Semester Projects!

Oct 182011
 

We’ve got some exciting new projects this semester that members are more than welcome to help out with.

First off, Terry has written the first three episodes of a Korean drama and will be filming those three episodes this semester.  If you want to help out with anything (PA, audio, editing, etc) , send him an e-mail at lanceclancy [at] gmail.com .  He’s holding auditions this Wednesday at 4pm  in Doherty hall, so if you fit the profile of speaking both Korean and English, show up to the audition!

Next thing is a Booth Documentary that I, myself, am heading.  For those of you who don’t know, every year CMU has a Spring Carnival, but it’s no ordinary carnival. Greek, cultural, and other social organizations come together to compete on who can envision and execute the best booth based around the carnival theme.  Typically these organizations work year-round to build booths that are two stories tall.  The documentary will follow 3+ organizations on their booth building process.  If you’re interested in helping to film or edit, you can post a comment here or email me avliu@andrew .

If you have any other projects you’d like to pitch, come out to the meeting this Thursday 9pm at the cmuTV studio as always!
