Video
The following are examples of my professional work in video. I have experience filming using professional quality cameras, lighting, and sound equipment, and am proficient at editing within Adobe Premiere.
Iowa Writers’ House
The Power of Story
With the release of the third volume of the We the Interwoven book series upset by COVID-19, the team at the Iowa Writers’ House and I wanted to find a way to celebrate the publication with each of the writers, even without in person readings at bookstores and libraries. Sharing stories is a key way to connect with others, even if we can't be physically together. In lieu of in person readings, I filmed and edited a video series where each writer (who was open to recording) read their pieces aloud and answered questions about their writing process, experiences working on the anthology, and what they hope readers take away from the book.
Traverse by Megan
As a freelance producer, I filmed and edited videos for a series on the YouTube channel Traverse by Megan. These videos include a combination of confessionals, tutorials, and montage footage. In addition to fulfilling roles behind the camera, I collaborated with Megan on scripted sections and overall shoot planning.
Assorted Professional Work
Earthwords Staff Applications
As a reminder for the 2020-2021 editorial board applications of the literary magazine Earthwords, I created this short video to be posted on the Instagram and Facebook pages for the magazine.
She Kills Monsters: Virtual Realms
As they transitioned to a virtual season, I worked with First Stage Children’s Theater as the digital animation coordinator for the Dungeons & Dragons centered show, She Kills Monsters: Virtual Realms. I designed character models and animations in collaboration with the rest of the production team to create a feature-length show. Collaborating with the team throughout the rehearsal and production processes to integrate the animations was an exciting experience of adapting live theater into video.
The play originally premiered on Broadway on Demand, and a gallery of my original designs are available to view here.
