June 30, 2022 — The National Academy of Arts and Sciences New York Chapter announced the list of 2022 Emmy® nominees and Islip.TV / The National Video Journalist Network (NVJN) got two nods.
The two stories that stood out above the rest were:
CATEGORY: EDUCATION/SCHOOLS - NEWS (NO PRODUCTION TIME LIMIT)
TITLE: "Visualizing Resistance - Animating the Story of The First Slave Rebellion in The New World"
1521, just 29 years after Columbus' first voyage and almost 100 years before African slaves were brought to the 13 colonies - the first documented Slave Rebellion in the New World took place in the Island of Hispañiola. To commemorate the 500th anniversary of this event, The Dominican Studies Institute partnered with City College's Electronic Design + Multimedia department to bring this historic letter to the Spanish Crown to life. Our cameras followed the class for a semester.
Organized by: CUNY Dominican Studies Institute, CUNY City College Electronic Design and Multimedia
The second story was part of the 2021 TEENYS virtual celebration of the performing arts by high school theater students in the Town of Islip. Due to COVID limitations, Brentwood High School students did not put on any shows. In order to give seniors one moment in the spotlight, the Islip Arts Council arranged for the students to perform one number just for our cameras.
