Election night
I worked on the video coverage of the 2008 election night when Obama claimed victory with journalism school peers Heather Gjerde and Aaron Brenner. For more than six hours, the three of us lagged our equipment from party to party hoping to capture the most enthusiastic crowd in the best lighting. We took turns filming, lighting and gathering the crowd for individual interviews on this historic evening. It was one of the most exhausting and exhilarating nights of my life.
Bridging the Muslim-Jewish Divide
I covered the exhibit “Families of Abraham” when it appeared in Madison in November of 2008 for the Wisconsin Jewish Chronicle. In addition to adding a local lede to the JTA piece, I conducted a video interview with a university student and a rabbi which appeared on the Chronicle’s Web site alongside the story. See it here.
