"Be There" | OU WBB 22-23 Conference Scene Setter
One of my favorite projects. I carried this through every step of production, from storyboarding to shooting and editing. Good sound design, especially in the beginning, was crucial to give this video a sense of gravity and importance.
This video is special to me because of its symbolism. A lot of times women's basketball is not granted the attention it deserves, which is why I chose the imagery of an unplugged TV. Every bit of attention they've claimed, they have had to earn through their passion and drive to compete. They had to make their own way.
2023 NCAA WCWS Finals Scene Setter
I served as the editor for this video and assisted with filming b-roll of the NCAA trophy. I used audio from the press conferences to craft a narrative about the journey these two teams have taken. The key here was to give them an equal amount of attention, pitting them head-to-head as the two best teams in softball.
Oklahoma Clinches the Big 12 Championship | OU WBB Recap
I managed to turn around this edit in less than 24 hours after the game, so that it could be posted the following evening. I filmed this game as well, alongside 3 other shooters. We had coordinated everyone's objective and positioning so that we would all be prepared. I was tasked with roaming the floor, capturing plays, b-roll and crowd atmosphere. When we won the game, I ran out onto the court with my camera on a gimbal.
I got to experiment with some asymmetrical storytelling here, using audio from a past press conference (starts at 3:10) to recalibrate what it truly means for fans to come watch this team, right before transitioning to the recap's climax.
It's more than a game. More than a rivalry. More than a championship.
50th Anniversary Promo | OU Women's Basketball
It was an honor to go through and compile some of the greatest moments in this program's history! I used an asymmetrical structure, bouncing back between moments from the past and present, to tie a cohesive thread throughout the history of the program. It all blends together to tell a story.
I filmed the introduction portion in the archive room on my own. I got the idea for the concept because I had stumbled upon boxes of old photo albums and yearbooks in there one day.
The Clemson Comeback | Softball Super Regionals Game 2 Recap
I really appreciated the storytelling I got to put on display when I edited this recap, as I had to emphasize how down-to-the-wire this game truly was.
The videography was truly a team effort. There was coverage from multiple shooters (myself and others) and the broadcast feed, making this very visually comprehensive of the atmosphere and structure of the game.
Double Overtime Stunner against WVU | OU WBB Recap
It's a beautiful thing to watch the crowd and the team play off of each other's energy. And for it to happen in a Play4Kay game makes it extra special!
After a good win, one part of the content plan at OU was generally to make a recap and release it on social media 1-3 days afterward. I had to dig through the broadcast melt for audio calls to line up with key plays of the game.
Red River Showdown Scene Setter | OU Women's Basketball
I had the pleasure of diving into the archives to craft this clash between past and present for one of the best rivalries in sports. It was important to emphasize the role of the crowd in these games, and how they can help turn the tide in their team's favor.
Legacy: Senior Night Scene Setter | OU Women's Basketball
I served as editor and partial videographer for this piece. It was written by Josh Poteet and voiced by Toby Rowland, the voice of the Sooners. It was important to go all out to honor the greatest trio of players in OU women's hoops history.
Nydia Lampkin Senior Night Tribute | OU Women's Basketball
A sentimental video played on the big screen during the Senior Night ceremony for Nydia Lampkin. It shows her contributions to the team, not just as a player, but as a person. It was important to let her personality shine through, as well as her competitiveness.
Taylor Robertson: Player of the Year | OU Women's Basketball
This was made as part of a campaign to promote Taylor Robertson to be voted for Big 12 Player of the Year. The goal was to emphasize her versatility and skill as a player, as well as the accolades she has racked up throughout her career.
OU v FSU Game 2 Recap (Editor) | Softball WCWS
I served as a video editor on game days for the WCWS, and a part of that task was building recaps as the games were going and having them ready to post on social media 15-30 minutes after the games ended in order to capitalize on engagements. I would be adding soundbites from the broadcast and the best clips from our shooters whenever they routinely ran their cards up to the press box for me to pull footage off.
