Who Am I?
My name is Nahid Sarangi, and I am 21 years old. I was born and have been raised most of my life in Edmonton, Alberta. I graduated from Harry Ainlay Composite High School in 2005 with Honors and an International Baccalaureate Diploma. I have a background in Computing Science from the University of Alberta, for the past two years I have been attending the Digital Media Design program at the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT). Although the program was designed to provide students with experiences and skills in a variety of multimedia fields, my focus has primarily been in the fields of web design and development. From this program I've been able to develop a wide range of skills in a variety of applications, including:
I also have a passion and personal hobby involving photography and video production. I especially enjoy experimenting with HDR Photography using a variety of programs. For examples of some of my work, check out the Photography and Video sections.

University of Alberta UNICEF

Although it never got uploaded to the actual client's server, I still take pride in the fact that I was able to successfully complete this site with all the necessary aspects that were requested by the client.
Technical Aspects: XHTML, CSS, Flash, Photoshop
I really enjoy photography as a hobby. My interest peaked even more once I took a photography course at NAIT. Ever since then, I try and take as many chances as I can to experiment and try out different photography methods, like High Dynamic Range (HDR) photos. Here are just a few examples of my work:

One Message And Counting
This was a film created as a final project during my first year at NAIT. My role in this production was mainly as the post-production editor.
Big Rock Beer Commercial - "Satisfying Beer"
This was a film created as a contest entry for Big Rock Beer by a group of students. My role in this production was also as the editor.
Fun With Paper - Stop Motion Animation
This was a simple and short stop motion animation that I created during my first year at NAIT, mainly dealing with the elements of stop motion animation.
I've always enjoyed capturing and playing with video, both in a personal and professional setting. I enjoy editing especially, since there are so many things you can to do a video in the post-production video process. Over the years, I've grown familiar with a few editing programs, including Final Cut Pro, iMovie, and After Effects.
