Carolina Week Testimonial: I remember sitting in a room during my internship with MTV News the summer of '06 and thinking...'i already know all this.' True story: as about 20 media professionals were sitting through a tutorial on the basics of setting up a shot, getting the camera ready, and working the microphone, i was sitting in the back of the room, wondering how it is that I was a step ahead of all of these producers and PAs in putting together packages to be aired on MTV. The answer? Carolina Week. This class and program prepared me for every aspect of television broadcasting: from writing, shooting and editing, to working on my own versus working with a crew, to staying calm in the midst of a crazed live show...and more. I came into the program with a knowledge of a few parts of the business, but came out with a more fully-formed grasp of the craft than I even knew at the time. Dr. T and Co. sure will work you, but the end product make it all worth the while. If you want to stay a step ahead of the rest, Carolina Week is the way to go. Trust me.
