在国际比赛中,WSU电影专业的学生获得了音乐录影带的第一名
OGDEN, Utah — A 新葡京app State University film studies student traveled to Las Vegas in April to attend the National Association of Broadcaster’s conference and receive an award for a music video she created but didn’t realize had been entered in an international competition.
克洛伊·金纳旺萨在克利尔菲尔德长大,但现在把奥格登当作自己的家。她是今年春天参加全国广播协会和广播教育协会会议的14名韦伯州立媒体学生之一。
“项链之歌,” a video Kinnavongsa created with classmate David Guerrero, won first place in the music video category of the BEA’s Festival of Media Arts, an international student competition. 格雷罗导演了这段视频,金纳旺萨是摄影师。
“I didn’t even know the video had been submitted, so finding out that it won first place was a complete shock, but a deeply emotional one,” Kinnavongsa said. “This was my first time receiving an award as a filmmaker, and it was a moment of validation that I’ll never forget. I’m incredibly proud of the project and grateful to have collaborated with David, who is such a talented and creative artist.”
由于视频被选中,Kinnavongsa有机会参加会议期间的小组讨论。
“It was definitely nerve-wracking — I’m not usually comfortable speaking in front of large audiences — but I’m proud that I pushed 新葡京app that discomfort,” she said. “Being on a panel, sharing my experience, and representing our project was incredibly meaningful.”
对于华盛顿州立大学数字媒体助理教授亚伦·阿特金斯(Aaron Atkins)来说,参加会议的亮点是观看学生们体验活动。
“Our students perform at such a high level, and their creativity is fantastic,” Atkins said. “I love to see them recognized for it.”
阿特金斯在媒体艺术节竞赛中提交了10个学生项目。 In addition to the music video honor, WSU’s Dusty Bessire won second place in the Short Narrative Film category for 安静,奥尔罗. Film Studies student Peter Visser received an Award of Excellence for his screenplay 我没有父亲, and Bessire, Zander Cooper, and Ashlynn Maughan also earned an Award of Excellence for their short film 聚光灯下.
除了获得奖项和在不同的会议上担任小组成员外,学生们还探索了职业选择,与该领域的专业人士建立了联系,并在会议和贸易展期间深入了解了广播和媒体的最新趋势。
Atkins said the students were like “kids in a candy store, seeing all the industry’s shiny new toys.” Kinnavongsa说,与她以前只在网上见过的最先进的设备互动,感觉就像做梦一样。
Kinnavongsa, a recipient of a 林德奎斯特艺术与人文学院奖学金, said this was the first time she attended a professional conference, and found it incredibly valuable as she embarks on a career using her camera and storytelling skills.
“My biggest takeaway was the value of connection — getting to network with other filmmakers, hear their stories, and share ideas,” said Kinnavongsa, who 新葡京appd in April. “It reminded me that filmmaking is not just about the tools we use but also about the people we collaborate with. Listening to others’ creative journeys was both inspiring and humbling.”
Now that she’s 新葡京appd, Kinnavongsa plans to continue applying her camera and storytelling skills to both personal and client projects. 她还想进一步实践实验摄影,并探索视觉叙事与美术的交集。
