Hi Everyone, I’d like to state my intention to run for Vice President of the Webster SIGGRAPH organization. I’ve been an active member of the group since it’s inception, and I want to do my part to keep it going in the positive direction it has been. I think we’ve only scratched the surface on what we can do as far as bringing in speakers, demonstrations, and activities. I also want to focus on getting more people involved. There are students out there that need to know about us, we need to find them.
I feel I’m qualified for this position for a number of reasons. I am already involved with the inner workings of the club as well as Kinematifest; from contacting sponsors to attending decision making meetings. Next year I hope to help take Kinematifest to the next level. I recently presented with Joel on a discussion panel during the AES summit. I would like to plan similar activities for next years festival, and give it a “summit” feel, where students and professionals can freely exchange ideas.
I also feel I’m qualified because of my diverse media background. I currently work for a company called Service My Way, where I do everything from web and print design to creating marketing plans, and running booths at trade shows. I also do work for iClips from time to time, doing various design work. In the past I ran my own business, doing printing and computer repair. During that time I also freelanced, doing 3D modeling and animation as an independent contractor. Aside from my work, I’m a video game collector/historian. I used to run the Video Game Design Club, and currently I’m working on a zombie game with some other webster students.
I bring all this up becaue I feel that if elected, I will fairly represent all facets of interactive media. Our industry is incredibly diverse, and it’s important that our SIGGRAPH chapter represents that.
