Meet Meg!
My name is Meg Ruddy and I currently am a Senior at DePaul University. I am majoring in Digital Cinema with a concentration in Production. Somewhere in the future I see myself working in television production as well as documentary production; however, I’m definitely open to other opportunities. Last winter I traveled to London to study abroad and participate in an internship. The experience was amazing and it allowed me to travel throughout Europe and meet an array of outstanding people from different parts of the world.
Meg will be interning on Thursday’s and Friday’s.
A little about Mansfield!
Mansfield is completing his last semester at Columbia College Chicago majoring in television post-production and a minor in non-linear editing. With over eight (8) years of editing experience Mansfield volunteers to edit reels for non-for-profit companies. In the last three years Mansfield’s work experience includes Columbia’s television department where he assists faculty and students with computer lab maintenance, Final Cut Pro and other graphic software. Traveling to other countries has given Mansfield a great appreciation for nature and other cultures.
Mansfield will be interning on Wednesday’s and Thursdays.
Here’s Graham!
I’m Graham, I just graduated from Columbia College Chicago this past May with a Bachelor of Arts in Post-Production,concentrating on Editing.
Columbia was great. I learned so much from so many different people: professors, classmates, industry professionals…etc. I knew when I started at Columbia that I wanted to be an editor and working on the different projects that I worked on there only confirmed that. During my time there, I worked on many different types of projects, but I found myself drawn to documentaries on multiple occasions. These projects also ended up being my favorite ones to work on and be a part of.
Aside from documentaries, I like to work on music videos and other short length projects. Finding something ordinary and trying to turn it into something fun and creative is always a challenge I am willing to accept.
I also bartend at a seafood restaurant in The Loop. I’ve been with the company for going on five years in September. I like being social, joking around and having a good time, so the job definitely suits me.
Some of my other hobbies include golf, biking, music, and being with my friends and family.I’m looking forward to being able to learn and help all I can here at Foundation!
Graham will be interning on Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s.
Get to know Kemani!
I am a Film/ Video major at Columbia College Chicago, with a mental focus in directing. Directing is the PASSION, (seriously have a fascination with it) but I have a general major so I can explore all aspects, because not only am I interested in them, but I believe it will benefit me to be well rounded in the matter! Which is one of the reasons why I applied to be an intern at Foundation Content, because there is a great exploration and collaboration of fields! That’s what I want to do. Explore and collaborate! Gain some inside experience! Make some marvelous connections with the Foundation family! I want to contribute as much as possible, to showcase the knowledge I do have, and be present to gain much more! And with that said, I want people to know, I’m a goofball. I laugh. A lot. I smile uncontrollably. Nothing creepy, I promise. I enjoy bringing light to situations, but I am extremely serious about my work. Music is my go-to therapy, photography is my feel-good hobby/obsession, and all things film is mostly what runs through my head, like all day……everyday. I’m excited to start interning and I’m happy that you’ll have me!
Kemani will be interning on Monday’s and Friday’s.
Meet Tyler!
Greetings!
My name is Tyler Fanning. I’m a twenty-four year old fellow from a really small town in mid-west Illinois. I grew up hunting and clowning around in the woods and crop fields. Somehow, I still managed to be a little geeky. I moved to the big city of Chicago to try to do what I love doing. I have a passion for creating video, as well as for watching it.
I can’t really say that there are a ton of truly interesting things about me. But, I’m over six and half feet tall, so I do stand out a little. Also, I just recently visited Astoria, Oregon where The Goonies was filmed. I was able to see most of the film sites and it felt awesome to be able to geek out in front of the locals.
In May, I graduated from the University of Illinois at Chicago with a BFA in Moving Image. During my spare time there, I taught myself Adobe After Effects and that grew to be my favorite and most comfortable program to use. I enjoy creating motion graphics and I would love to become more adept at doing so.
I’m very excited to start my internship and to get to know Foundation and all of you fine folk.
Tyler will be interning on Monday’s and Tuesday’s.
