We had a good week on “BOA” – our introduction to the studio very went well and we’ll be ready for our first studio rehearsal. Thank you to all who braved the storm! The shoot with Eric Tait also went very well – thanks to the good work by Michael, Crystal and Shane.
On Tuesday Crystal will be shooting her story about transferring to a 4-year school. She will be meeting ay S506 at 12:30pm- I cannot attend this shoot – you will now be shooting mostly on your own. . We could use help! If anyone is available please contact Crystal at 917-570-2391.
Feb 27 -Wednesday meeting at 2pm -3:30pm S506. A few interns are needed at 1:30- we hope to be shooting the Music Club practicing and recording in the audio studio. Let me know if you can make it early.
Feb 29 Friday Studio Rehearsal 10am-2pm S510
If there is any other shoots in the works please let me know!
There have been some changes in our stories- here is what we are working on:

3. Being a person of color and/or a woman in the media business: Producer: Jennifer Beltre. This is a continuation of a story that was shot last semester at the CUNY Media Conference. Need to review footage to see if any additional shoots are needed. Most footage is loaded except for the seminar by Jocyln Taylor.

5. Prof. Ruff’s Success Workshop: Producer, Kenny Second. Continuation of a story shot last semester. A look at the workshop & hints for student as they enter the business world. Need to load tape #1- all others are loaded - and begin to edit.

If a Picture is worth a 1000 words...
...this video is worth 4,470,000 words(30 fps times 149 seconds times 1000).
This video shows the things I did (and what others interns do) during the BMCC on Air internship. Definitely a very good experience for me and I highly recommend all the students (specially the VAT ones) to take advantage of this opportunity to expand their knowledge in areas such as: Directing, Producing, Writing, Editing, among other areas the students are interested. And since directing and editing were the most enjoyable, gratifying and challenging part of the internship for me, I wanted to highlight those in this video. I want to thank Prof. Ellis for all the suggestions to improve my work and for answering and explaning all the questions (lots of questions) I had during the internship. Also, I want to thank Rosie for letting me use some of her footage. Enjoy!

Experience at Bmcc On Air.
It was been a rewarding experience being part of "BMCC On Air since the beginning Fall 2006, it has grown to be the best training in and Television News at BMCC. I have learned so much i.e editing, producing, directing floor managing. Everything you have learned in your VAT classes you put to use in BMCC On Air. In the beginning I wasn't as confident in my skills but BMCC On Air has taught me to be more confident. I continue to volunteer at BMCC On Air to reinforce my skills. Also, being part of BMCC On Air has given me a better understanding of how the Television news works.

Life after BMCC on Air.
Hello my name is Trisha and I joined this internship in the Spring of 2007. My experience here has changed my life by allowing me to get a better idea of my strengths and weakness. Working in a team is essential and if you decide to continue your studies or work in this field (or any field); this structure will make the transition easier. The highlights for me from this internship was the opportunity to work on my own story, working as a host (really cool), and even being a substitute director. It strengthened me in some areas, and gave me courage in others.
Currently I am attending City College in the BFA film program, along with some formal BMCC on Air members. We had the advantage of entering the semester as a team and collectively we produced some great pieces. I hope to share my experiences with you as I grow as a film maker through this blog.
