April Update

 

  • Brian (on camera) works with Sands professors Nora and Anne to capture senior showcase (BA Acting) performances.

March was a busy month in the studios on both campuses. In NYC, we began our annual collaboration with Sands faculty to record BA Acting seniors’ monologues and scenes. It’s so much fun to see the actors work their magic in the studio! In PLV, we worked with English faculty to support graduating seniors by creating professional resume video briefs (“elevator pitches”)—a writing and performance assignment, but hopefully also a professional boost!

Don’t miss the latest episode of How to Be A College Superstar (find it on our YouTube channel). Congrats to OLC Student Assistant AJ on developing a set of great interviews, and for experimenting with our NYC studio configuration.

Media Production in March

  • 32 hours of consultations with faculty and staff in Dyson, PESP, Sands, and Seidenberg.

Pace Online Graduation: Recording with Zoom

Hello Pace Online Commencement Speakers!

We are asking speakers to record their speeches for the Pace Online graduation website. This will be a public website, so you are consenting to the publication of your video by participating. Please email us your video by Friday, May 2nd.

Please record your speech in Zoom. Please review these Zoom settings before you hit record:

  • Video: Select “HD;” use Zoom’s “Clips” tool to make a quick video.
  • Recording: use “Local Recording” so you can easily upload the file to our Dropbox or Google Drive (paceolc@gmail.com).
  • Lighting: If you have a ring light or desk lamp, use it in addition to other room lighting. Face toward a window, if you can, but definitely don’t turn your back to one!
  • Sound: Try your best to eliminate background noise.
  • Framing: To eliminate distortion, your camera should be at the same height as your nose. If you have a laptop, try resting it on a box.
  • Edits: No editing necessary! We will broadcast your speech as if you are delivering it live. However, Pace staff will trim the beginning and end of your file. Don’t worry about an awkward start or finish!
  • Questions? Or would you like remote assistance? Reach out to Pace staff at OLC@pace.edu. We’re happy to help!

Delivery

When you have finished your recording, please share your file with the Pace Online team with either Google Drive (paceolc@gmail.com) or Dropbox (paceolc@gmail.com). Thank you!

Please reach out to Online Learning Center staff at OLC@pace.edu if you have any questions. Good luck!

Meet AJ

Hey I am Agneya RN (AJ),I am currently working at Online Learning Center (OLC) as a Student Assistant.

At Pace University, I am doing master’s degree in Social Media and Mobile Marketing and juggling my life in the big apple. My affinity towards video production began when I got the opportunity to direct ads for my college events and this intrigued me and led me do a certification in film making and direction.

I have been in the creative and video production scene for quite some time now and I am excited to work in the pace online studio and help faculty get the best experience and the quality for their videos.
