P3 RTN (Alex Seydel)

Christof Putzel created a documentary of Kenya for his college thesis instead of writing a paper. People thought he was crazy for taking on a task like that and he even had to take an extra year in college just to finish putting the video together. But in the end he created a documentary that he was proud of / moved by. It even went on to win student academy awards and would be presented in several film festivals.

RTN Dennis Muren

Screenshotted picture from Dennis Muren’s interview on RoadTrip Nation

Dennis Muren is a well-known special effects guru, mostly known for his work on the famous Star Wars series. He started his work during college but got offered the Star Wars job afterward. At first, Muren denied the offer at the Star Wars set because of the amount of money that was offered. He decided to go back to it because it was to the point where he had to choose his passion or be unhappy for the rest of his life. Originally, Muren wasn’t planning on being so well-known for his work and getting 8 Academy Awards for the special effects work in Star Wars, but there he is.

P2 Riddle

One sheet, two-sheet, three sheets or four…some use less and some use more. What am I?
What has arms and legs, but no head?
What can’t be burned in a fire nor drowned in water?
I have a big mouth and I’m quite a load. I’m not gossip, but I get involved in everyone’s dirty business. What am I?
Stepping out? Wear me first! I’ll protect your feet from the worst.
Tall and strong, I stay outside. The sun, the rain, they’re by my side. I give birds homes and help you breathe. I even give you fruit to eat.
Here I come and there I go. I move really fast, anywhere I go. That’s why you take me when you’re in a hurry. When I zoom by, I might look blurry.
You say we’re pals, that we’re best friends. But only until the morning ends. You say I give you fuel for the day. And when we’re done, you’re gone away. 
 Don’t frown at me, I made it clear. Won’t make a difference if you’re near. Just stand in front and I’ll show you exactly how the world will know you.

P1 About Me (Alex Seydel)

Hello! My name is Alex Seydel, I’ve been a student in the Multimedia program at lane for 2 years and have been taking photos/into photography for the past 7.

Some things about me, I’m a pretty quiet person so you might not hear me talk that much (or at all), but If you want talk to me, feel free to walk up to me cause I’d love to talk. In terms of other things I’m interested in, I’m into track and field/running and I’m also a bit of a video game nerd.

In terms of what I plan on doing after my time at lane, I hope to become either a freelance photographer that covers a variety of subjects. But really I’d be beyond happy to just have job in this field.

I look forward to meeting you all!

P1-About Me

Hello, my name is Tonari Abiori. Other names I go by are Ton (like wonton), Mr.TonTon and Tontonium. I work at Fred Meyer, currently as a dairy clerk. My hobbies include playing video games, using Adobe’s media software, and collecting figures, plushies and pins of anything r related to Nintendo, Sega and Sanrio. I despise being seen in public, so I try to stay home as much as possible. My parents, however, keep me up with their grocery needs. I graduated from Willamette High School in 2018 and became relived because I don’t have to deal with that hell anymore for the rest of my life. During my high school years, I didn’t have any career goals to pursue because I knew I would lose all my friends. While in my senior year, I wounded up a graphic design class for a semester and I ended up making the instructor so impressed she moved me up to the advanced digital arts class the following semester. Since then, I’ve decided that if I were to pursue a career, it would be graphic design.  I’ve been at Lane Community College since 2018, aiming to get my associate degree in graphic design. I started immediately after high school surprisingly and been studying at the college for over five years now. I’ve been taking a lot of breaks because I needed money and then COVID happened. Starting in fall 2022, I managed to balance out my schedule and hopefully, after taking this beginner’s class into media arts, I can use that knowledge to expand in my graphic design.
