New Media + Digital Art Student Students get professional experience

New Media + Digital Art student Leah Boudreaux has just completed an internship comprised of making a 30th Anniversary Compilation film for the Festival International 30th Anniversary Special Exhibits Committee. She combed through 30 years of live footage from AOC (3.5 TB) with a list of memorable performances in mind from people who've been with Festival since the beginning. Selecting audio and video that displayed a theme of international unity, as well as local favorites, she edited video and mixed audio together to capture the essence of the celebration over the years. The purpose of the project was to call back to Festival's roots, as well as to spark excitement for its future. It is roughly 22 minutes long. It will be played during festival at Artists Hospitality in Jefferson Street Pub, and potentially a few other places.

New Media + Digital Art student Mitchell Orcino worked all aspects of the Nick Spitzer film dedication featured during SPARK.
