We realized HTV had a fairly well-known national reputation, and I was getting lots of calls from teachers just starting a program. Hillcrest senior Josh Martin will take on the management of this website for a second straight year as the 2001-2002 school year begins in September. Kirk Hadden, who will be a senior next fall, has produced outstanding animations and graphics for the show with the Lightwave and Final Cut Pro software. Hadden learned the basics of animation from long-time HTV volunteer Mike Teuber, who provided training last summer before school resumed. It's exciting to think about the things Kirk will come up with next year.
Reporters help Hadden by ordering a special graphic or animation a couple of weeks before they edit.
The process should be a little faster now that two new G-4s have been added to the studio.
