What is a Light Reflector? 

There are many different versions of the light reflector. Let's just say we used the big one for this

particular project. Light reflectors do just they are called. The reflect the natural light of the sun onto an object or person. The reflection of the light from the sun has now been transferred to the object or person.

            

Pedestrian Bridge 2017

South Carolina State University's new bridge is nearing completion!

The bridge will be a great aid to those who stay in the University Village area.

This short voice over shows a few clips of what is actually taking place

during construction. The bridge will stretch over Chestnut street. 

So while you're in Orangeburg, head over to the back gate of the campus 

on Chestnut street to check out the construction for yourself!

Sequence of Sequences

 This week we worked on sequence videos. 

The whole point of this project was to create a sequence of clips of one student, 

doing multiple tasks and combining them into one short video. The purpose is to catch the sequence of actions from different camera positions and angles.

Word on the Street - 2016 Election

Who Am I?

Greetings  I am Jalen Ryant, born and raised in Charlotte North Carolina. I am a musician at heart. I've been playing the drums since the age of 3 and I absolutely love it. Other than the fact that I am a 20 year old Junior at South Carolina State University and a member of the marching 101, I am an overall down to earth person who's easy to get to know. I aspire to become a professional drummer, author and innovator. Most musicians only bring their physical skills to the table. God has given me the gift of wisdom and my duty as a musician is to inspire younger musicians with knowledge of becoming better not just skillfully, but better as an overall person both morally and spiritually. During the spring of 2015, I asked God to give me a brand or symbol that I could use to help establish my vision for advancing the Kingdom of God through music and penmanship. So in the Summer of 2015, God gave me the acronym of C.H.O.P.S. This stands for Character, Humility, Optimism, Perseverance, and ultimately Salvation. As soon as I got it, I ran with it. On the midnight of Christmas day 2015, God gave me yet another vision to become an author, using C.H.O.P.S. as a start for my writing career.
