“Hokie Nation” heated competition in practice

Kim Koditek and Erin Miller of Hokie Nation, one of the eight teams competing in the 2014 Semi-Annual Video Field Days, became the dominating player by four wins after letting Transylvania – the only team of three – leading the first two events. Advanced Multimedia Reporting Professor Derley Aguilar, host of the much anticipated competition, revealed the success behind the winning team, “It is the small details that matter, my friend.”


The competition is held in Room #157, Moss Art Center on September 17, 2014 as part of the course to help students “understand how to take care of and use the equipment.” Students were challenged with tasks involved with setting up the camera and adjusting several functions. Alex Marinello, winner of the first Orange event said that she “was really nervous going into it” but later added that she “started to focus on what needed to be done, and not worrying about the stress.”
