Interview With A Rugby Player

Welcome back to another exciting post on the Chris Wagner Blog. This post is once again thanks to my TV production class which never ceases to provide me with bloggable content. For this assignment, we had to shoot an interview on a topic of our choice along with b-roll to go with it. What I am about to show you is some of the footage that didn't quite make it into the final product. Once again, the video quality is poor (apparently I'm not very good with the cameras we have to use), but it's an entertaining video nonetheless. I hope you enjoy it and stop back soon for the finished interview which will likely be much less exciting.

A Snapshot of St. Cloud

I know what you're thinking, "Two posts in one week!? How could I get so lucky!?" Yes, I know, you are incredibly lucky. I was going to wait and post this in a week or so but I got bored and decided to post it now.

This semester I am taking a television production class as an elective and it tuned out to be pretty fun. The first project is a "music video" which basically means that we had to shoot video set to music. I chose to use the song "I Am Lincoln" by Steve Jablonsky from the movie The Island and I shot video from around the city of St. Cloud.

A few disclaimers before you watch: This was my first time using the cameras that we used as well as my first time really using the editing program Final Cut Pro. As such, the video is not perfect. A lot of my footage turned out to be much brighter than I thought it would be as I shot it. However, even though some of the shots are too bright, I still like the idea of what I shot (plus it is set to an epic song, so that helps). Anyway, I hope you enjoy it and while you're at it, check out my other Youtube videos.

Me Memes

Well it's been nearly a month since my last post, which means it's been about a month since anything blog-worthy has happened in my life. But, due to a weekend of fun and adventure in the Twin Cities, that has changed.

It seems whenever my friends and I have an adventure in Minneapolis, we follow the same traditions. These traditions are looking damn good when we go out on the town, and spending one day miserably hungover at the Mall of America. These two traditions also tend to generate some interesting pictures.
