Penn State
Philharmonic Orchestra
2024 was the 50th anniversary of Penn State's Eisenhower Auditorium. In Spring, 2025, the Center for the Performing Arts at Penn State celebrated by featuring the Penn State Philharmonic Orchestra performing Beethoven's 9th Symphony, the inaugural performance in Eisenhower Auditorium in 1974.
This video was created to market the performance as well as celebrate Maestro Gerardo Edelstein's 25th anniversary teaching at Penn State.
Fundraising
This non-profit freelance video project was recorded as a message to donors and shared at a dinner honoring those donors.
I worked with Trellis for Tomorrow to create a story that shared important value propositions created by their donations. After a plan and schedule were created, I recorded all footage and interviews, edited the story line, and added music that completed the atmosphere of the message.
Sharing success
This is one of a series of video created to share how particular teams had consistently high satisfaction ratings from team members. Each team shared their culture and best practices to keep morale high.
My role was to plan, shoot, edit, and manage the video in its entirety.
Supporting diversity
My role in creating this video was to act as director, shooter, and editor. I helped the executive in the video decide how to tell a story of diversity to 1,500 employees, and edited the footage to reflect the spirit of the executives' dedication to an inclusive culture.
B-roll footage wasn't available, so photos from a recent pride march were used to successfully communicate commitment to a safe work environment.
