Reflection: Pop + Commemoration Video

I would most likely consider Pop to be one of the best experiences of my college life simply because it was something fresh. I don't know of too many classes that can provide the same experience that ETHS 210 could.

As a part of the "Video" team I felt we did a great job with the Newsreel video

*Unfortunately Justin removed the video from YouTube* but I hope you all enjoyed the show.

My only regret in this project was not providing any creative output into the video because I thought it would've been awesome if we did a commercial spoof on Geico caar insurance.

The show itself was phenomenal, Ernest and I believed the show would be nothing more than a few presentations here and there but to our disbelief, it turned out to be a theatrical quality-type show.

From the first ETHS 210 class, I enjoyed the video about Yuki becoming an American. I thought it was very creative and funny. In regards to Asian American culture, that group in particular addressed the identity issue. An issue that a lot of Asians face because of traditions that conflict with American society. Although I find it hard to believe a boy from Japan has never seen a Cheeseburger before.

Even though our class went overtime, I believe we did an incredible job on it. Although I admit, we're not as organized as the other class; we managed to put on quite a show. I guess what felt odd was the ending but I stick by my belief that you leave the ending commemoration VIDEO to the VIDEO GROUP.

I missed the last class' performance but I heard a lot of cheers from the outside. Regardless, it's tough to get on stage and perform in front of people but it takes a lot of bravery to do so.

No matter what happened, even if the guy doing poetry whispered "oh...fuck" in front of a lot of people, it takes a lot to do that and that deserves a lot of credibility.

I couldn't think of a better way to have my semester of ETHS 210 come to an end.

Oh and here's our commemoration video:
