The first issue of Trinity This Week (Trinity’s weekly e-newsletter) goes out tomorrow, the first day of school. I spent a little time today tweaking the template. I finally got rid of that HORRIBLE orange color of the hyperlinks (I’ve always hated that color; while I was at it, I changed it for the whole… Read more

Emotional + Collage = Emotiollage (e – mo’ – shə – lŏj) (I kinda like this new word of mine. ☺) Emotiollage This is my emotiollage…currently. It’s pretty full, and my feeling is that I’m sitting on the precipice. A turning point perhaps? A break-through? In what aspect? Monumental? Minimal? Only time will tell. I… Read more

One month ago today, the Trinity School community was dealt a devastating blow, when Alicia Andreou, our Associate Head of School, lost her battle with cancer. The news came the day before I was to leave for Texas to visit the newest member of our family, and since the “official business” on my part (configuring/publishing… Read more

I ran into a pretty big issue yesterday afternoon that I’ve never encountered. I went to compress/export a project for DVD in Compressor, something that I could probably do with my eyes closed. It’s a matter of a couple of clicks…maybe three. But I got this message: “Unable to submit to queue. Please restart your… Read more

The clock ticking down in the corner of the screen during the test, resulting in sweating and shaking, was all worth it! I scored 92.42%! Plus, my boss knew I was… Read more

My official title at Trinity is “Webmaster & Production Studio”, but I have gradually taken it upon myself to change it to “Webmaster & Video Producer” when I tell people, because I’m not really a place. ☺ So I found it pretty funny when a co-worker was in my office a couple of weeks ago,… Read more

I produced Trinity’s 2012 Spring Annual Fund Appreciation Video last week. This production is 2:58 in duration, while the song itself is about 3:54 in duration. My goal was to balance brevity with maintaining the effect of these bi-annual videos, so I edited it to include the “best” parts of the song (climactic areas, compelling… Read more

This has been quite a week. The curve balls life throws at us can leave us breathless and speechless, but so can these moments, and I am so incredibly grateful! Holding my nephew yesterday, there were moments when I could do nothing but stare in amazement. All of this is still so unbelievable…especially when I… Read more

  I feel like all I’ve seen within the last week are SLOW-MOVING blue bars like these. I am learning A LOT about handling HD footage! The biggest revelation is that everything takes longer! Rendering. Compressing. Uploading. The ONLY thing I’ve found so far that doesn’t take any longer is the actual importing process, which… Read more

I produced this promo for Trinity School’s 60th Anniversary Speakers Series Finale event, a panel discussion on 21st Century learning skills. Below is the video screen image I created that was embedded in the broadcast email. I also took a screenshot of my work in progress, as I drew the puzzle pieces.   Read more
