<!–
Show image as background to text. You can’t really calculate the width
reliably in JS because margins are not taken into account by any of
clientWidth, offsetWidth or scrollWidth, so we don’t force a minimum
width if the user is using shrink to fit.
This results in a margin-width’s worth of pixels being cropped. If the
user is not using shrink to fit then we expand the header.

Despite most opposition to my relentless desire to move the city, I stuck with it and moved up here anyways.     It’s been one week that I’ve spent in Manhattan so far, and I. Am. Obsessed.<br />I love the city, the hustle and bustle and the OPPORTUNITY just waiting for me at the beginning of each and every day.   And opportunity is exactly what I encountered this afternoon. I came across a twitter update about MTV’s new search for their first-ever TJ.<br /><br />If you’re wondering what a TJ is, it’s basically a 2010 version of what Carson Daily was as a VJ (Video Jockey) for MTV in the 90′s, but similarly, the TJ position places an emphasis on the world of social media.</span></span></span><br /><span class=”Apple-style-span” style=”font-size: small;”><span class=”Apple-style-span”><span class=”Apple-style-span” style=”color: #666666;”><span style=”font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;”><span class=”Apple-style-span” style=”color: white;”>Of course, you know me, I am going for it with no regrets. If all else fails, at least I tried right?<br /><br />Here are 3 reasons why I believe I should be the FIRST MTV TJ:<br /><br />#1. I am a true MTV girl.<br />Grew up with MTV as a kid. Watched the evolution of MTV throughout the years. I watched as “VJ’s” captivated MTV audiences around the world, and now my dream, is to have that same influence on my contemporaries through the social media as MTV’s first-ever TJ!  <br /><br />#2. Experience. <br />A) I JUST graduated from Auburn University, receiving my Bachelors degree in Broadcast Journalism and Public Administration. <br />B) I am a journalist, TV producer and social media fanatic. <br />C) I’ve worked for MTV before! Yes, that’s right, I’ve been the few and lucky to actually step <span style=”color: white;”>foot into the Viacom building, to eat in the ever-famous Lodge and work for MTV productions as a Production Assistant and Intern!  <br /><br />#3. I live in New York!  <br />Ironic as it may be, I JUST moved to my new apartment in Manhattan last week! I decided to move to the big city and take my chances searching for my dream job so who would have thought the MTV TJ job would be such a perfect opportunity to fall in my lap! It seems like it was meant to be right?!  <br /><br />Help me become MTV’s FIRST EVER TJ!  Follow me on Twitter @_CarrieWilliams <br />OR click this link http://tj.mtv.com/open-nom ination/  MTV</span></span></span></span></span></span><br /><div><span class=”Apple-style-span” style=”font-size: 13px; line-height: 14px;”><span class=”Apple-style-span” style=”line-height: normal;”><span class=”Apple-style-span”><span class=”Apple-style-span” style=”line-height: 14px;”></span></span></span><span class=”Apple-style-span” style=”line-height: normal;”><span class=”Apple-style-span”><span class=”Apple-style-span” style=”line-height: 14px;”></span></span></span><span class=”Apple-style-span” style=”line-height: normal;”><span class=”Apple-style-span”><span class=”Apple-style-span” style=”line-height: 14px;”></span></span></span></span><span class=”Apple-style-span” style=”font-size: 13px; line-height: 14px;”><span class=”word_break” style=”color: white; display: block; float: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-left: -10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;”></span><span class=”word_break” style=”color: white; display: block; float: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-left: -10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;”></span><span class=”word_break” style=”color: white; display: block; float: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-left: -10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;”></span></span></div>Carrie Williamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17247772012149245697carrieleighwilliams@gmail.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758825307520640858.post-33332174520608553652010-06-13T15:29:00.000-07:002011-01-05T15:32:15.384-08:00<span style=”font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;”>This week’s song on repeat is the Feist/Postal Service “Mushaboom” collaboration. </span><br /><span style=”font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;”>This song is so catchy and unique.

The entire experience was ridiculously cool. Although I was literally up at 5a and working until midnight for 3 days straight, I gained so much from working for the ever-talented, Emmy Award Winning  Director, Matthew Mills. Oh, and I met a lot of amazing people too, like Katy Perry!<br />I posted 2 of my favorite videos below from the shoot. In my opinion, Katy Perry’s performance of  ”I Kissed a Girl” is outstanding, Her radio single does not do her voice justice. Listen to how talented this girl is.<br /><br /><br />http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:455024<br /><div style=”font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; padding: 4px; text-align: center; width: 500px;”><a href=”http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/perry_katy/artist.jhtml” style=”color: #439cd8;” target=”_blank”>Katy Perry</a> – <a href=”http://www.mtv.com/music/unplugged/main.jhtml” style=”color: #439cd8;” target=”_blank”>Unplugged</a> – <a href=”http://www.mtv.com/music/” style=”color: #439cd8;” target=”_blank”>New Music</a> – <a href=”http://www.mtv.com/music/video/” style=”color: #439cd8;” target=”_blank”>More Music Videos</a><br /><a href=”http://www.mtv.com/music/video/” style=”color: #439cd8;” target=”_blank”>http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:455021</a><br /><a href=”http://www.mtv.com/music/video/” style=”color: #439cd8;” target=”_blank”></a><div style=”font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; padding: 4px; text-align: center; width: 500px;”><a href=”http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/perry_katy/artist.jhtml” style=”color: #439cd8;” target=”_blank”>Katy Perry</a> – <a href=”http://www.mtv.com/music/unplugged/main.jhtml” style=”color: #439cd8;” target=”_blank”>Unplugged</a> – <a href=”http://www.mtv.com/music/” style=”color: #439cd8;” target=”_blank”>New Music</a> – <a href=”http://www.mtv.com/music/video/” style=”color: #439cd8;” target=”_blank”>More Music Videos</a></div></div>Carrie Williamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17247772012149245697carrieleighwilliams@gmail.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758825307520640858.post-68412854395631271502009-07-01T22:49:00.000-07:002011-01-07T23:22:12.054-08:00My first experience working the MTV Unplugged shoots this summer was for the band, Paramore.

After a year and a half of writing Ryan Seacrest letters and cyberstalking the man i hopes of getting a job, I’ve decided to take the more public…interactive route, if you will.

It’s called the “Hire Me Ryan Seacrest” campaign. It’s simple really, the overall goal is to collect enough web-based attention through social media sites…and me just being outright obnoxious, and surely Ryan Seacrest or “his people” will hear about it and give me a shot to at least interview for a job…right? RIGHT!

So phase one of my campaign is complete. first phase of my website: check! http://hiremeryanseacrest.com

More cool stuff to come… I’m welcome to ideas and suggestions

T-Swift Surprise Performance at Auburn

T-Swift’s Auburn Appearance!

Monday began as one of the dreariest days ever; not sleeping from editing and working on projects the night before, then hiding underneath a desk in between classes to find at least 15 minutes of nap time (out of 48 hours of lost sleep). However, as I was huddled in a ball underneath that desk napping, I get a phone call from my best buddy/News Director of Eagle Eye, Bradley Green.“Taylor Swift is in Auburn. Meet me in the parking deck with a camera in 20″

He whispered and hung up….so yeah, I was confused so I just went back to sleep.

UHMMM JUST KIDDING! I don’t think I could have crawled out from underneath that desk faster!!!!

WAHOO Taylor Swift, she’s my girl…and plus, Auburn rarely has really ridiculously famous people around, I figured I had to cease the moment!

Brad and I rushed up to the secret concert location, got in the press line (which went from 5 people to 500 in a matter of 5 minutes). no joke.

Taylor Swift visits Auburn University from Eagle Eye TV on Vimeo.

As we waited for Taylor Swift to arrive, The “Hug From Taylor Swift” Guys kept the crowd entertained with some jokes, awkward personal stories and of course, plenty of Taylor Swift sing-along-songs… so obviousllyyyy me and the other AU Singers tried to go up on stage and look really cool… fail. Check out the video haha.
AU Singers Attempt at singing “Love Story”
After our creepy performance, Taylor Swift finallly came out put our “performace” of Love Story to shame. The fact that Taylor Swift actually flew down to visit Chris and Ryan to give them a hug, put on a secret concert AND deck her entire crew out in Auburn gear makes her 100% LEGIT in my books. love her. Watch the full performance above.

VEGAS TAKE OVER!

Last week myself, Eagle Eye TV and the WEGL radio station, attended the NAB-BEA conference in Las Vegas. Not only was this trip a complete blast (being in Vegas with 12 of my best friends), but wait….I actually learned a lot in Vegas too!!!

During the week of the conference I attended many of the NAB workshops which ranged from “How to Break into Broadcasting” to “Ethics of Producing Documentary Films.” Needless to say, I walked away from each seminar with even more insight, respect and ferver for the industry I am about to pursue…so I am more psyched about it than ever. (except for the whole… not getting paid a lot and living in a garbage can in NYC…oh well. haha)

One event that I found particularly beneficial at the conference was Career Day. I visited tables hosted by CNN, ESPN, Cruise Lines, NPR, had the opportunity to sit down and meet with a career consultants and resume coaches, additionally, I was interviewed by Philip Dahlheimer, from Pinkslip.com, which is a career networking site structured to assist incoming students get discovered by employers in the TV-Film industry. Check out my interview!

My Ultimate Marine Corps Challenge

Watch me try runnin’ with the Marines!

The Ultimate Marine Corps Challenge

I have grown up a military brat my whole life. My father has been in the Navy for 40 year needless to say, my family and I have moved around more times than I can count. Although there’s always been a chip on my shoulder growing up in the military environment, I sincerely respect, honor and value the men and women who serve our country…and you gotta love a man in uniform right ladies

(I’m getting to the point I swear.) So ever since I came to Auburn, my Dad’s been bugging me to visit the ROTC unit on campus and meet some of the military guys. Well, it took me about 4 years, and let me jut say, I did more than just hang out with the guys… Hey! get your heads out of the gutter, I am referring to a little bootcamp, morning work-out Marine action people!

I decided to do a news piece on the few, the strong, the proud…oh yes…the Marines. In order to really get an idea of what life is like to be a Marine and a full time student, I figured I’d have to suit up and put myself in their shoes…literally.

Check out my video where the AU Marines give me a run for my money in “The Ultimate Marine Corps Challenge!”

Celebrating 21 with My Family. Cheers!

This year for my big 21…I won an Emmy!!!

After work, I hauled it back to my apartment and quickly packed up my suit case for the Emmy Award Ceremony, I literally shoved random clothes in a suitcase. (A little Emmy background for you: The day before I had to move up to NYC, I got an e-mail from the Director of Promo. at NBC informing me that I would receive

an “Outstanding Student Production” Regional Emmy Award for the show, “NBC Interns” I co-produced, directed, edited, filmed and starred in!)

After an awkward 4-hour-long bus ride sitting next to a neurotic mother on the phone with her son who had an accident in his pants at school, I was finally back home in D.C., and excited to celebrate the Emmy’s and my 21st birthday with my family! My parents and little brother Ricky picked me up from the bus stop in Vienna and took me to my favorite restaurant ever, Coastal Flats.

My parents, Ricky and I met up with my sister, Heather, and brother-in-law, Karl at Coastal

Flats; I realized then how refreshing it was to reunite with my family back home and take a little break from the craziness of NYC. In the event of my 21st birthday, I took a stronger interest in the exciting cocktails so I completely overlooked food menu. I began my drinking spree with a Key Lime Martini, followed by a Mango Martini, then a Mint Mojito and a refreshing Margharita….things got blurry thereafter…I’m thinking it was either the rum or tequila that made me a little tipsy…who knows, but I had an awesome birthday party with the fam.

21. NYC. DC. Emmy Awards!

My 21st Birthday in NYC.
The first week I moved to the Webster, the girls I became friends with took me out for my birthday and we had the best time ever. We had cocktails in the backyard garden of the Webster, which by the way is an incredible place. No where else in NYC has a full on, legitimate garden

except Central Park so I feel very lucky to have that where I am staying. After keeping it classy and drinking wine in the garden, we set off to

Pink Elephant, an up-scale, elegant night club in West Chelsea. I was so lucky to have such a great group of people with me to celebrate my 21st birthday. My friends John Wafford & Mike Leigh from Auburn ended up coming and partying with me for my special day too, and we had the best time ever. The bar was extraordinary, the drinks were incredible and the great friends I was with made my birthday a night in NYC I will never forget!

The day of my birthday I had to work, but I had an incredible time so I really didn’t mind it at all. That Friday I had a shoot for MTV’s, “The 5″ web segement.

The GS Boyz came

in to promote their summer album release and show me a thing or two about how to properly do “the stanky leg” and “the booty dew.” After a successful shoot, Keely, the MTV office manager on the 17th floor, gave out MTV Movie Award cupcakes which A. were THE BEST cupcakes I ever experienced in my entire life, and B. seemed like the appropriate time to have a cupcake party…on my birthday!!

My BIG move to the BIG Apple!

So, in the event of my first experience moving, living and beginning my official NYC internship…

I decided to start a blog! Wow, I never thought I’d one day become a “blogger,” but hey this thing seems like it could be kinda cool! Where to begin,

where to begin…

Day one: I drove from DC up to NYC; car jam-packed with a million clothes and best of all: 5 hours in a car with my parents…that’s a whole other story for a whole other day. Finally, after the steriotypical parental fight over directions and a few detours later, I had made it to my little New

York apartment… home sweet home!!!

The place I am staying this summer is pretty sweet. I can’t really complain. Overall pro’s: home-made breakfast, lunch & and dinner; someone to make my bed and take out the trash (super awesome)!! Cons:

NO BOYS ALLOWED…or really…anyone. like, not even my parents (WTH?) Not even my Dad could come upstairs to check out my place…so this rule is re-freaking-diculous as far as I’m concerned!

About my Apartment/Room…. Well, In a nut shell, no, literally my room is literally the size of a nut shell. However, throughout the past week I have really gained a liking towards it. My room has a quaint, cozy kind of feel to it and plus I am in NYC so life doesn’t get much better than this.

Well if you couldn’t tell, I am still an inexperienced “blogger” so my first entry is not award-winning of course, BUT it’s a start… and my entries will be EPIC by the end of this summer, mark my words. OK it’s been a week and I need to unpack and make my apartment look like a civilized person lives here. I’ll have later posts on my first week at MTV &anp; my Emmy Award experience!

Catch yall on the flip side!
