I didn't wanna just copy the format of Sim's blog so I thought I would list the OBSCURE things I learned while in my major and in other various places of college.
(media related so non-geeks turn back)
- Calling a NFL football player's name while holding a live ESPN camera will get him to look at you, as well as the director's screaming approval when he says to the camera: " I love you mom!"
- Peter Frampton is a douche.
- Weird Al is a really cool person.
- Incarcerated inmates love when you come to maximum security prison and make a video of their promotional skit on why killing people is bad...
- When someone at a local news affiliate laughs at an aspiring freshman who wants to volunteer and just learn to better themselves sucks. But its WAY better when you encounter them 4 more times through out college and they offer you a job 4 times...and you turn him down!
- Hiding in the Editing lab after hours ensures that you can finish your edit at 4am!!
- 70 year old 6000 lb Asian elephants that used to be in the movies still love the camera!
-Carrying a video camera at a Zoo / Theme park ensures your invitation to play with the baby tiger.
- You will have to punch 13 year old girls in the face to make then not kill you to get to the Jonas Brothers.
- When you meet the Arch Bishop of the Catholic Church think of a better question.
- Bill Muntz can solve any problem.
- Do NOT piss off Walt.
- ESPN will hire VSU students to drive to UGA to work the Football games instead of UGA students.
- You can Frame anyone with Photoshop.
-People who want and are willing to pay for " Student Work"...should DIE.
-Just because I am the smartest person in the Family in Media / Video Production does NOT mean I can fix your cable...
-If it's digital...it can be mine...
-If you literally bump into Jeff Foxworthy...you will wreck your car 1 hour later. ( true story )
-Sideways rain will make $40,000 Christie LX120 projector lamps EXPLOAD.. I told them it was a bad idea, but now they know.
- Having a camera and working at a theme park gets your friends literally unlimited rides for " b-roll".
- Steady cams make your back sore.
- saving your classmate's ass in college pays off well in the real world..
