A DAY ON THE RIVER

Producer, Director, Camera & Editor


This was a personal project I did to challenge myself on a beautiful Saturday afternoon in San Marcos, TX. The goal was to capture an early afternoon of kayaking, and edit and post the video the same day. Mission accomplished.


JOIN THE PARTY

Client: Career Services, Texas State University
Producer, Director, Camera, Editor & Colorist


We produced a series of videos to help the Texas State Career Services Department with four challenges.

  1. Students had trouble finding their office

  2. Students who have never visited Career Services perceived the office as “boring” and “stuffy”.

  3. Majority of students were not aware of their Career Closet services.

With strategically displaying this videos on campus signage, as well as playing at freshman orientations, we were able to successfully solve their challenges.
