 Five o'clock rock think tech on a given Thursday here. We are and Thursday at five o'clock. What do we do? What's the answer? We do think tech tutorial today. We have a diamond cabildo and she's in team one and Emily Curse she's in team two our summer interns and we have my co-host Carol Mon Lee who's in what team are you in Carol? I am like you No team no team Welcome to the show young ladies So what we're gonna do today, we're gonna talk about tutorial team one meets team two a joyful Occasion so good that you're trading off between team one and team two And so the first thing is to get an idea to explain to people what exactly we have going here On our think tech intern program Carol. What's in the syllabus? Okay, well first let me explain that this is think tech Hawaii's first summer internship program And we're so proud to have as you said we have had one month of team one with diamond and Haley Who is at Kalaheo High School? And now we have team two for the month of July, which is Emily and also with diamond Participating from the priory from the priory. Yes, I Emily is going to be a junior at the priory Is that right? Yes. That's great. Well, welcome So we have it divided up into four week sessions and each week we cover different areas of Media video production right and you know since our friend diamond here has already gone through it I'm gonna have her maybe give us a few minutes about what you learned and What we expect that Emily will also learn sure um well at think tech it was a lot of Communication really between hosts and guests and That's like the bulk of what me and Haley did We you know, we greet guests make them comfortable Get their information and set them up on the table and get them ready for them to to have a good show and to talk and So that was the the most like the bulk of what we did. We also worked with the cameras Haley and I Did our whole OC 16 show thing and that took us a good two weeks to to do that project So what exactly was involved in doing an OC 16 show? Well the OC 16 show was a lot of Running around and trying to get people to appear on the show as the interviewees We it was a lot of networking and I'm getting in contact and Planning dates and going out to do these interviews and film them So you actually developed a theme for a show. You did research. You found people to interview You filmed it and then it was editing. Yeah. Yeah edited it starred in it Yeah, to some extent It was a lot of work and a lot of sleepless nights But I'm proud with what the what work we came out with and so that is now available on OC 16 Yes OC 16 through the topic was transgender youths in Hawaii and Yeah, yeah, great And let's gonna we're gonna shift this to Emily a little bit So Emily welcome. Hi Nice to have you But tell us a little bit about your interest in media and video production Well, when I was Little I liked making a lot of movies. They're really stupid and not serious. They weren't well made But did you use what kind of a was my movie that came with my computer that was required for school very Low-key and not very professional, but it was fun and I enjoyed doing it And then I also took a lot of video classes. So when I was Probably in fourth grade. I took this summer school course. That was like for fun And it was about claymation. So we were claymation claymation. We would make your own props like this own little set and Then we would take a picture and then make a movie and then edit it It was I mean, they were really poor in Quality, but they were really fun to make and took a lot of time and I just I was constantly making movies whenever I went on trips I was always filming and Then I actually got the opportunity when also in the eighth grade to actually participate in my first Big project that was serious and I used More advanced programs. So I use Adobe Premiere Pro and that actually was for Program called HIKI NŌ. That's on PBS. Yes, and it's a statewide Student network where schools from across the state can make stories anything they want and they're about two and a half Minutes in length and they combine them into a half-hour show So I got this opportunity over the summer from my friend who asked me to do it with her and we did a story about this exchange student and At the priory. Yeah, we didn't actually know too much about her We just thought let's do a story on her and it we found out through the process of you know, story making and Interviewing that her mom had actually died and that was why she came to the priory. So to start over and We actually that was only supposed to last the summer There's something to do but it ended up Lasting the entire year and it took a lot of work and it was only two minutes and thirty seconds long Yeah So you have a plan for doing a movie during your internship Yes, I know C16. Yes, exactly. Yeah, what are you thinking? Well, I was given the idea from Marianne to do Marianne Sasaki Yeah, I'm one of our hosts, right? Yeah who helped who helped diamond diamond. Yeah, she she wanted me to do Was it gun control? She's very excited about yeah, she's done some commentaries about gun control. Yeah, but then I also thought when I was at home It at the priory. There's this huge tradition when you're in junior year so I'm gonna be a junior next year and it's called ascension day and there's a coral cross in the courtyard and every year on ascension day they all decorate it with flowers and I've been at the priory since sixth grade. So we always saw it every year and it was kind of something you look forward to when you became a junior and it celebrates the anniversary of the school as well and From the outside it looks very simple But it takes the entire year of planning because it's it's crazy And it's very stressful and you spend the whole night with your class doing it So I thought maybe because my class is actually celebrating the hundred we're making the hundred fiftieth cross So it's our school celebrating 150 years So I thought maybe do a story on that like the process because a lot of people don't see it They just see the finished product So and it is a great hundred years pictures them from prior years because you won't have the finished product yet And then also when I was doing HIKI NŌ our original plan was to do a Story on the school like the history. So I know that from looking through files. We have b-roll footage Align that be helpful I would interview so we have this amazing lady named is Donathan. She's the art director but she is also the class advisor for the junior class and she is a Wizard at this thing. She knows everything about it had a planet and she's incredible She's the reason that it comes together. I would interview her and then also the director of the upper school Miss grems because she knows a lot about it and maybe past alumni sure maybe somebody from the senior class Right who just did it last year Yep, I would do that. That was an idea Yeah, oh well, okay, and how you gonna execute the idea now, you know Diamond had an advantage. She had Haley and diamond working together What are you going to? well, I would probably ask our tech department because they have access to all the footage and Also, I would I would probably conduct interviews not actually filming them but with Miss grems and Miss Donathan and see their thoughts what they think is important I know a chunk of it just from going to the priory since sixth grade, but there's so much more So I would probably conduct interviews figure out what's important to include in it gathers and b-roll maybe look through some old yearbooks from past crosses and Then conduct those interviews Make a storyboard before actually yeah, and then so, you know, we have you have two more weeks left in your internship So we're gonna have to start have to close the show a little early I'll take a lot of work, but Good that's an idea. You're gonna do the editing. Yep, and on what editor are you gonna use? I'm familiar with Premiere Pro, but if there's another editing Program that would be better. I'm open to using that We don't know of any that would be better. Yeah, so I plan on using Premiere Pro. Yeah, good Okay. Wow. All right. So we have to you know, we have to collaborate on exactly how you do the voice over Yeah, and make it right for OC-16 fit within appropriate time limits and all that And I know I know that if you call Diamond up about this and ask her for consultation She'll answer your questions. No, absolutely Like I would go and like help you film things or record the interviews Yeah, totally Yeah I'm gonna have to be done fairly soon, right? Yeah next week or two Okay. Yeah Yeah, don't underestimate the time it takes to do the editing. Yeah, we did that So among the different tasks that involved you have a particular interest in whether it's editing or production or writing or Filming when I first came here. I thought editing was what I wanted to focus on But then there's so much more to it like producing that I didn't really know about And the filming but I still think editing is what I'd like to focus on But then just now I was in the control room with Zuri Watching her do her thing and that's That's crazy multitasking It's just kind of Zuri I think I think it's up to you to respond to that Zuri it looks so hard I can tell that you're having a lot of fun back here and you know, you're so creative and you have so many ideas I'm sure you would have just as much fun You know, it's pretty hectic, but hey, you got to do what you got to do in live television. Yeah Do you have a tricaster at the priory? Nope. I didn't even know producing was a thing really yeah I did not know what a tricaster was I came in here for the interview and saw that room bunch of buttons with lights Monitors. Oh, that looks kind of cool. I don't know what that is What kind of resources do you have at the priory? You said you took some courses Well that when I was in fourth grade that claymation one, right? That was a summer school That was summer school. So it was actually by a separate teacher who came was hired So he had his own equipment, but at the school they have Big cameras, but then they also have the editing software, but they don't have a tricaster. Do you have a studio there at the priory? we do have a tech department and It does have a green screen kind of like this, but it's they moved and I don't think we have a studio, but if there were there was one it'd be there. Do you have a coursework? In high school either classes that you can take You can do internships with them or independent research that specializes in video production But there's not really like a main course Okay, well, I'm gonna take a break now. Okay, everybody agrees if you agree raise your hand.

Hope you join all right? Okay, we're back. We've had our minute of respite now. We're going back to a tweet which says Aloha gang Just want to know did your internships exceed your expectations? Please? Elaborate time and you go first. Oh Absolutely Like when I came into this I had no idea what to expect I mean they gave us a syllabus they gave us a list of things that we may or may not cover But coming into this and working at the studio It's it's been an honor like learning so much from not just the people who work here who are super cool, by the way but also from all the people that come into the studio the hosts and guests and and like stray stray people that But it's just it's been an incredible learning experience. Yeah, thank you. Thank you diamond. You've been great So Emily you've had two weeks of this You answer the same question. Okay. Well, I've read the syllabus. Actually, I got this email from my college counselor That's how I found out about it and I thought this looks cool. This is not my alley I'll try it and then I come in for the interview and Just seeing the studio It's crazy all the lights and the the green screen. It's very bright and I thought this is pretty high-tech So I did have some high expectations, but then once actually working and getting some experience. I think that I Didn't realize that a lot of it would be Communication and working with people. Yeah, I thought we'd be behind the computers and that was a good thing because of course, I expected all the work with the cameras and Twitter and all the programs but learning how to deal with people and get them to move to the schedule that there's this Website goes to that's a really good skill to have. Yeah, it's all about relationships Yeah, so I you know, I never forget when Carol started talking to interns about, you know What's supposed to happen here? So she got you gotta shake hands Approach them and you know, she's stuck in her hand like that Okay, and everybody it's kind of become a trademark now the interns come dancing out into the salon area You're doing that too, aren't you? Working on it. It's still a skill. I have to like get down but trying and you can apply it I know Diamond says this in her Journals that it's something that you apply in every part of your life now, right? You're comfortable about doing that a lot more confident about it. Definitely, right and see how important it is They walk up to people on the street and say hi Welcome to think tech studio Emily you've been here now almost two weeks and then you've had five shows times whatever seven that's 35 40 shows that you've actually Sat in worked on or observed so among all those shows were there any that particularly you found impressive the host and the guests or the topics? well, I definitely remember This one guest named Solomon, you know, yeah hard to forget hard to forget and His personality I've never met someone like that before and it Usually you have people on here that are really serious and they they're the top of their professions and they're like Straight for business, but this guy was just so different change of pace And I just remember him and he's so deep and philosophical and positive So he stood out for me and then also they had that I forget her name, but it was on Donna's show center stage they had This lady from that bad that metal band bone Canyon. I thought she was really cool Venus. Yeah, Venus really cool just cuz For a period of my life. I really liked metal I just hearing her talk about bands was like really cool and then also um the I Think that okay. Let's just leave that there. I think in general yes that there's a lot of people who are just so smart and insightful and Really have good communication skills. They present themselves. Well, and there's just so much to learn from them. So as a whole this isn't specifically one person, but You learn a lot not only from filming and from this internship you learn like about current events in the island on the island and the world You know what think-takes mission is? I can't I don't I didn't memorize it, but I do know it's about yes So we want to promote what we call promote civic engagement raise public awareness and promote civic engagement in our community and the way we do that is through the our programming right so we have Five to six shows a day on different topics with different speakers and different hosts so that we can Present all these different issues international local issues Speakers hosts who can present a wide variety range of Important topics to our community Yeah, so if if a host called you or a guest called you and said, you know What is it like? What's your advice to me to do a good show and what are the mistakes? I could make you know in doing a show how with the footfalls Let's have you go first diamond sure um I suppose in terms of improving a show it's definitely The show is more about the content So I would definitely have hosts make sure that they know their guests very well that they've met before Coming to the studio perhaps As well as you know make them feel comfortable Talk with them, you know, it's it's for me It's the shows are really about content over like the technical aspects because we have a caller, you know Yeah, caller on the line Okay, they're calling right back So anyway, yeah, I know we'll get them but continue that oh But yeah, it's just really talking just get that good communication going on between hosts and guests and all the technical aspects like Being or keeping an eye on the time, you know listening to Zuri death well everyone should listen to Zuri yeah, and Yeah, that's really what I would say okay caller that was a diamond cabrillo and I wonder if you have a question or comment You want to react to what she was saying? Hello. Yes. Hi. Thanks for calling think tech. You have a question a comment You want to react to what I'm and was saying? Hi, Jai Carol this question is for our interns there, okay now that they've not that they've experienced Live TV studio and video production. I want to know what their plans are in the future And if they're planning to carry this over into into their lot of work afterwards Okay, well, let's let's address that. Thank you for that question. Let's see the question I will repeat the question for you Carol What you know when now that they've seen this the interns have seen what's going on in the studio here Have they incorporated that into their life plan? Do they expect to be doing this as a career later on? So I think I know the answer with diamond, but how about why don't you give us your answer first? Oh? Well, I'm definitely going into film. I'm probably not the broadcasting side of media But uh in terms of productions. Is that what you mean? No, as in like um, I'd like to go into like way out the production side But maybe not a in a live broadcasting studio kind of thing But more in the like the filmmaking Sort of thing like narrative storytelling and in terms of like incorporating things I've learned definitely that communication aspect and Taking the initiative with talking with others planning with others, you know producing and and confirming information But uh, yeah, okay, and diamond of course as We know from team one is gonna be a junior this year at UH at the Academy of Creative Media So it's really well already got one foot at least Filmmaking yeah, like half a foot half a foot. Okay What about you Emily? Well, the reason I did this internship was because I have no clue what I want to do So throughout middle school and high school. I I Did things I tried multiple different things just so when I do have to make that decision I have a lot of things to choose from and I figured out that making videos from you know back in sixth grade with the really bad cameras and Low-quality equipment. I enjoyed that. So you like the low-quality equipment. I like the process I thought this is cool making movies So that's why I took this internship so I could see is this a possible career path Do I want to follow through with this and it is I know you just wrote your profile You mentioned you were also interested in science. Yeah, particularly any particular area Well, that's another thing in science. I tried multiple things. So I Participated in science fair in six eighth and then just last year. Oh, that's great. Yeah, so And I did pretty well. I made it from my school my school's fair to states and then got some awards and Just meeting other scientists and so my in eighth grade. I did a project on the molasses bill So, yeah, that's what I did. Yes, so I That was about like marine biology and then just this past year. I did I Tried to do something on H-Power So that was I guess I'm shifting more talk about H-Power last night. Yeah, so environmental Engineering so I did an engineering project. So those are some possible ideas I don't know if I'd want to pursue science, but I definitely have enjoyed science fair Well, this this has given me the idea to Zuri that maybe this journalism in you three. What's your comment? It's actually really funny. That's exactly what I was thinking while Emily was speaking is she sounds like she could be an Investigative journalist because then she could do a little bit of everything and meet everybody You know you talk about current events you're talking about current issues This is very valuable for think tank important for us That was something that I kept in mind at science fair when I did those projects because when I would walk the hallway looking at the projects I I saw things that were incredible, but I didn't know what they meant it was it flew over my head and I wanted something that would appeal to people that was current So I always looked in the newspaper whenever I had to make that hard decision about what I was going to do I always check the newspaper because I thought that's what the people would want to see good. That's part of our syllabus anyway, yeah Okay, Emily we're at that time of the show when you get to talk to the public Look, you know instead of looking at me or Carol or a diamond look right there in camera one, okay? And tell them how they can be good hosts and guests on think tech. What's the message be prepared that? That's a good thing come on time Which is about a half an hour? 15 minutes until your show Don't wear green. Please. Don't it's very hard for Zuri That's good. Also, you do like you said you want to know your guest so that when you come up here you make them feel comfortable and that it runs smoothly and It's it's like a conversation the cameras not even there, so that's very important because it makes for easy viewing Pretty good What do you got to say diamond Add something Let's see good communication don't wear green Honestly Emily's got it down And Zuri you're closing comment. I'm just gonna speak right over you guys I think that the girls are learning so fast. I can't even call them girls. They're super women. Thank you so much Okay, Carol Monli. It's time for you to close. Well, first of all, I want to thank our First of all, this whole internship program has been such a success our team one with diamond and Haley and team two with Emily Thank you so much for all the time you put in and we look forward to the future of media and Production because of you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you ladies. I'm not gonna call you girls anymore
