Live On Air

Last week we interviewed this guy named Trenton. We learned a lot about his degree in cinematography! We also learned that he went to Southern Illinois in Carbondale.  He made two music videos so far that I have seen. And I would say those videos were fantastico! He said he uses story boards to help him. They are like little maps.  But I really don't like working with storyboards because I think that's more work. Anyways Trenton said every client comes up with ideas off the wall.  But he still can make it work. He also networks with people. Because he likes what they're doing and he thinks that they should work together. He owns and founded his own company. Which is now located in Atlanta,Georgia. Thanks for reading my blog stay tuned in for my final and last one! 

Learning Graphic Design

A couple weeks ago we interviewed Mireya. Now we are being nice and sharing it with you so read closely.  Mireya went to the Art Center of Design in Pasadena, California.  Her degree is bachelors of fine arts.  Her career is graphic design but at first she wanted to be a lawyer, but then realized she was interested in graphic design.  Now she is working on a lot of projects. She has her own business in her apartment, and she has owned her own business over seven years. She likes working with pencil and paper because she can express herself more. I like working with pencil and paper because I can draw. And I like drawing.  With design she said it starts with many problems. She said she likes for people to give her bad feed back if that's what's needed. She doesn't want them walking around having to deal with that design if they don't like it.  She also said she think we will be interested in many things. I liked this interview because she show us her art materials. By the way she has a lot of color pencils and pencils. This was one of my most fav interviews because she showed us what she worked with. She even showed us her work pad with her sketches! So I hope you learned what we did. Oh yeah and I'm going to have her design me a pair of those new shoes. I wonder what she will say?

 The class of 2025 interveiwed Chris Streeter the Co-Founder of Educreations. We learned so much about Chris, and we would like to share it with the world. Chris went to UC Berkley in California, and he graduated with a degree of computer science. His ideas for Educreations started while he worked at a company, and him and his friend wanted to do something more interesting. So that's when they made Educreations. Educreations is an app were you can create learning videos. He said computer programing is based on math, and it is like a different language. His sixth grade teacher inspired him to do his career. Khan academy inspired him to make Educreations. He made Educreations because teachers didn't have time to help students that needed help. Chris is interested in education because most of his family members was teachers. He likes getting feed back from teachers and students. Chris and his partner are working on saving your work in progress. They are working on lots of things based on feed back. So that's what we learned.
