IU Athletics
From August 2022 to December 2024, I served as a Creative Video Intern for the Mark Cuban Center for Sports Media and Technology, the creative media department for Indiana University Athletics. I produced cinematic highlights, hype videos, features, and video board content using Sony FS5 and FX6 cameras, Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, WSC Sports, and APM Music to elevate Indiana Athletics' branding. Each semester, I collaborated closely with a team to shoot home and away games, creating content for the full season. I also contributed to several home football, men's basketball, and women's basketball games.
