Faculty TV producer wins Northern California Emmy | |||||||
June 9, 2003 Oprah Winfrey and Jennifer Aniston weren't on hand, but Hamid Khani, associate professor of broadcast and electronic communication arts, recently joined the ranks of Emmy winners at the 32nd annual Northern California Area Emmy Awards. Khani,
who teaches video production and media aesthetics, won for "Adventures in
Science and Art," a children's series he directed and produced for Peninsula
TV. The program features children (left) using science and arts to solve
problems.
The awards, the local version of the national accolades, recognize outstanding
television work in 50 categories ranging from news programs and documentaries
to audio production and graphic design.
Out of 622 entries, a total of 59 awards were awarded during the ceremony,
held last month at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco.
Emmy night was not the first time Khani's work has been recognized. In
April two of his other recent videos -- a recycling tutorial for children
and a promotional piece -- won awards of excellence from the Broadcast
Education Association, the leading professional organization for broadcast
instructors.
Khani (left) earned bachelor's and master's degrees in radio and television
from SFSU before joining the faculty in 1984.
Two other SFSU alumni were also among this year's Northern California
Area Emmy recipients. Jim Lynch (BA, radio and television), of Fox
Sports Net, was honored for sports direction. Meteorologist Joel Bartlett
(MBA), of KGO-TV, Channel 7,
won the award for on-camera weathercasting.
The Northern California Area Emmy Awards are presented by the Northern
California chapter of the National Television Academy. -- Public Affairs Student Writer
