Hello, my name is Matt Knarr. During my first half of college, I studied Mass Media Communications at the Pennsylvania College of Technology in Williamsport PA, where I earned my associate degree. During my second half of college, I enrolled in the Penn College’s Web and Interactive Media program, after which time I earned my bachelor’s degree. Skills I have developed during and after graduating from Penn College include camera operations to enhance quality and create unique and pleasing visuals; a mastery of video editing software such as Final Cut Pro; and coding using HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript, and jQuery. Examples of my camera and video editing work can be seen the Videography page.

I am currently working for Penn State as a part-time production assistant for WPSU and a part-time sports videographer for Penn State athletics. My duties include setting up cameras, making sure they are functioning properly, and shooting live events or pre-tapes.
