So I have been working on my independant study senior project since the Fall of '06 and I am just about ready to launch the first webisode. There is alot that goes into planning a documentary. But it hasn't all been hard work. Sometimes it is alot of fun. I am doing this project to experiment with different types of technologies and how you can use them together. Technology and Broadcasting has always interested me and so this is a good way to explore those things. The subject of my project is my friend Gordy Debroka. He is an aspiring DJ who lives in the same town that I do. I am basically filming parts of his life and then putting his story online. Okay... well, I am going to be posting the first episode soon so I will talk to you later.
