For a Good Cause

This week began a bit slow, but picked up after a surprise shoot with 4pm anchor Alicia Vitarelli who organized a prom dress give away with a local community college. The Cumberland County College is hosting an event called "Belle of the Ball" that aims to help underprivileged high school seniors afford prom dresses. Alicia and a few people in the news room collected old dresses to give away to the college. I did a mini behind the scenes project with a strict deadline of 4pm before the newscast began. How stressful! It turned out great and I was so proud that I was able to shoot and edit and the segment under a tight deadline.

Here is the link of the video published on Action News' and Alicia's facebook pages.

The next big project I'm preparing for, is for my standup reel. As an aspiring reporter myself, it is essential that I have demo reel out on the field reporting stories. Although I haven't prepared full packages, I've created about 20 journalistic stand-ups that I'll spend all day shooting this Saturday. Since 6abc is owned and operated by Disney, interns are allowed to operate equipment. This was exciting news for me and I can not wait to compile my first reel. I love the camera, so hopefully the camera will love me back!
