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.
I came up with the idea for our final project, so I was the Director and Producer. I did all the research and found all of the subjects for our project. I had three other people on the team. Our documentary was about Dupont leaking a chemical called C8 into the Ohio River in Southeast Ohio.
Project done for Soul of Athens by Jerome Nakagawa, but edited for Soul of Athens by Maria Averion. Project about a struggling family-owned dairy farm in Athens, Ohio. (Part of a class at Ohio University while in Grad School.)
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.
I got an offer from the AME for Photo to come and work on the Photo Desk as an editor. I started out as an Assignment Editor for the Features and Business sections. Part of the job dealt with making assignments and part of the job dealt with finding and researching photo for different stories. I even took a studio photo specifically for a business story instead of buying a similar photo. I coordinated the shoot and selected the one that would work (and I got a published credit for it).
I started working as a Systems Editor in the NewsIT Department in Sept. 1999. I worked as a CCI SuperUser and a Macintosh Specialist on the Help Desk. I ended up being the top Macintosh expert in the whole building, the go-to person for all Macintosh issues. I set up networking protocol when we went wireless, I set best practices and I was the main troubleshooter for photo and graphics issues on deadline.
