Issue #231 – Apprentices in Action
by Liya Swift
Recent Radio Connection for Radio Broadcasting graduate Lady Rocka Chi, who trained with Victor Akoko of VPS Media, has a zeal for learning and discovery that’s downright infectious. Turns out, that curiosity goes way back:
“This was a cool assignment. I reported the weather in sunny L.A and then in cold Boston…My mentor said I should smile [while] I’m reporting the weather and be friendly like I’m in conversation…
I always wondered how I would do at reporting the weather. As a child, I used to practice playing ‘weather girl’…I thought it was interesting on TV…Then, as I got older and wiser, I realized the actual process. They don’t even have that board in front of them. Must take some getting used to when it’s all green screen!”
Film Connection for Film Production & Editing student Aaron Weitlauf, who externs with mentor Zac Adams of SkyDive Films, is being trusted to work on professional shoots! In a recent blog post, Aaron talks about how, in just a matter of months, he’s learned valuable skills and become more self-assured:
“My skill level at the start of this program in August was a beginner, a novice at best. I was brand new to a film set. Now, I’m directing my own videos and making promising relationships with clients as a filmmaker…I’ve kept [up] a great relationship with [director] Sergio Vazquez…On the most recent shoot, we were doing combat choreography in relation to fight scenes. Watching a seasoned director work with actors in a combat setting was insightful…I now have the confidence to properly square up two individuals in an intense action scene.”
