Hey Sequence 64ers!
My name is Jeremy Anderson and I’m an aspiring multi-cam director from Sequence 63. I have advice to offer but I won’t get to that in this post. Just wanted to introduce myself and let you know my take on the past year at Newhouse.
I’m originally from Jackson, Mississippi. Far from the grueling winter that you are soon to endure. Got my bachelor’s in TRF at U of Southern Miss. Worked at a local news station and a PBS affiliate for a little while. Then I decided that I wanted to expand my reach in this industry. Thats where Newhouse came in. I am currently in NYC finishing up an internship with Space Station Media as a Production Assistant.
After I was accepted to Newhouse I was offered an I.A. position for COM 117. I quickly learned that I would have to teach 2 labs a week O_o. I’d never taught a class or even wanted to. It was fun though. It took up a lot of my time. Especially when you are taking multiple production and editing classes as well as directing a show for OTN. Most of my classmates thought I was crazy and that I was trying to do too much…and I probably was. But I got through it and I’m glad I did. I felt like I was taking advantage of everything this program had to offer. It feels great when you surprise yourself with what you are capable of. That’s really the only advice I can give you (though I will try to give more).
None of Sequence 63ers have it all figured out. We were just where you were a year ago and we are only beginning our journey. Our only hope is that you learn from the mistakes that we made and take full advantage of the year of opportunities that you have been blessed with.
So, have fun this year and if you need any help or advice or even someone to listen to your problems…don’t call me! lol No j/k we all want to be there for you guys. In all honesty we are probably jealous that you guys get to have so much fun. But anyway, don’t be afraid contact anyone of us.
Good luck,
Jeremy
