For more than a decade, students from St. Petersburg College<\/a>\u2019s Advanced Videography class have had the opportunity to network, pad their portfolios and gain some real-world experience, thanks to the college\u2019s partnership with WEDU Public Media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to videography professor John Muehl, the students, who work in teams of three or four, pitch and put together six-minute segments for WEDU\u2019s Arts Plus program. Not every group makes it in, but Muehl said the majority of SPC students have done so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOver the past five years, 85 percent of our students\u2019 stories have aired, and half of those have gone national,\u201d he said. \u201cTampa Bay is the 13th<\/sup> largest market in the US, with a potential audience of millions of people. Having something that they worked on actually air is a huge boon to their portfolios.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the guidance of their professor and WEDU Producer Farah Vickery, students apply everything they\u2019ve learned, including pitching ideas, preproduction, storyboarding, writing scripts and scheduling shoots. They then move into production, where they shoot interviews and footage, then enter the post-production editing process. When it\u2019s all wrapped up, the story package goes to WEDU for feedback. WEDU Senior Vice President Jack Conely said the SPC submissions often get used outside of the Tampa Bay market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne of the perks of this collaboration is that our local segments are contributed to a common pot, and some of the stations that are in big media markets – we\u2019re talking about Chicago and New York \u2013 pick them up,\u201d Conely said. \u201cTo be able to walk away with a degree and an experience like having a segment seen nationally, that\u2019s something else.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"SPC<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Not only do they get seen, but one group even won a Suncoast Regional Emmy Award for a piece they did on Pinellas County\u2019s Sanitation department. Others have been hired as freelancers by WEDU. Isaac Locke recently participated in the project and said he could see a career coming out of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt pushed me to do my best, and I know that it\u2019s going to roll the ball forward in many ways,\u201d Locke said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
