Texas A&M visualization student Tim Weaver offered a candid peek into graduate student life at Texas A&M in a video that placed first in a multimedia competition sponsored last spring by the university's Office of Graduate Studies.
Weaver, who completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Texas, garnered $3000 for his winning video "Graduate Life." The video poked fun at the filmmaker's long-horned heritage and featured his fellow "Vizzers," or students in the Master of Science in Visualization Science program, as well as other current and former Texas A&M graduate students discussing there studies, projects and, of course, Aggie graduate life.
Two other Vizzers, Igor Kraguljac and Ozgur Gonen, received honorable mention for their contest entries.
The competition's top three videos can be viewed on the Office of Graduate Studies website:
