In addition to my current work with Reamplify Design and my graduate work with CICS, I’ve worked on some interesting projects. Here’s a partial list:
I spent the summer of 2009 at Lensrentals.com as an intern (their first ever, actually). I made a bunch of videos, got to work with all sorts of lenses and cameras, and edited hundreds of pages of copy. I also developed a company style guide for the website and made some mockups for a website redesign.
I spent Fall 2010 studying abroad in Klaipeda, Lithuania at LCC International University. While there, I produced 3 videos for the study abroad program to use for promotional pieces, 11 videos for a Talent Night event, and 3 promotional videos for Lithuanian recruitment. The video above is a compilation of the semester’s projects.
My final project for Multi-Camera Live Production class was Iron Chef Taylor.
While at Taylor, I had the opportunity to work for Envision Productions as a producer. This involved producing and directing events like Chapel, as well as doing various jobs, like Jib Operator, for other events.
