Opera on YouTube
I've shared links to complete opera performances before, but I love to share them, so I thought I'd make a few masterposts.
These list are by no means the only complete filmed performances of these operas on YouTube, but I decided that ten links for each opera was enough for now.
By the way, some of the subtitles are just a part of the video, while others require you to click CC to see them.

Diego's Fall 2023 Internship Summation
In the fall semester of 2023, I interned for the company SeaLifeRipple, which is a video-based swimming lessons company that also focuses on children’s meditation and mindfulness. The company was founded in 2020 by Kelsey Fleming.
When I questioned my supervisor about the motivation behind creating SeaLifeRipple, she answered that her reason for combining the three practices is that when she was younger, she began teaching swimming lessons from the age of 14 and incorporated meditation and mindfulness lessons into her structure when, after receiving her certification in health coaching, she saw athletes practice them in order to perform better. She also cited the book “Attached” by Dr. Amir Levine and Rachel Heller, M.A., as inspiration for the underlying motivation of her videos. The book covers how parents who establish healthy relationships with their children from an early age help prepare them to build healthy relationships with romantic partners or other significant others later in life. By her inclusion of mindfulness activities - such as affirmations, breathing exercises, and visualizations - she believes it will help motivate a healthy bond between parent and child, which would help the child pursue healthy relationships as they grew older.
For my internship, I did a day’s worth of recordings of introductions and outros with which to update the pre-existing project files that my supervisor had me work on by improving or expanding upon the work of the previous interns that had worked with her. The remainder of the internship was spent editing the projects as necessary, reviewing with my supervisor about certain directions or issues, and finalizing the projects by rendering and exporting them under a new name, so as to avoid rewriting over past interns’ work. This involved me learning how to readjust the render location on a project file and how to redirect the save locations of the different properties, such as captured audio and video, audio and video previews, and the other media located in the project. As I did my edits, I began experimenting with the lighting, the sound, and the various technical facilities Premiere Pro had to offer, which allowed for some easy audio modifications, as well as some interesting visual enhancements.
However, not everything was smooth sailing. The most frequent issue during the beginning of my internship was dealing with missing files, such as custom lower thirds and graphics, as well as the lack of reverse compatibility with the 2023 and 2024 versions of Adobe Premiere Pro that made me create new timelines that worked with the updated version. Luckily, I was able to get help through my supervisor and my peers. Firstly, my supervisor was able to get me in contact with the previous intern, who was very helpful in sharing what he still had from his work on the projects. Secondly, the Communications department assistant helped me adjust my Premiere settings so that I was able to fix the technical issues. Whenever I felt as though there were issues with the project or the general flow of the video, I would always contact my supervisor, who was more than willing to help with her own advice or vision with which to guide me.
The advice that I would give to the next intern who works with SeaLifeRipple is the following; “Take it easy; there is no pressure to overwork or overthink something. If there are any issues that you find while working on an assignment, the supervisor will be more than willing to help you with it, as should your teachers or peers.”
Given that I had no formal training with video editing or videography to any degree before I began with the Communications program, I felt there was definitely a solid amount of preparation that I received for my internship. The major influences that I can cite from Delaware Tech would have to be my Composition teacher from the fall semester of 2022, who helped me understand the flow of a sentence as well as the general structure to make a point, my Videography teachers from the spring and fall semesters of 2019, who helped me understand the beats and rhythms of a video, as well as the effect that different styles of lighting can have on a scene, and my Graphics and Design teacher from the fall semester of 2018, who has been a helpful source of information and guidance since day one. Given that there were a few semesters in the middle of my time in Delaware Tech where I did not attend, I was afraid that what I had learned had left my memory. However, given that the teachers had been so impassioned with their teaching in the classes, I was able to recall and surprise not only the teachers that I returned to but myself with all the knowledge I was able to retain.
When all is said and done, should I decide to work within my degree, I would like to become a freelance photographer and videographer. I would like to create ads for small local companies, such as hardware stores and small restaurants, so it would be best that I make a solid rapport with said local businesses so that I can start on building my reputation. Overall, I would like to fish out my next client and make for them what I can for a price that will work for the both of us.
