Ionic Liquids
Watch this video and you'll understand why I took it upon myself to produce it and get it out there for the world to see. This video went live on YouTube in February, 2011. As of November 2011, it had garnered nearly 11,000 views on two different YouTube channels. Within two weeks of this video being posted, Dr. Paul Painter (you can find him in my Faculty Video section) had been contacted by companies in Canada, India, and across the United States.
On December 1, 2011, I asked Dr. Painter what benefits he's seen in the past ten months that have come as a direct result of the video; his response, "Nearly everything." This includes being contacted by: 1 U.S. oil and gas company; 1 Utah oil sands company; 2 Canadian companies; various companies whose work creates drill cuttings; 1 company willing to offer supplies, and 5 companies willing to give money to further research. (Due to non-disclosure agreements, these companies cannot be named.).

In 2007 Materials Science and Engineering began the effort of creating a new culture of safety within the department. A group of faculty, staff, and students were brought together to create the Materials Safety Awareness Organization (MSAO). One goal of the MSAO was to create a video about laboratory safety. Generally these types of instructional videos can be pretty dry, so we wanted to make our video educational and fun. Since it was posted to YouTube in September, 2011, the video has been a hit with researchers in the department, across the University, and in industry.Documentary, Multimedia, Video Arts2011 -
I need to be clear here...I did not produce, shoot, or edit this video. It was outsourced to my friend and video mentor, Mike Podolski at Blackbird Media Group, Inc., State College, PA. My role was primarily a project manager, as well as a quasi producer/director, production assistant, liaison, and part-time actor (that's me at the gas pump). When Mike didn't have an assistant, I stood in. I assisted with everything from sound and lighting to just standing out of the way. The reason I put this in my portfolio? I learned from Mike throughout the entire production of this video, and this project was the impetus of my interest in video production.Multimedia, Production, Video Arts2011 -
These videos were created to introduce our faculty and their research to the world. Our faculty videos discuss students, research, our department, and Penn State. Faculty members converse about these topics in a relaxed, documentary-style format where their personality and philosophies may influence potential students.
I handle every aspect of video production on my own. I schedule shoot dates with faculty, staff and students; I shoot all A-roll and B-roll footage; I edit video to create a story line, then upon approval of the story line, I add B-roll and sound, and finalize for approval from the Office of Marketing at Penn State. After final approval, I distribute...primarily via YouTube.Multimedia, Production, Video Arts2011
