First Year--Russell Vea
His portfolio is original and unique. A great editor for videos and has a great imagination. He tries to exceed whatever we do in class such as learning Final Cut and other computer programs. He has put his work on the computer, Vaio, and class work before anything else. Does great videos, web pages, and many more. Examples: uses effects on things as needed not just so it looks nice. Of all the work I have seen him do that deals with video and technology I haven't seen one that I don't enjoy. He is the person who I think represents this portion of the awards (media). He also understands and is a "tech" person. He uses technology in many ways that I don't know of (Final Cut) and does a great job in producing videos with it. He is very skilled in the media field and is strong in web page building. He can do very good videos and web pages. He's very skilled with a computer and can create exemplary work. His products are so good and high tech. It is so cool.
