Interview with a Film Editor for TV

This is my interview with Derek L. and he is a film editor for television. I think this is a really cool job and so creative because he gets to look at all the tapes that were filmed and takes bits and pieces and adds music to turn it into a tv show episode. I think this job would be really hard to do and you need to take a lot of classes. But I think it's awesome that everyone gets to see your work on tv and you can get famous. My mom says Derek is a really good baker and likes movies and reading books and so do I. Derek said he's going to teach me how to make and edit movies but I really hope that I get to try some of his cupcakes.

Here are some examples of Derek's work: http://vimeo.com/user2958909

And this is our interview:

Interview with an Art Director and Founder of tracksfor.com

I interviewed Chad Kabigting and he is my godfather. Chad is a freelance art director/associate creative director in advertising. I looked it up in the dictionary and Freelance means "working for different companies at different times rather than being permanently employed by one company". I think that means he gets to choose the work that he gets to do and doesn't have to work all the time.

Chad is also the founder of a cool website named tracksfor.com. It has to do with twitter and music and play lists like the ones on your iPod. Chad is really funny and nice. He lives in Toronto now but a few years ago, my mom and I went to visit him in Vancouver. We had fun there.

I drew my picture and chad's picture and my mom outlined it in black marker and I coloured it in. Here is my interview:

Interview with a Teacher

I interviewed my best friends dad, Royan Lee. He is a really fun teacher and I wish I could be in his class one day but I can't because I don't go to his school. Mr. Lee is very creative and likes to use iPads and iPods in his classroom. He is an Apple educator. Mr. Lee is a very good singer and guitar player and he teaches us songs like "Waving Flag", "Rolling in the deep" and "Heart of Gold" so that we can do concerts for our families and friends. If you are in his class you are really, really lucky!!

You can visit his blog at spicylearning.wordpress.com for some really good information about teaching and the internet.

Here is our interview:

Interview with a Children's Book Editor

Some kids know what they want to be when they grow up like some want to be teachers or doctors or vetrenarians. My mom said when she was little she wanted to be an archetect or an accountant and she even wrote that in her grade 4 year book. I think I want to be an artist or a teacher when I am older and my mom told me there are many different jobs that relate to art and not just the painter or drawer kind but I don't know what they all are. I definitely hope to do get a job that is creative.

My mom gave me the idea to interview some of her friends so that I could get an idea of what types of jobs there are in the world.I think that is a good idea because it will give me more information and let me learn about the different jobs that I didn't know about.

Here is the first interview and I plan to do many more.

I did my first interview with Samantha Swenson last year. She is a children's book editor and likes to do crafty things (my mom told me that) and is very good at felting (I don't know what that is) and painting cartoon monsters. Here are my questions and down below are her answers.
