C. Huffins: A Study of Athlete As Actor

This project is being designed to analyze acting for the camera from
the perspective of viewing an Olympic athlete's interview as a
performance. The expectation is the students, in studying the athlete's
ability to give a relaxed, skillful interview, will be able to apply the
expertise learned from the athlete to their own performances.  Technical
considerations are such an important part of performing well in front of
the camera that this seemingly unconventional study might give students
new ideas.
