The last year and a half has been a constant churning of life’s ocean waves when set on a giant spin cycle. Between COVID and finishing up my master’s degree, I barely have an internal clock or a solid sense of time (as if I had one in the first place). But now things are finally getting back to normal (well, as normal as post-graduation adult life can get), and therefore it’s probably worth giving a life update.
Blood Drive Highlight Video (Pensacola Christian College)
While working in the video advertising department at PCC, I got a chance to create the highlight promotional video for this semester’s blood drive. This year’s would be extra tricky, since we had to be extra conscious of social distancing and other COVID mandates, and that we not show anything that would contradict the policies the college had set in place. This year I wanted to go against the norm and make the blood drive look more “fun” than “inspirational.” In the past, the blood drive videos often had slow, thoughtful music with careful camera angles. Instead, I wanted to capitalize on any happiness I could scrounge up during this depressing COVID-y year, so I picked a happy song and focused on as much smiling and joy as possible.

Christmas Lights 2020 (Pensacola Christian College)
Due to the pandemic, PCC couldn’t have their annual Christmas Lights celebration, so our video team was tasked to create a series of music videos similar to the Mary Did You Know music video I helped with several years ago. I was able to help on the set of a number of these music videos as a PA, keeping track of each scene, helping set up and tear down equipment, prepping the set, and creating lights and effects during filming.

College Days Promo (Pensacola Christian College)
I created this promotional edit for upcoming College Days events at Pensacola Christian College. While I didn’t shoot the original footage, I had a lot of fun editing the sequences together, choosing the music, and even writing the script.
Eagle Mania 2019 Promo
I was able to create this highlight video for PCC’s Eagle Mania: a pep rally that kicks off much of the sports season every year. I’d always wanted to edit one of these events, but as a student worker, my work schedules were always shifting and changing, but this year I finally was able to put one together. I ended up being really satisfied with it. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ybAHtVMZV4&w=560&h=315]
Eagle Pride Tailgate 2018
I was able to help produce this event highlight for Pensacola Christian College’s Eagle Tailgate party. While I didn’t do the edit on this one, I took a large number of the camera shots that were used. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFXue_vyiSM&w=560&h=315]
