Welcome to C*Lee Creations, the place to be to explore my creative ideas and images. My name is Chelsea and I am currently a student at St. Cloud State University. I enjoy spending my time working out, camping, shopping, taking pictures, and spending time with family and friends. I am planning to major in Mass Communication with an emphasis in TV production. For me, I have always had the interest in photography as well as video. I could spend hours upon hours watching wedding videos (especially my favorite one created by The Film Poets, or “how to videos” which pertain how to create wedding films. As you can see, I am very interested in having a career that allows me to be a part of someone’s special day. Later in life, I plan to have my own business for film making and have C*Lee Creations be the production label. Besides my “on-the-side-career,” I work at a pool when I am home as a Lifeguard, Water Safety Instructor, and Desk Attendant. I have learned so many valuable lessons while working there, however I am ready to try and learn something new!

 

Coming to St. Cloud has truly made an impact on my life. First of all, moving to a new state was beyond exciting. I am from a small town in Wisconsin, therefore, moving to a larger city and town with 50 times the amount of people has been challenging, yet rewarding for me. St. Cloud is, in my opinion, a city that has a vast amount of characteristics. From the downtown area with the Paramount Theatre and surrounding shops, to the busy life on the opposite side of town, to the slow paced neighborhoods, St. Cloud truly has a lot to offer. For me in particular, the best thing that has happened since attending St. Cloud is the opportunities I have had at the UTVS television studio here on campus.

 

My first semester, I tried out for a News Anchor position, and lucky for me, I received an email later that night saying that I had got a spot! Throughout the semester, I worked with some more experienced News Directors and Anchors, which helped me to learn all the steps to become a Television star. However, what I loved even more than being on live TV and in front of the camera, was working behind the scenes. In particular, I enjoyed working the cameras, in the control room, and doing video (B-Roll) along with interviews. Throughout this blog, I will keep those of you updated in my life, as well as post the required material pertaining to my Social Media as a Global topic for one of my classes.
