also handled a lot of trouble shooting and training for the project.
