Athletic Equipment Product Shoot

by


Back in June, I was hired by UCS Spirit for a fun product shoot involving some incredible National and Olympic athletes. UCS wanted to update their catalog with some of their new and improved products and wanted to keep to the high-key set-up that they had used in the past. I worked with their art director to come up with a lighting scheme that would really show off the sculptured physique of these athletes without being too harsh. We were looking for a happy medium between Continue reading →

Video Marketing for PassportParking

by

Fellow videographer Ben Premeaux reached out to me to help him edit a video for this fantastic start-up company called PassportParking. Passport is a software development company based in Charlotte specializing in Mobile Pay solutions to make the transit and parking process more convenient. Since it’s start in 2010, the company has grown substantially, branching out to multiple cities across North America. Passport decided to utilize video to help showcase their company to future recruits. Video can be such a great tool for marketing a company if done correctly. They were interested in a 2-3 minute video for their website, wanted upbeat music that flowed well with their story, and an edit that inspired people to come work for them.

Ben did a great job conducting interviews and shooting a wide array of footage to help build their story. After organizing all the footage, I figured out the main points I wanted to convey in the video: 1) explain Passport as a company, 2) show off the unique culture of their work environment, 3) discuss what Charlotte has to offer to out-of-town recruits, and 4) discuss what kind of people their looking for. It was a lot to convey in 2-3 minutes, but that’s where good, tight editing comes in.

Ben and PassportParking ended up loving the edit. I think it really does a great job of showing the uniqueness of their company and describe what they have to offer. I was considering applying to Passport myself after finishing the project. What a fun place to work!

They really wanted to create photos that illustrated the community feel of attending Queens and how connected the students are on campus. Continue reading →

Lake Norman H.S. Prom

by

Audio To Go Entertainment called on me to put together a fun promotional video for the Lake Norman High School prom they were hosting at the Oasis Shriners Temple. I absolutely love covering prom season for ATG because they seriously know how to put on a show. As soon as I walked into the venue, the light show they had blew me away. This was going to be FUN. Mixed in with great sound, two huge video displays and fog machines, this place felt like a high-class Vegas club. My prom was nothing like this; these kids clearly have no idea how good they have it.  Excited to share this video with you.
