Motion Graphics & Video
During ’23-’24 I acted as interim Videographer for SIUE. During the establishment of the digital style guide, I also developed assets and styles to be used through all of the university’s videos. Below are a variety of project samples I worked on that were distributed through a variety of platforms. I also operated multiple YouTube and social media accounts that required video editing, graphics, and filming. Below is a list of some of the tools and tasks I utilized for video production.
• Motion Graphics
• Editing

• Template & Branding Development
• Software: Adobe Premiere, After Effects, Photoshop, Final Cut, Audition
• Cameras: Sony a7, Canon Camcorders, DJI Mini 3 Pro
One Day, One SIUE campaign
One Day, One SIUE is a major fundraising event for the university. The Foundations department commissioned me to develop their creative that would be used across all the campaign’s assets. The video was produced using footage from the previous year’s event. I edited it using Adobe Premiere and the motion graphics were handled in After Effects. The primary assets were created in Adobe Illustrator. You can view other elements from the campaign in the main design section.
Event Promo videos
Event promos were done for SIUE to share across social platforms. From commencement to filming behind the scenes at NASCAR, I had to capture events and then edit them together quickly to share online right as the events concluded. I filmed with a Sony a7 III & IV camera on a DJI Ronin gimbal. Videos are edited in Adobe Premiere.
SIUE Department Promos
Department promos were projects commissioned to me by various SIUE clients. The projects ranged from editing pre-filmed footage to filming to full motion graphics. For ITC, the footage was filmed prior and I had to edit it and develop motion graphics for the project. Credit for Prior Learned was a fully animated project that was created with a combination of After Effects and Adobe Animate. URCA was produced and filmed by me and my intern and I edited and handled the editing as well as motion graphics. Lastly, I filmed the “Always a Cougar” promo with a Sony a7 and edited it in Premiere.
SIUE Animated Email Headers
These projects are animated email headers I produced for SIUE’s communications. Often produced with After Effects and Photoshop to create something interesting as well as small in file size. The final output would be an infinite looping GIF however, for your ease of viewing the following are presented as video files. These files were sometimes adapted to be used on digital signs around campus.
Social Media Reels
Below is a selection of samples used in promotions, ranging from digital signs to Instagram & youtube vertical shorts. The first is a digital sign that promotes SIUE to prospective students in other regions. Next was a social media contest for the CMSGT4 social media pages. The last two were car promos for social media accounts. Tools utilized in these projects include: Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects, Adobe Premiere, Capcut, DJI Mini 3 Pro, and DJI Osmo Gimbal.
