Videos and Graphics
Several video samples that I mainly worked on when having my internship with Cocoa Creative Agency, a small company that works on a variety of digitally based media. My main work for the company was editing videos and graphics, my own self projects that I worked on were for Iowa Farms and Jewels Academy. I also helped on other video projects by giving input on how a certain video could be edited, even being asked to implement graphics into videos and stream archives. All the videos were reviewed and would be given input on how the video could be improved, it was never one person but a variety of people helping to prepare any piece of media for the recipient.
Jewels Academy Short Promotional Clip
Using Adobe After Effects, I helped create this short 30-second video for Jewels Academy. For the project, I was given b-roll and other photos that Jewels Academy provided, being left to me to implement them for the video that someone had created beforehand. I listed all the details including dates, times, locations, and specific photos that were demanded in each video. I had to go back and tweak various graphics and photos to make sure the b-roll and text didn’t repeat and faded out at proper times. It was also demanded to not have music in the background with it being decided at a later date.
Jewels Academy Virtual Fundraiser
A promotional clip made For Jewels Academy made in 2021, an educational institute that helps promote STEM learning for young girls and creative thinkers in the industry. I worked on several videos for Jewels Academy, being given access to film and video clips to place together for the fundraiser event.
For certain shots or gaps of silence or thinking in the interview or speakers conference, I used Premeier Pro to fade out clips in a way that wouldn’t be jarring for the audience and flowed into their next discussion point. This video is one small section of a large online stream to create for the Academy.
Ted x Des Moines
I worked with another editor from Cocoa Creative Agency for the Des Moines Ted Talk video with him doing the bulk of the editing while I was given the logo to help implement it into a premade graphic for the video. Details for the graphic were to be very short and simplistic, needing approval and a good amount of time to render it in Adobe After Effects.
United States Graphic
A graphic for a video story covering the issues of marijuana legalization in the United States and problems with African American imprisonment. For this specific video, I was only asked to make three graphics using the data we were already given for the project. All three graphics were U.S. maps they could freely use for the video when or if needed.
