Video Work
As the Director of Visual Media at Luther College, I have project managed hundreds of videos produced by student workers, as well as making a number of videos myself. Projects I have worked on have ranged from short form documentaries, to aerial drone films, expository videos about Luther College, and short video ads for YouTube and social media.
