Recently I had the plasure of guest staring on on “The Vlogger Interviews”.  A show where 3 time Emmy Winner Rich Samuels talks to Youtubers about their channels and the way they see social media.

I want to mention that Rich has a project currently on Indiegogo called “Life Online” http://www.indiegogo.com/lifeonline

This project is to found a documentary (something that Rich knows a lot about doing) about a family of Youtubers.  Besides from being a great topic  (forgive me I’m a little bias) it does relate to the modern would interacting with social media.

Once again I suggest that this project deserves to be looked at and founded (again look at the site http://www.indiegogo.com/lifeonline for details).  This documentary will be made whether the goal on Indiegogo is met or not, but more founding means a better project (the documentary could start sooner  and Rich could afford to spend more time on it).  If you look there are “Perks” for donations”.

Most of the world is on social media, however there is so much to these outlets such as Youtube that most people just don’t realize.  So please check  out http://www.indiegogo.com/lifeonline

Apart of my day job is to assist the video production program at the university.  This includes trouble shooting problems with equipment, setting up equipment, helping students in the studio, along with various other tasks.

I was asked in the summer (2012) if I could assist during two classes to provide one-on-one time during an Intro to video class (helping with editing and learning cameras) as well as Intro to Broadcast Studio (helping the professor to learn the equipment then helping the students).

(A tutorial I did to help answer some questions from a student)

I agreed not knowing how much this description would change.  During these classes I would give lectures and actually teach the studio portion of the Broadcast Studio course.  This is in no means to discredit the professors teaching these courses. They are both great Professors that gave me a chance get more involved and expand on areas that they may lack in experience wise.

In the future if possible I would like to teach a class of my own 🙂
