Web Video Intro

Here's what I've been working on the last 2 days. This is a header video that (hopefully) will be put before all the webvideos we have on our newsroom site. The video will set an identity indicating the video is from BYU Hawaii, especially if these videos are reached from outside links and not our newsroom site.

Since this is a video is a "look and feel" piece, it will likely go through an approval process from several people. This could result in a number of changes.

Harmony with Aloha

One of the first projects that I was assigned to was the BYU Hawaii choir tour in China. There are many products of this project. The first was an audio cd which featured all the songs the choir sang on their tour in China and Mongolia. I was asked to create the CD cover and label. What you see is the finished product. It was printed on hundreds of CDs and distributed.

I have also been involved in making motion graphics for the video documentary. If you click here, you can see a segment of what I produced. It is an animated title sequence. It starts just over 1/3 of the way through the clip and is the only animation, so its easy to pick out. I also made some lower third titles that show the names of people as they are interviewed for this film. I will probably show these later when the show is finished.

Devotional Attitude

This was one of my first projects at BYU Hawaii. I was asked to create an entire campaign for promoting devotionals, which kind of expanded into just promotion of devotion.

After researched I narrowed down the reasons to attend devotionals into 3 main categories: Spiritual, community, and leadership. I talked with Bill Wallace, known as Uncle Bill, and he helped me select some symbols to represent the three themes. I didn't do much with this for a while, until my boss, Duane, came and said one day at about 3, "I need poster designs to show at Presidents council tomorrow".

So I whipped these up in a few hours. They haven't made it to print, but the Hawaiian theme will likely be kept. Someone else is doing most of the project now.
