I flow like water, I try not to stress and I let the current take me where it wants. I'm calm and kind to all those who come near me. I'm creative, impulsive and don't care what others say about me. I hope that one day I can be apart of the big ocean that is our community. I find water to have deep symbolism but to be honest I'm just a guy trying to find his place in the world.

Hi, my name is britt. I am taking this class because I never thought about trying it out till this year and I finally decided to do it. What I enjoy most about this class is all the new things I learn everyday. There is always something to do.  The coolest thing I probably did was work on being on camera. I have major stage fright so for me to get in front of a camera is a big deal for me. I still get really nervous, but im getting better.

Hi! I am Chara, and current member of channel 7 oaks, and a sophomore @ Maples Collegiate.  I joined Channel 7 Oaks for the reason to learn and know about TV and the performing arts. I also liked gadgets and other stuff related to technology. I’m also in J.V Badminton team and MCDC (Maples Collegiate Dance Crew).  Being in Channel 7 Oaks is so much fun, you can be a camera operator in a day and be the director in the next day or any position in a crew you want. And you get to mingle with other people and meet new friends!! :D

Czaczi  2013 Alumni
Hello! I’m Cza-Czi pronounced “cha-chi” but spelled with a “Z” (I know it’s complicated but yeah that’s life). At first, I only joined Channel 7 Oaks because of my utmost curiosity of what could be happening behind the lights and cameras. This was the perfect course that never failed to make me realize how it is like, letting me experience it personally and believe me, so far it has been tough but a whole lot of fun. We don’t just fiddle around with cameras and tinker the audio mixers – it is more than that. We are gradually taught how to properly control, use, and manipulate every machine from switchers to Teleprompters by proficient teachers. But it’s not just all about learning stuff. Through the process you will also get the chance to meet new people that you will be working with at the backstage. Behind the scenes we all help and guide each other to the best of our abilities and have developed friendships because of this. Channel 7 Oaks has definitely given me a lot of different learning opportunities which contributed on giving me so far such a wonderful experience. And I love pizza like everybody else.

Guian  2013 Alumni
My name is Guian and it is my first year film and broadcasting at Maples Collegiate and I have learned many things. I was actually very impressed with the Maples film program because the equipment is very good and the teachers have a lot of experience to share with us the students. Additionally, I have learned many technical skills about the equipment and video editing that I found was just a real artwork. Next year I will be joining the Channel 7 oaks crew that will be filming at Arts in The Park and I am very excited to shoot the amazing talents of the different schools.
