Mai Day! Drone!


As part of the requirements for my Digital Video Production Certification, I spent my summer internship at Mai Day Productions. I worked daily in the studio and in the field for owner, Patrick DJamoos. Patricks. If I learned one thing from Patrick, it’s that he is passionate about college and high school school sporting events. Mai Day Productions shoots game footage for much of central New Jersey.  Patrick enjoys working with his professional drone camera where photos and video can be taken live and up close when the lens is in focus for long range. Patrick attended Immaculata High School, and his team spirit is clear to see in his film and video capture. On the lacrosse field, Patrick can align the drone above the goal where it will catch each player’s move and yet remain unnoticed. His shots are often of a vantage point that other photographers cannot shoot because he is the assigned photographer with clearance for drone footage. Following the games, Patrick submits his work for publication, where schools and universities publish his photos along with game history. Although I learned a lot, I mainly enjoyed observing Patrick in action.

Video Games Cause Violence

Image
Not Child’s Play Teen and young adult video gaming is becoming more popular as high-tech has streamlined so that interactive games can appear on all screen devices. Since gaming is available 24 hours a day, high exposure can lead to obsessive playing and engagement. The growing controversial claim that violence is learned leaves us needing to know where this brutality is being taught or observed so that we can re-teach gaming enthusiasts, to reduce their escalated thoughts, which can lead to barbaric actions. Teens and young adults are more likely to act out in violence when obsessively playing video games that are violent in nature. One reason for the obsessive behaviors in gaming is that the player is in search of shock value; once the initial shock of violence is accepted, the gamer generally looks for games that out-do the previous violence they have become desensitized to by compulsively playing. The term “violence” has become muted and no longer carries much weight. Teens n...

Montessori Blog

The Whole Child The working relationship between Anita Albers and Nina Marvi of the Albrook Montessori School in Bernards Township, New Jersey, can easily be compared to the strong working history that developed between Maria Montessori and Lakshmi Kripalani in 1946. Maria Montessori founded her style of teaching out of necessity. She supported a new approach to teaching that would keep children in an educational environment that was clean and organized and would encourage the children to learn independently. Montessori traveled to India where she taught her techniques to Kripalani, who opened her own Montessori learning center in India in 1947. She soon moved to the United States and began a Montessori movement in New Jersey. When New Jersey resident, Anita Albers, met and trained under Maria Montessori, she founded the Albrook Montessori School in Bernards Township, New Jersey. Albers has since trained talented directors and staff, including Nina Marvi, who is the current direct...
