Media is a team effort at the NSC, but as the designated blogger, I’m kind of the only one you see. Against human nature, I’m going to share the spotlight and introduce you to Eric, the video intern.
Eric Swanson comes to us from the University of North Dakota, where he will be a senior in the fall. He is majoring in broadcast communication and worked on his university’s TV show, Studio One, for a year. He was a sports reporter, technical director and audio operator for the weekly cable news show, and I have to say it’s pretty classy. Trust me; I watched his episode covering RC Car Races.

In addition to “lots of sports reporting,” Eric has done smaller, documentary-type projects under his own initiative. That will come in handy because Eric is the lead producer on a fun project we came up with to celebrate the SCHWAN’S USA CUP 25th Anniversary: a video history series! It will have several short segments covering themes such as the original idea behind the tournament, memorable moments and technology at the tournament.
Eric wants to use the project to capture personal stories from many integral volunteers and staffers, and he hopes it will show “interesting little things that people don’t realize when they come here.” The videos will be comprised mainly of interviews, or as Eric said, “I get to talk to all the head honchos.”
There is no release date for the videos yet, but watch for more details in July. In the meantime, view back episodes of Studio One, and catch up on NSCtv, which Eric currently helps produce. His summary of the work: “I get paid to sit and edit video. I love that stuff.”
