I spent the last three days watching over 60 presentations
of amazing Independent Personal Projects.
A year's worth of blood, sweat and tears went into
the projects that included videos, books, EPs, flash mobs…. (the list goes on). It was
great to see the final products, but what I enjoyed most was hearing about the
evolution of the projects.
Remembering to roll with the punches and navigating unexpected
roadblocks (like a collapsed lung) is going to come in handy when it’s our turn
to complete our IPPs. The presentations succeeded in instilling an equal part of fear
and inspiration in me (I’m hoping the fear will fuel the inspiration).
During this “March Madness” it was nice to have some
perspective on how far we’ll come in such a short period of time because in exactly
one year it’ll be us at the podium... and I can’t wait.
I’ve finally settled on an IPP that will require me to beef up my
video skills (and by “beef up my skills” I mean develop any at all). But you
know what? I’m excited. Many of the students who chose a video IPP last year admitted they had no idea
what they were doing when they started, and their projects turned out just fine. More
than fine. Incredible. So fingers crossed the same happens for me.
Congratulations to all of the second-year CreComm students
on a job well done!
