Eric Lam Hunter College
There were many projects that were very entertaining. My favorites were “The Battle of the Brews,” “CUNY Timeline,” “Transportation Around Macaulay,” “Julliard,” and “Fresh Experience.”
“The Battle of the Brews” did a good job of exploring the connotations associated with coffee in New York City. It made good use of several interviews with people across New York City. The editing was excellent and I learned a couple of new things from the project’s use of iMovie.
The use of Dipity in “CUNY Timeline” was very refreshing. The interface was simple, easy to explore, and entertaining. I was able to get a very good sense of the history of the different colleges associated with CUNY, and I enjoyed looking through all the maps and pictures in this project.
I also enjoyed “Transportation Around Macaulay” because it was extremely relevant to all of our peers. Even as a native New Yorker, I learned some new things about how to get around in Manhattan. The video really captured the essence of what it was like to travel around on the subway in the city.
I have heard about Julliard numerous times, but the video about it really gave me a sense of what it’s all about. The video was well made and it transitioned easily from one section to the next. It was fitting that a video about an excellent music school did a wonderful job in sound editing.
“Fresh Experience” did a wonderful job with editing. The products were presented effectively and in an interesting manner. I especially liked the music that went along with the video.
