Addicus’ History of Media

WK2 Project: Storyboard

Before I started the MCBS Program I had a varied media experience through hobbies and professional luck.

I got interested in the field early; luckily my Junior High school had a limited TV Film Production class.

I had always thought I wanted to continue with the media field and got involved in the TV/Film program in my high school.

The three years I spent in the much more advanced classes really fostered my love of creating media entertainment.

But then I graduated and had to get a job.

I spent several years in the US Army but kept my love of media alive through hobbies and side projects.

I got involved in theater and learned the arts of lighting and sound.

Eventually I joined the US Navy and switched my professional field to Communications.

Because of that I was lucky enough to get selected to work on TV distribution equipment and eventually broadcasting.

Because of that I got to work side by side with the Journalists and Mass Communications Sailors producing multimedia presentations a wide range of topics from trainings to safety briefs.

Because of that my infatuation with all things Media has revived and strengthened.

I was at a loss for some time as to which field I wanted to specialize in.

Until finally a friend in the Navy was telling me about his application Full Sail University, he knew of my interest in media arts and suggested I look into it the school myself.

And ever since I decided to pursue my passion for media I have been excited to explore new media applications and ways to use them.

I am happy to have found the Media Communications degree because it gives me the opportunity to cross the media fields and really dabble in all the areas I enjoy.
