"Please join us as we honor Dr. Zeigler's many contributions to San Antonio College on Thursday, May 1st from 3 to 5 p.m. in the McAllister Auditorium."

We should and you need it. We could have a good video coming out of this?

Let me know ASAP!

YouTube is always good too.


Some of these get a bit complicated but, there are some that are basic set-up.  Just have to go through them and find what you are comfortable with viewing.

There are a couple of good internet sites for learning how to use flash outside.  One is

Although the report is not due until April 29. I would strongly suggest you not wait until the last week to do this assignment. You will not make it because you will likely have other things to do. 
You can always turn in this assignment early. You can break it in parts and do one each week and turn them in one by one. Do not procrastinate, you have more than a month to do this. Start doing it now!

Came across this.  What do you think.  Photographer claims he was not doing anything wrong.  Police said he had no right.

New way to cover news, is it legal?

Quiz reminder and more

Folks,

I am pretty sure I have told you that your need to read Ch. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 11 of Kobre's visualjournalism book and a quiz will be held this coming Tuesday. These are very important readings for you to learn to be successful in shooting documentary and news video. It is a must read.
I am reading those chapters now for making up the quiz. I am hoping that you will also be reading them now or you have already finished reading them.

Also, you are supposed to give me your critic topics on documentary videos on kobreguide's site and mediastorm site. So far, I have only one student does that. This is not the first time homework requirements are not turn in on time. Do I need to apply real penalties to enforce that?

You do not have video assignments to shoot this week, other than those you did not finished (quiz video, instructional video). It is time to play catch up now. I expect better performance.

Mediastorm: "Remember These Days"
Kobre guide: "Denied"

Robbin's Stock Show and Rodeo video is up on the Ranger Online!

Another fine job! Are there more to come?

Check out Daniel's Chinese New Year video, a nice piece!

About posting assignment phtoos

Just to remind you that for Ranger assignment photos, we will not publish them or post them until the Ranger use them. However, photos of ourselves in action is okay.

On assignment: Rodeo field trip!

Late proposals!

There is only one student, Robbin, turn in her instructional video proposal. This is a deadliine issue and we are in the deadline business. You have to take this seriously. I wlll apply late penalty to this issue. The later you turn in the proposal, the more penalty you will get. I would like to see the proposal be turn in to the wk3 folder asap.
