| As a student at UT, John worked for the Department of Media Services starting at the beginning of his sophomore year. (The formerly autonomous Department of Media Services has since become a part of UT's Department of Communication.) For most of the three years he was employed at Media Services, John worked the maximum 20 allowed hours per week, where he shot and edited numerous programs for the department, including sports highlights, promotional, and biographical videos. He was responsible for the editing of highlights packages for the weekly coach’s show, Rocket Replay, that was produced at the time, as well as the setup, inventory, and some basic maintenance and installation of equipment used both in the studio and the remote truck. He oversaw student crews for remote productions and coordinated setup and strike crews. During live productions, John had duties as a camera operator or A1 audio tech, and he also served as a teacher’s assistant for three television production classes on four occasions. |
