Wow.
I didn't realize I haven't updated since being at IU! So, here you have it. And this time, there is an added bonus: you get to see my first video package from my J520 class! It's a visual communications course designed to give us hands-on experience with using cameras to tell stories. Just a bit different from my print background. It's definitely fun, though.
As for life at IU, it's been interesting--but in a good way! It's definitely nice walking everywhere and not worrying about gas. This isn't to say I'm without any worries, though. Try crossing the street over here. You'll see what I mean...quickly. This is why I shouldn't ever try going anywhere before 9 a.m. It's just not safe for anyone!
Aside from enjoying the gorgeous weather and scenery (fall pix to come), I've just been busy with school--esp. with my video comm. class. While it's a demanding class, it's also really enjoyable and applicable to the real world if I choose to go that route. Plus, it never hurts to have some clips of any media!
Now for the video. We had to research, shoot/edit video, and write a script for a project geared toward diversity. We basically had to profile one person who we thought represented diversity, putting it into context of a "bigger story." I chose to interview Jenelle Dorner, a 7th-year PhD student at IU who has mitochondrial disease, causing fatigue and numerous other problems.
While some minor errors are definitely there, I feel like it came together pretty nicely. Enjoy, and don't be afraid to leave a comment or tell me what you think!

Kelly,
This is an inspirational video! Great job on highlighting Janelle's story...and bringing to light her daily trials, and triumphs.
Thank you so much Kelly!! You did an awesome job and your commentary turned out great. The bit with Leif worked in very nicely as well. I'm glad you decided to work with me and I know you will be continuing to do some great work. I can tell the cuts were hard. Great job and thank you again for making a great video.
