Come be a field reporter for a week and learn to use a camera and edit your piece, just like it would go on the nightly news. See a project from start to finish when you generate ideas for a video project, learn how to operate both a studio camera and field camera, tape the video, and put the project together on the professional AVID video editing system. Get a TV studio tour and see all the work that goes on behind the scenes that you don't see on the news. Operate other pieces of studio equipment besides the cameras and get a feel for the field of broadcast production. The equipment you'll be using is broadcast-quality and you will get a DVD copy of your project to show off at the end.

About Me: My name is Yevgeniya Solodovnikova. Yes, it’s a pretty long name. I speak three languages: Russian, Ukrainian, and English. I was born in Tbilisi, Georgia. When I was 16 years old my family and I moved to Kharkov, Ukraine. In Kharkov, I graduated from the University and started working for a News company as a video editor. I’ve been enjoying editing since then. Five years ago I came to Pullman with my husband who’s working on his PhD in Material Science. In August 2008 I graduated from WSU with an MA in Communication. I am very passionate about what I do and would love to share my passion and knowledge with you. I love sports, music, traveling, and meeting new people. I am very excited to meet you all in the summer!
