Why did you apply to be a Skylights Sideline Shooter? I applied to be a Skylights Sideline Shooter because I love video production. Filming and editing allow me to express my creative and artistic side and show people my passion for video. When I heard about the opportunity to work for WPXI I immediately decided that this job would be perfect for me.
What do you do in your spare time? I do a lot of extra-curricular activities in school. I am President of FBLA, Senior Class Vice President, and a member of the Varsity Swim team. I am also a member of clubs such as Student Council, Interact, DECA, and National Honor Society. When I am not doing school activities I enjoy volunteering and doing community service work. I also currently have two jobs which I enjoy very much.
What do you plan to do after high school? I plan to attend a 4 year college to study either business or medicine.
Teen cyclist hit by bus had big dreams
Austin Miller's family gathered around a computer to watch one of the early works of the budding 15 year old filmmaker. "He wrote it, shot it, directed it, did all the editing," said his mother, Stephanie Miller. "He was unbelievably creative." But the family watched the short film with damp eyes. Austin Miller was killed Monday afternoon as he rode his bike home from school at the Arts and Communication Magnet Academy. The teen was hit by a TriMet bus that was pulling into a stop at on Farmington just west of Murray. .
A Fondness for Quirky Teenagers
Charlie Bartlett is the movie no studio wanted to make. Impressed by his second unit directing work on Meet the Fockers, executives at Universal encouraged longtime editor Jon Poll – whose editing credits include Meet the Parents and the last two Austin Powers movies – to bring them a movie that he could direct. When he did, it was for a teen comedy in which the titular character sets himself up as the unofficial school therapist, who listens to his fellow students problems and doles out scammed prescription drugs. Universal passed. So did every studio in Hollywood. "No one would make this film," Poll tells FilmStew during a recent interview in San Francisco. “It's an R-rated movie where kids are giving each other drugs." To Poll, that was an overly simplistic read of a dark comedy that he nevertheless considers heartwarming and optimistic.

The market will be flooded.The Associated Press effused that he "dazzled" Olympia.You bet. Foghorn Leghorn rides tall in the saddle again, and I need my glacier goggles.Sad to say, he's been in the shadows for the past 3 years, and Oly has forgotten who he is. Now the governor is stealing his thunder on literally every issue, and all he can do is choke on the chicken bone stuck in his throat.Better go back to red meat, dinosaur. It's what's for dinner - especially for the normally-vegan dems in November. Even with a weak, clumsy governor, they'll eat you alive this time. .

Arroyo critics welcome Melo's appointment
Critics of President Arroyo on Saturday welcomed the appointment of retired Supreme Court associate justice Jose Melo as the new chairman of the Commission on Elections (COMELEC). Sen. Manuel Roxas II said he is confident that Melo "will uphold the same courage and professionalism when he issued the report on extrajudicial killings." In 2006, Melo headed a fact-finding body created by President Arroyo known as the Melo Commission to investigate the cases of extrajudicial and political killings in the country. Roxas noted that Melo's appointment was the result of "fruitful conversations" between the Arroyo administration and civil society groups. He said he believes that Melo will implement reforms in the controversy-ridden COMELEC as well as play a key role in preparing for peaceful, honest and clean elections in 2010.
MOTU previews upcoming Digital Performer 6 release
In the resulting comp take, crossfades can be applied, along with all standard operations for editing audio regions in a DP track. Users can then use the resulting comp track as yet another take itself, which allows users to “comp the comp" by incorporating any portion of an existing comp take into a new comp take. Additional features include ProVerb, a processor-efficient convolution reverb plug-in that delivers the acoustic spatial sounds to any track or mix. A Dynamic Mix feature automatically “ducks" the wet signal as the dry input signal rises, then raises the wet mix as the dry signal level subsides. MasterWorks Leveler is an accurate model of the legendary Teletronix LA-2A optical leveling amplifier, known for its Automatic Gain Control (AGC) characteristics. The Digital Performer engineering team works closely with Apple engineering on a on-going basis to continue improving Digital Performer on the Mac as an advanced platform for music and audio production.
