UCF Blog
Before I started working for the Orlando Sentinel I contributed to their UCF Blog, part of their community bloggers project. While a student at UCF I shot pictures, video and wrote posts regarding news and issues around campus at the UCF area. Here are links to some of my more prominent posts:
- Five years later, UCF students speak out about Iraq War
- Street preachers at UCF an endless source of amusement
- Anti-abortion group’s display insults Jews, American Indians, blacks, Rwandans, the Sudanese and several other groups
- The results are in, Logan Berkowitz and Brandon Delanois are the SGA president and vice-president
- SGA candidates talk on first day of elections
- Logan and Brandon Campaigners refuse to answer questions (I didn’t write the post but I shot and edited the video)
Web project:
This is a Web project I worked on with Rick Brunson’s Metro Reporting class. My task was to create a quick, efficient and easily customizable way to present our story. Limited by time and technology I appropriated a Blogger page for our use. I even went so far as to negotiate with the Blogger Help Team in order to allow us to create a static page, something terms of service usually don’t allow.
For this task I took the videos and pictures shot by our writers (and some by me), edited them for all of the stories and packaged them together for the Web. I also created all of the maps and graphics and assisted with the editing of the stories. Being constrained by a limited budget (meaning none) and time, I used a variety of free technologies to accomplish this, including: Microsoft MovieMaker, Photobucket, a demo of InDesign and Photoshop.
