Michele Ingari wins emergency preparedness video contest

Congratulations to Michele Ingari, a senior at the University of Delaware, for winning the Office of Campus and Public Safety's emergency preparedness video contest on “Emergency 101: Preparing College Students.” Ingari, who is majoring in communication and foreign languages and literatures with a minor in interactive media, won a $250 cash card as the grand prize winner.

We emailed Michele to get her reaction on winning the contest, and this is what she said:

“To be completely straightforward, I could not have made my winning video without the Student Multimedia Design Center. I don't have a tripod or a video camera, I have a slow laptop instead of a fancy Mac, and I certainly don't have the necessary software or studio space to record a video. I made my entire stop motion movie in the multimedia design center using all their equipment. I was introduced to the resource through one of my art classes three years ago and, since then, I've used it every single semester. The studios are great for shooting videos, practicing presentations and completing projects. For this video and others, I've used the sound-proof studios to record perfect sound bites without any background noise and, as a DJ at the campus radio station, I've actually found the microphones incredibly impressive.  Basically, without the Student Multimedia Design Center as a free resource to UD students, I could not have entered, let alone won the emergency preparedness video contest.”
