ETC Team Photos for Spring ‘10

Team photos for our five student teams from the ETC. You can learn more about the projects at our ETC Silicon Valley blog. These are fun to take – there’s a wonderful challenge in trying to convey something about the students and their project.

PlayOnSocial – Creating a social media game for NHN in Korea

iLearn – Creating an iPhone app for NHN in Korea to teach English

Fluxion – Developing an iPhone game using solid, fluid and gas simulation

Spike – Working on a project for the California Academy of Sciences

End of Semester Shots

‘After’ photos for the ETC website. Our students all survived the semester, and they look pretty happy. Shot in a lobby at EA with a big empty wall and white ceiling to bounce the flash off of.

ETC Students, Post Presentations

Shot for our ETC website – five of our CMU-ETC students after giving a presentation about their summer internships.

1/3 second exposure with flash while zooming just a bit.

1/4 second exposure with flash while zooming a lot.

I started shooting before everyone was ‘posed’, which which got everyone much more comfortable and helped them show some real personality.

The Zeppelin – Again!

Teaching has its definite perks. We took our CMU ETC students on a field trip to learn more about the Bay Area – and how better than from a couple thousand feet overhead. Airship Ventures to the rescue! We took off from Oakland, headed over the Bay Bridge, past SF, around Angel Island and back to OAK.

My Students, Rock ‘n’ Roll Style

Class is back in session for our Carnegie Mellon Entertainment Technology Center students. We have two teams out here this semester, and as is customary I shoot team photos at the beginning and the end of the term. I went for an album cover look this time. Shot in a hallway at EA with plenty of natural backlighting from the windows and fill light from a flash. Processed heavily in Lightroom. I loved their attitudes!
