About Adam Hodnett – September 2016

ABOUT ADAM HODNETT: Anyone who reads back, will find my “About” section filled with years of trying to explain who I am. I’m not entirely sure why I leave it all up…

There is a trend though. I find something about that worthwhile.

To catch you up — I fell in love with the ideas of journalism, after years of loving lots of silly ideas. I switched everything in school, eventually packed my life in a car, and took jobs wherever I could get them.

Two newspapers later, I ended up driving from British Columbia, to work in Campbellton, New Brunswick — an hour from my hometown of Bathurst.

Of course, we all know newspapers haven’t had an upswing in quite some time — and a year later, I ended up laid-off, again.

Now I’m nearing two years on my own, selling what I do individually — videography, photography, and writing. Read more

British Columbia

Here is a video I made of my trip across the continent. On my way back to New Brunswick for a newspaper job, I broke up the 60 hour drive with landscape photography and video shoots. Once settled, I put it together, wrote a small song for it, and this is what came out:

Petawawa Streeter

This is a simple streeter I did for the Petawawa Post. It takes an afternoon to shoot and edit.

Here is how the answers were printed, and the video was advertised.

First Job

November 1, 2012/0 Comments/in About /by Adam Hodnett

I got my first job! I was hired as a reporter/photographer at the Petawawa Post in Ontario. I’m working on their social media as well. And it looks like I’ll be allowed to take on multi-media projects.

It’s a community paper. Petawawa is mostly a military base. We also cover town events and sometimes expand to the neighbouring communities (Pembroke and Deep River). I’m living in Pembroke.

I won’t normally push articles and the weekly paper through my personal social media channels, but I set the paper up with its own. Which I’ll be managing and updating regularly. If you’re interested follow us on Facebook, Twitter, orGoogle+

Weekly pdfs can be found here.

I’m going to keep trying to sell freelance pieces. The size of this paper won’t allow for longer print stories, and they wouldn’t make any money off radio docs. Anything with a Provincial or National scope wouldn’t make sense for this paper either.

I’ll keep posting freelance stuff here, and possibly bigger projects that I’m particularly proud of.

For now, here’s the intro I wrote for the paper.

NBFA – Why Is Art Important?

August 25, 2012/0 Comments/in Uncategorized, Video /by Adam Hodnett

I pitched this idea in an interview for the New Brunswick Foundation for the Arts. I got to spend my summer making it, along with doing other communications work. I traveled around the province meeting with artists and other cultural/artistic organizers. It was wonderful.

NB Music Awards

When my friends were nominated for Music NB awards we decide to make some videos to help spread the word. I showed up in the afternoon, we came up with a few ideas, shot them, edited them, and made a youtube account to upload them, all within a couple days. I actually like this little project.

We ended up making 5 of these:

First About

January 1, 2012/0 Comments/in About /by Adam Hodnett

The thing I like the most about Journalism is that it deals with real characters. I delude myself into thinking I can capture the qualities that prove a character is real. This pursuit alone is enough to keep me going. Read more
