Every Sunday evening, students arriving at MMW are introduced to the entire Workshops staff, all in about five minutes. Thanks to the 2010 Post production team, Staff Infection, a staff introduction and campus tour video, offers a hilarious kick-off to student orientation.

Filmed by Post Production Manager, Chris Lehmann, the short film features Staff Editors Nik Siefke, Ian Bibby, Kevin Brown and Post Intern Cole Christine, and takes viewers on a whirlwind tour of the school - with a little help from students in The Steadicam Workshop.

Kevin Brown, recalls, “We didn’t think anything would come of it. The Steadicam class shot us moving; they did some really professional work. We have a very enthusiastic and energetic staff here; we have a lot of fun while we learn.”

Enjoying his eighth summer at MMW, Joe O’Brien, Final Cut Pro student from Washington D. C., notes, “The environment at Maine Media Workshops is both intensive and fun. This video proves that you can have a great time working hard.”

Amelia Holmes, senior at Bennington College and Narrative Portrait student, describes the film as, “very catchy.” Interested in the relationship between people and the environment through art, Amelia views the video through a psychological lens, “It’s an amusing and wonderful way to give students information about who can help and how to find things.”

Robert Stevens, in Writing and Developing the Documentary reports, “The video makes it clear that this is a professional school. The media skills people have here are impressive.”
