One Second a Day: Seniors Record the Lead-up to Commencement

Inspired by social media’s popular one-second-a-day videos, we reached out to some members of the Class of 2018 and a few underclassmen and asked them to record a single moment from each of the 60 days leading up to the 2018 Commencement ceremony. We stitched the clips together into a single minute-long video that captured milestones small and large—from a late March snowstorm to final exams, Senior Breakfast to Senior Week, and of course, the big day on Nickerson Field May 20. Take a look—but don’t blink or you could miss a day.

A special thank-you to Divya Advani (CGS’18, COM’20), Samantha Brooks (COM’18), Gabrielle Oates (CGS’16, COM’18), Kaitlyn Tran (SHA’18), and Jacob Wittenberg (COM’21) for their help.

    Student Video Producer

    Aaron Hwang (ENG’21) is majoring in mechanical engineering. He has been producing a growing number of videos for BU's various online media outlets since arriving as a freshman in 2017. After he first picked up a camera in 2013, his filmmaking has taken him to rainy Taipei streets, Tokyo shrines, Himalayan valleys, and all corners of Boston neighborhoods. His work spans dance concept videos, narrative short films, and most notably, advertisements, as the resident filmmaker for Sleek Machine. Suddenly remembering that he's an engineering student, Aaron has also been a mechanical systems leader for BU Racing and interned with independent pen manufacturer Schon DSGN.
