I have but one adjective to describe this first class: edutaining.
It was a great overview of video production; we got a briefing of the different jobs that one can hold in video production (and even chose our jobs without really knowing what they entail). I was really pleased to hear of all of the opportunities that this class can produce for us, as I'm really interested in digital media production. I work in audio editing now, but who knows? Maybe I'll like video editing better.
Picking our groups was sort of a free-for-all. Students who had been producers for all of three minutes interviewed us, the prospective editors, writers, and cameramen/women. It was like speed dating. I don't think anyone really got a feel for who will be effective workers at all, but it was an interesting interview exercise. I happen to be on the "Family" team.
Doc Chris... I wonder just how much coffee this man drinks daily. Or hourly. I've heard tall tales, but I hadn't really expected this level of excitement. His energy wasn't nearly overbearing as it was engaging, which is something a lot of college professors lack. I'm looking forward to seeing what class will be like once we delve into the course material.
