Ahhh!! My stay here is coming to an end, but with any luck I'll be back next summer! I'll do a wrap up post with some of the videos I've worked on and pictures of projects and such, but right now just wanted to quickly post the current happenings.
Last weekend and the weekend before I spent doing interviews for my independent study. First at Southeastern Guidedogs, where I got to speak with a trainer and three visually impaired 'students' (to take a guide dog home with them, they have to spend a month on the campus training and learning how to work with the dog.) Then I spend a week in West Palm with two FHP K9 units and just had a blast. I can't wait to see them all again!
Here at work, we brought in the Fall intern and I've been showing him some of the ropes. Very nice guy, goes to Ringling College of Art & Design. Salt & Light just launched a new program where non-profit organizations nationwide can benefit from the promos and PSAs that are created. It's just in the very beginning stages but it looks very promising for reaching more people nationwide.
Also here at work, one of the concepts I presented is starting to take off as a potential documentary and the new intern is very interested in it as well. So, hopefully I may see some good come from an idea that was originally mine! :-) In a nutshell, the topic is cyber bullying and how it's lead to multiple suicides and many cases of harassment.
Well, more later as I finish up my projects and start to pack for home!!
