I just took the leap! My intention was to start small and edit smaller projects in Final Cut Pro X, until I started feeling more comfortable to make the switch and start using it consistently. But the rendering on this year’s Fifth Grade production of “The Nutcracker” was driving me crazy and I simply didn’t… Read more

This week was my week to write for “Flourish,” our community blog at work. Here is my post:   Grandfather clock standing in the hall Tall and straight up on the wall Talking to us, telling us the time One through twelve, he loves to chime “Ding” goes one, “ding dong” goes two Then three,… Read more

Earlier today, I was preparing an article for this week’s e-newsletter. I wasn’t satisfied with the image that was sent to me, so I polished it in Photoshop. This is certainly not an example of my most earth-shattering work, but what it does illustrate is my role in action. My title at Trinity is Digital… Read more

This post has the potential of being all over the place, as are my thoughts. This morning, as I prepared to attend a memorial service, for some reason, this song from my 6th grade graduation popped into my mind: “You’re the One” by Babbie Mason. I’m still not sure why, but I had to listen… Read more

I feel the need to include this disclaimer for the video at the end of this post: I am, by no means, showcasing this video as part of my portfolio or as anything even close to my best work. It’s simply an artifact of my learning. From the moment Apple released Final Cut Pro X… Read more

Uncle Richard, Uncle Toy, Uncle Reginald(Thanks, Uncle Richard, for letting me use your picture!) The last couple of weeks haven’t been pleasant for my family, and they’ve felt more like months. We lost a loved one–my great uncle (“Uncle Toy”)–to cancer. When I talked to him on his 75th birthday in July and asked how… Read more

I produced these two videos within the last month or so. The first one I produced on August 28, right after the inaugural lap around the track, in which the entire school took part. The second one I just produced last Monday (September 30) after the official Track Dedication on Saturday (September 28), which was… Read more

I spent most of today replacing the photos on Trinity’s home page, which doesn’t sound like a very time-consuming project, but the strategy that goes into it probably takes more time than the actual execution…well, almost. Below is a picture of my method around this time last year. I simplified my method a little this… Read more

I wrote a post last month about leaving room when planning for posts on social media, and I found this (below) quite amusing: This is I envisioned September before it started vs. how September actually unfolded. Random posting is definitely not the name of the game. Read more
