“You can't be what you can't see.”
My name is John Zawawi, and I just finished my freshman year at the University ofMassachusetts Amherst. This is the first internship I’ve ever had, and I couldn’t be happier to be doing it at MEDIABOSS.

The saying 'practice makes perfect’ can apply to many disciplines –sports; music; art.

I write a lot about gear and production for a couple of reasons:
- I love the topic
- We travel quite a bit and we always have to be prepared no matter what, no matter how long the shoot runs, and I like sharing the gear decisions that have been galvanized during field production.
We are huge fans of technology and of course we all have smart phones. They are a godsend for production. Smartphones keep us connected and they provide amazing assistance with specialized apps. You can use your smart phone for almost anything.
But…that's not always a great idea.
