Well, another semester at school, and being a senior brings its responsibilities...and that responsibility is called capstone. Senior capstone, for those of you random readers whom aren't aware, is a class seniors must complete in order to graduate. This class, a lot like a senior project in high school, is supposed to be the accumulation of all that I (the student) have learned throughout their tenure here at Westminster put into a project, paper, etc. to prove to the faculty within the major that we are prepared to move onto the real world. My capstone project: documentary.
I have yet to formally begin my 5-7 minute documentary (in which I have little to no experience creating) about our live sports remote broadcasting truck and its ever excitingly fearless leader, Chuck Chirozzi. Chuck is our department's chief engineer/schools jack of all trades. Now why would I be as foolish as to pick something that I have no experience, credentials, yadda yadda yadda with? Very simple, because Titan Crew, as we refer to it, is my life. For better or worse, almost every Saturday morning at 9 I roll out of bed, in my drunken/hung over state and prepare to go to work. I direct the show, involving around 9 people to successfully complete, and I am going on my second year of doing so. This has been the greatest experience of my short career in communications, and for some odd reason...I love it. Now if you refer back to the aforementioned chief engineer, he is going to retire after this school year. Whether you like him or not, he is a large part of both out department and our school and not one thing has been done to record this or honor him, however you would like to refer to it, and I think something along those lines is in order. The only problem is...where the hell do I begin?
I begin this Saturday, shooting footage, figuring out how I will get interviews, and pulling my hair out to complete this. Needless to say...lets hope I graduate. Stay tuned for my saga. All the ups, downs, and hopefully completed project...
