Joe Buck is the #1 national play-by-play broadcast announcer for FOX sports. Joe is also the proud son of Hall of Fame sportscaster Jack Buck. Joe has won numerous Sports Emmy Awards for his work with Fox Sports, including his roles as lead play-by-play announcer for the network's National Football League, including Super Bowls, as well Major League Baseball coverage, and the World Series.

​On this episode, Joe shares what life is like during quarantine and his thirst for play-by-play announcing. Joe also spoke about preparing for an NFL game, guarding against going too crazy in the booth during his biggest moments, the criticism he takes on social media (and his supposed hate of certain teams,) and how he handles it all. Joe shares incredible advice for our broadcast students by discussing how listening and watching your own work is a must and about being proud of your work, without seeking validation.

​This show offers a wonderful peak inside Joe's ascension from a young announcer for KMOX Radio in St. Louis, to broadcasting the most watched sports games on television, and the obligation Joe feels to use his platform to serve the greater good.

14 year-old Terry produced this news package interviewing his dad to find out what Media Makers is all about. Terry shot this video all on his iPhone 11 Pro, used some BRoll from his dad, and edited his very first project in Final Cut Pro X.  In the video, Don explains the purpose of Media Makers and you will get a behind the scenes look at his rather interesting, makeshift home studio.
​

What is Media Makers?
Don Goble, the Broadcast Technology Instructor at Ladue Horton Watkins High School in St. Louis, MO, created a speaker series titled, Media Makers. Don interviews his former Ladue High School alumni now working in the media business, as well as some of my professional media maker friends. Using Zoom, Don's students are invited to participate live to ask questions, or watch the video after. Students are asked to research important facts about these professionals, blog about what they learned, and then find one to two stories these professionals produced, or collaborated on, to write about in their personal blogs, along with an image(s) related to the story.

Don hopes his students will be inspired to learn more from these professionals to improve their own practice when they can leave their homes and tell stories again from the field.

Malia Bruker is an Assistant Professor in the School of Communication at Florida State University, and she is also the director of "Chase" the film we profile in this show of Media Makers. While the film "Chase" began production in 2009 and was only release six years ago, the premise, technology, and storytelling are incredibly relevant during our societies pandemic isolation. On this episode, we dive deep into the storytelling, themes, motivations, and goals of this incredible short film and relate to today's realities. We also spoke about the incredible program offered at Florida State University for students to explore non-fiction filmmaking, such as documentaries, as well as a robust sports media program for students to cover Seminole sports hands-on. 
Show Notes
  • ​Faculty of the Future | Malia Bruker
Malia has produced a number of other film you can watch here:
​Alluvium (2018) HD video, documentary, TRT 10:48
Role: Director, Cinematographer, Editor, Producer
Link: https://vimeo.com/240765613
Password: site specific
  • Synopsis: The rolling hills and ancient villages of Tuscany provide the backdrop for Alluvium, both an experimental documentary about art-making and a piece of art in itself. As artists from across Italy gather to create work in and inspired by the Tuscan landscape, Alluvium observes their praxis, then quietly drifts into its own. The stunning cinematography makes magic of the process of finding inspiration, slipping between reality and illusion, observation and performance.
Sakhi (2018) HD video, documentary, TRT 6:15 
Role: Director, Cinematographer, Editor
Link: https://vimeo.com/250894021
  • Password: Hamburg
  • Synopsis: In a metal container that sleeps four men, Sakhi Poya serves green tea. Though rarely entered by German citizens, Harburger Postrasse Refugee Housing is the first stop for thousands who flee their war-torn and economically ravaged homelands in search of stability and safety in Hamburg. In the quiet fluorescence of his new home, Sakhi recounts his harrowing journey from Afghanistan, revealing fears, frustrations and dreams of an ordinary life. Despite his simple and spare surroundings, Sakhi’s rich visions for the future and his role in society build a subtle but powerful portrait of the modern refugee experience.​
Klasse (2105) HD video, dance film, TRT 9:16
Role: Director, Editor
  • Link: https://vimeo.com/152655410
  • Synopsis: Klasse is a narrative dance film that tracks back to the winter of 1938 in Jewish Hamburg, Germany at the height of WWII. In an old school classroom kept just as it was during the war, an intimate cast of German middle school students and professional dancers brings to life a year of letters written between young classmates as they left one by one on the Kindertransport. Klasse captures what it feels like to be heroic at age twelve both then and now, as the contemporary classroom reflects Europe’s continuously shifting demographics.
