Jonathan Law is broadcasting its annual Lawmas videos on Eagle News next week. Every year, the Broadcast Journalism class makes a series of entertaining, Lawmas-related segments to air during the days leading up to Christmas break. Mr. Kulenych is the Broadcast Journalism teacher at Law. Staff Reporter Eva Carroll sat down with Kulenych to learn more about the upcoming special. 

Eva Carroll: What are the Lawmas Specials you have planned for this Christmas season?

Mr. K.: Each year, we produce three videos to celebrate the Lawmas season and this year will be no different. We are excited to debut this year’s rendition of “Twas The Night Before Lawmas,” a lip dub video, and a video that asks the Law community what they want for Lawmas this year.

EC: What is your favorite segment out of those planned for this year’s Lawmas special? Why?

MK: “Twas The Night Before Lawmas” is so much fun to write and produce each year. It’s a whole-class effort and we try to make it as funny and heart-warming as possible. This year’s “Santa” is a fun one, so people will have to tune in and see how that person saves Lawmas.

EC: Why do you do annual Lawmas Specials on Eagle Eye News?

MK: Law is a special place every day, but especially around the holidays. The Law family is there for one another and Lawmas is just another way to celebrate that togetherness and to have some fun at the same time.

EC: How are these segments going to be different than last year’s segments?

MK: Each year we pick a different faculty member to be the “Santa” in our “Twas The Night Before Lawmas” video. Last year, Mr. Sarullo was “Santa” and we’ve also done editions with Mr. Thompson and Mr. Ragaini. This year’s “Santa” means a lot to our school – and they don’t mind laughing at themselves a little bit which helped. The kids who produced the lip dub video did an amazing job as well – there are some pretty hilarious scenes and cameos in there.

EC: How do students in Broadcast Journalism film/prepare for the Lawmas Specials?

MK: As a class, the Broadcast students write the script for the video and then they go out and film and edit it. It usually takes about a week to produce each video and this year’s process went pretty smoothly. Be sure to tune in to Eagle Eye News and YouTube every day next week and check them out.
