Multimedia

Below are more exam­ples of my usage of soft­ware to cre­ate videos, audio, an info­graph­ic and inter­ac­tive map. Using Adobe Pre­miere Pro and Adobe Audi­tion, I could edit videos and match sound lev­els. Using a cam­era is also some­thing I am com­fort­able with.

Kyle Muncy lays down the law of brand deals / Video

The Uni­ver­si­ty of Con­necti­cut’s direc­tor of brand part­ner­ships sits down to explain how brand ambas­sadors work on cam­pus­es with estab­lished con­tracts with oth­er brands like Coca-Cola. In this inter­view, the host, Estelle Jar­rett, speaks with Kyle Muncy about how stu­dents some­times get mar­ket­ing jobs for brands like Rock­star Ener­gy or Pep­si, but those stu­dents can­not hold any adver­tis­ing in uni­ver­si­ty facil­i­ties- or at least are not sup­posed to. 
 
With the imple­men­ta­tion of NIL on July 1, 2021, stu­dent ath­letes have been able to form rela­tion­ships with oth­er brands and have their own con­tracts. Muncy express­es the uni­ver­si­ty’s desire to pro­tect their ath­letes with these new endeav­ors despite these brands being com­peti­tor brands to their associations.

Col­lec­tors, arti­sans and fans of the Mar­ble Col­lec­tors Soci­ety and the North­east Mar­ble Meet min­gled in the warm atmos­phere of the Storrs Inn on Oct. 6 and 7. All were wel­come to take a peek into their col­or­ful world of nos­tal­gia and fun. I went in to talk to these mar­ble lovers, seek­ing to under­stand how deep the pas­sion rolls and I wrote a script for this video. This slideshow shows what kind of trea­sures the Nut­meg State Mar­ble Show boasts and what indi­vid­u­als are behind the mag­ic.

Best veg­an restau­rants in Brook­lyn, New York / Map

Being veg­an for two years, I’ve made it my mis­sion to map out my favorite spots to get some of the best food in New York City if you find your­self across the riv­er in Brooklyn. 

I lived in Prospect Park area with my sis­ter from 2019–2022 dur­ing my gap year and while attend­ing col­lege. Dur­ing that time, I was 18 years old and find­ing myself cook­ing a lot while falling down the rab­bit hole of eco-friend­ly eat­ing. Aside from the ben­e­fits to the earth, I find veg­an food to be won­der­ful­ly cre­ative and eye-open­ing to some­one who may be a picky eater. The ways peo­ple fig­ure out how to sub­sti­tute meats and sea­son foods is fas­ci­nat­ing and fun! 

Restau­rants are a great way to intro­duce your­self to veg­an food or gath­er ideas for your own cook­ing adventures.

Here are five options for dif­fer­ent moods and scenarios.
