Student video earns prestigious awards
A student video project from a Cayuga Community College documentary production class, taught by professor Steve Keeler, has earned two prestigious awards.
The production, “A Tale of Two Lakes,” traces the very different histories of Onondaga Lake, among one of the most polluted in the nation, and Skaneateles Lake, among the cleanest lakes.
The film was awarded both a 2007 bronze from the Telly Awards and a 2006 honorable mention in videography from the Accolade Awards, an international independent competition.
The student producers, all graduates of the college, include Peter Cramer, Laura Harmon, Caleb Kerlin, Lindsey Needell, Brian O'Hare and Eric Smith.
