Sherry Ludington
As a senior in the College Scholars program, I took full advantage of the internships and opportunities available to me this past summer. My efforts to become a documentary filmmaker have led me to two conclusions: first I need to be a good storyteller, second, I need to know how to do it all: filming, editing, lighting, audio, etc. I accepted an internship with UT in the communications marketing department creating videos to “tell the stories” of students while promoting the various clubs and organizations they participated in. I also had the opportunity to help host a group of journalist students and their professors from Serbia…I am working on a documentary of their trip and will be traveling to their country in December. Additionally, I worked with the university’s TVC commercial production unit along with Clinton Elmore filming plays and creating training videos. What many do not realize is the vast amount of professional video equipment acquired by the university over the past two years is astounding. As a result, I now feel confident about my skills and abilities to create content in the film industry as I arrive to the finish line of my College Scholars journey.
