Trained as a Broadcast Director, I have directed countless hours of newscasts. I have also learned how to utilize our old Ross Vision and new Sony XVS-G1 board to create high-quality broadcasts. In the video below, I built the full-screen boxes and the monitor boxes in the Sony board with the capability of smooth motion. More from NewsWest 9…

After joining the Production Team in September 2020, I was given the role of principle switcher for services and recordings. The duties of this include directing camera operators, operating the video switcher, and coordinating with those in the sanctuary to provide a smooth production for those watching online and the projection monitors in the sanctuary. Below is an example of my work (the first 20 or so minutes):
Texas student television
Having been Assistant Sports Director for two terms and Sports Director for another two terms at Texas Student Television, I have had the opportunity to produce and direct for over two years. Here are some samples from those shows:
Producer/Director: TSTV Gameday
I have produced and directed six productions of TSTV Gameday, a live sports broadcast, for Texas Student Television from October 2018 to November 2019, with more to come in Spring 2020 (Nope. Thanks, Covid). Responsibilities included but were not limited to contacting club teams to negotiate games to air, deciding on-air personnel, working with them to create a coherent pregame show. I introduced a new graphics package for the productions, which included a score bug, lower third templates, and goal animations, among other animations, made using Adobe After Effects and Photoshop. I also opened the scope of the games broadcast to not just University of Texas club sports, but to amateur sports in the Austin area, coming Spring 2020 (again: thanks, Covid).
ASsociate Producer/Director: 1-0 Sports
I helped create and produce the first season of the 1-0 Sports Show, a morning sports talk show, for Texas Student Television every week from August to November 2019, with more to come in Spring 2020. Responsibilities included but were not limited to contacting sports editors and writers from college and professional newspapers, assisting the producer with the rundown and outline, and creating content. I also direct the show part-time when the director is unavailable. I created a new graphics package for the show from scratch, which included a full-screen graphic template, lower third templates, and an overlay transition, made using Adobe After Effects and Photoshop. I woke up at 6am or earlier every Friday morning for this show.
Producer/Director: College Crossfire
I produced and directed two seasons of College Crossfire, a sports debate show, for Texas Student Television from January to December of 2018. Responsibilities included but were not limited to deciding on questions for each block of the show, finding panelists to be on the show, and managing the production of the content to be aired on the show. I have introduced a new graphics package for the show, which included a corner bug, lower third template, and an overlay transition, made using Adobe After Effects. I also changed the style of the opening block to allow for more cross-talk and debate among the panelists.
AsSociate Producer/Director: Texas Countdown
I helped create and produce the first episode of Texas Countdown, a Gameday-style sports show previewing the Texas-TCU football game on Oct 26, for Texas Student Television, with the next episode to come on Dec 6. Responsibilities included but were not limited to arranging and organizing the set-up of equipment at the location of the shoot, coordinating with staff and on-air personnel to create a seamless production, assisting the producer with the rundown and outline, and directing the hour-long production. I created a new graphics package and title design for the show from scratch, which included a full-screen graphic template and lower third templates made using Photoshop.
