Apprentices in Action
 

A Day in the Life of Our Students

   Film Connection student Max Jagodzinski (Minneapolis, MN) who apprentices with Travis Johansen at Provid Films has been going non-stop: I have been super busy lately with projects all over the country! I was in San Diego filming for a sorority in San Diego with my company CampusLens.  Then, I was in Los Angeles filming an event hosted by Skybound Trampolines. Today I just got back from Los Angeles (again) filming with my buddy for a swimsuit company…I love all the diverse fields I am working in. Music festivals, greek life, professional athletes, and unique corporate companies. I’m really glad I have learned some of the business side of videos from my mentor, Travis. One thing I’ve learned through experience is you just need to put yourself out there. Build your network and leave your customer with more then expected. Referrals are a huge part in getting more business. Overall, the best way to start is to dive in head first and really build your connections!” Check out one of Max’s videos below!    During her time with mentor Joey Paranoia, Recording Connection student Emily Stamer (Orlando, FL) is using the insight and skills she’s growing to make her dreams reality. Speaking of a recent show, Emily says, “It was the best feeling in the world. My first 2 sets I ever had were a week before that and there were many tech problems so this was the first time everything went smoothly and I killed my set. I had people coming up to me afterwards, taking photos and telling me how much they loved my music. It was the most magical feeling I’ve ever felt. My LUCY project has been going great I have 2 mixes up on my soundcloud @LucyWub. “i like wubs” has over 5k views already for the month its been out!…After meeting with my mentor Joey Paranoia I knew this was the school for me. He has traveled the world and has played with so many djs/producers. Also the fact he’s a certified Ableton trainer I was like sign me up! He is the best teacher I have ever had. In January I was just a girl with a dream.. and he made it a reality for me.”
