In April, our Audio Production team of Connor and Laila won 2nd place at the @skillsusa New York State contest in Syracuse. This is their prizewinning piece! They had to create a 1-minute piece about the benefits of CTE in high school as well as a 30 second ad for the @NYSFair.
The 3rd place film from Video Wars 2025 was created by Ariana Davis, a Johnson City senior. The judges noted her use of sound mixing, storytelling, and clean edits made her film stand out during screening. Great job, Ariana! @BTCareerTechED
The 2nd Place film from Video Wars 2025 was made by Ivelyse Guzman, a @UECSDTigers senior. The judges were blown away by her composition, editing, pacing, and use of the prompt (an unexpected communication). Well done, Ivelyse! @BTCareerTechED
The winning film for Video Wars 2025 was created by Merrick Nagle, a Video Production student from Susquehanna Valley. Judges appreciated Merrick’s storytelling, creativity, and use of the prompt (an unexpected communication). Congrats, Merrick!

@BTCareerTechED Anne just came back from her photography field assignment and is editing. There is also a print component of the contest. @BTCareerTechED
Thank you so much to the wonderful @chrisrankin for answering questions from @BTCareerTechED video production students about both acting (Percy Weasley in Harry Potter) and working as a production coordinator on various TV shows. What a fun opportunity!!
Today Video Production seniors took a trip to @sunybroome to tour the Communications department and hear from marketing professionals. The podcast studio, foley sound fx lab, and photo dark room were among the highlights!
We had a visit from Stephanie Krummenacker, owner of @mediabrush yesterday! She talked to our students about careers in the marketing industry. Thanks so much for stopping by!
And two more from the morning class! Ivelyse (@UECSDTigers) and Brenden (Vestal). These students had to pass both a written and practical portion of the test to become certified in Adobe Premiere Pro.
We have our first batch of brand new Adobe Certified Professionals for this year! These students took the exam on video editing in Premiere Pro and aced it!
Jamel (@BinghamtonCSD), Maya (Vestal), Donovan (@MECSDSpartans), Colin (@UECSDTigers).
What a fun day! Video production students toured @wicztv. A massive thanks to the team there for taking the time to give students a behind the scenes look and answer all their questions! Always fun being back at my old stomping grounds. @BTCareerTechED
