Below is an example of video I shot on a flip cam and edited in Windows Movie Maker with the story I wrote about a Boston rapper who performed at my college.
Moufy Comes to LSC
Story and video by Samantha VanSchoick
Orginally published in The Critic
A line of students stretched down the Alexander Twilight Theatre lobby, past the commuter lounge and all the way down to the Gravity Well, waiting to see Boston rapper Moufy perform.
“I’m so excited, I can’t wait!” sophomore business major Michael Cartularo yelled.
The doors opened at 6:40 p.m., but students began lining up an hour prior, hoping to get front row seats.
Brooke Parciak, music business industry major, was in charge of counting the number of students who walked through the door.
“Dude, I’m aiming for 400 right now,” Parciak said enthusiastically. “Actually, I’d be happy with 260.”
With an attendance that hit over 400 students, Parciak and the rest of the event planning class were very happy.
Jose Fortunato, former Lyndon State College student and Moufy’s brother and merchandise manager, said it was strange to be back.
“It’s kind of weird seeing a lot of familiar faces and not being able to say ‘hi’ to everyone,” Fortunato explained. ‘That’s just really the funny part about it. But I’m excited about the show, I’ m more excited than a little bit weirded out.”
Sophomore electronic journalism majors John Kazar and Alex Farnsworth were also excited to see Moufy.
“Should be a great show,” said Kazar.
Farnsworth’s favorite element of a concert is “the atmosphere. When you see he’s having fun, you have fun with him.”
One student was more excited to see the opening act than the headliner.
“I’m here for Freddie,” said senior television studies major Paul Shaw. “[The concert’s] cool though, go LSC!”
The show opened at 7 p.m. with Lyndon State College senior Freddie Losamba, followed by Dunn, an up and coming rapper from Brooklyn, NY.
Once the opening acts finished, there was a 15-minute intermission while the sound crew set the stage.
The crowd erupted when Moufy and the rest of the Star Gang affiliates ran on stage.
“People were coming backstage and telling me ‘Yo, it’s live out there,’ so I was like word, I want to get out there, I want to get out there!” Moufy said. “And when we went out there it was just crazy.”
During the show, Moufy gave a heartfelt speech about how important it was to be at LSC.
“One of the most important people in my life went here,” he said to cheering fans. “I can see why he loved it so much. There are a lot of beautiful people here tonight.”
Moufy said the highlight of the show came when he performed his popular songs.
“When ‘Boston Lights’ came on that was crazy,” Moufy said after the show. “’Twist it and Light it’ and ‘Throw my Threes’ were crazy. So those three songs were really crazy and fun.
“The show went really well, so I’m feeling great,” said Moufy.
He left the rest of the night up to his brother.
“Well you know my brother used to go here, so I’m at my brother’s mercy, wherever he says the party’s at is what I’m going to do.”
Christina Cadorette, senior MBI major and integral part of organizing the event, was extremely happy with how smoothly the show went.
“There really weren’t any big issues,” Cadorette said. “The show was a success.”

Need an employee who can edit in Audacity? Who know's how to embed? Here is an example of a fun podcast that I created geared toward a college audience about a columnist in (who is also my roommate) the school paper. Please note: there is profanity in the podcast, as it was geared toward a very specific audience.
This week's edition features a tour of ANGRY ANI's CHILL PAD:
If you are not aware of who Angry Ani is, you are missing out. Angry Ani’s popularity came from her opinion column in Lyndon State College’s newspaper The Critic.
Though she is famously known for the outrageous rants in her column, this week we get to find out what doesn’t make Ani angry.
Angry Ani is a woman that knows exactly what she likes and this knowledge seems to know no bounds. Her tricked-out apartment is nothing to be ashamed of and is most definitely worthy of being the spotlight on this week’s podcast.
Angry Ani lives in quite the palace: 75 square feet, two bed-rooms, one kitchen, a half bath, and a living room equipped with a hammock.
To get to Angry Ani’s “chill pad,” visitors must climb the “stairway to heaven.”
Angry Ani likes to “keep it classy up in here,” with several items that are precious to her. Among them are her beloved dogs, two Lay-Z-Boy recliners, one flat screen television, and a “no pants policy.”
Angry Ani’s kitchen lives up to her vivacious personality, being decked out with hardwood flooring, a great view of the driveway, and a fridge stocked with Corona Light and pudding.
Angry Ani keeps all different types of pudding “up in here.” She also “represents” by showing off some LSC pride with a flag that hangs above the sink.
In her down time, Angry Ani likes to cook in her saffron kitchen that is lined with multi-colored Christmas lights, “’Cause we’re always shinin’ bright.” Angry Ani likes to keep it classy.
None of these wonders even come close to the amazement that is the “Scoliosis shower”, or as Ani says, “the S.S.—or the scolioshish shower.” Angry Ani can stand in the shower despite the slanted walls, but it “looks like she has that disease where her back is crooked.”
Now to where the “magic” happens, Angry Ani’s bedroom.
Angry Ani’s room comes with a Greek flag to show her Greek pride.
Whenever her bed moves, the ceiling fan in the apartment below will shake. “I know how to make the ceiling fan shake,” Ani assured us.
If Angry Ani does one thing well it’s not caring what other people think because they are wrong. Ani shows off her 2011 Robert Pattinson calendar to all who enter her bedroom. “He’s hot,” she exclaimed.
Of course, Angry Ani’s ride is “baller status.” Her Honda Element is “riding dirty,” with a crooked roof rack.
With 30 inch spinners, a plastic floor (for easy clean ups), six cylinders, and seats that turn into beds, Angry Ani has made sure her ride is “fly .”
Before leaving Angry Ani’s crib, she left us with one last message.
“’Outta my house bitches! Peace!”
Next week, LSC Cribs takes a heavy metal tour of the “Hall of Pain” suite in the Rita Bole Complex with Nick Brien, General Manager at WWLR, and his suitemate senior graphic design major Chad Abromovich.
