Position: Vice President of Operations, Villanova Television (VTV)
Description: In November 2018, I had the honor of leading a team in filming and editing a video commemorating the 30th anniversary of the largest student-run Special Olympics event in the world. Our team recorded Opening Ceremonies, various athletic events, Olympic Town, and awards ceremonies over the course of Friday and Saturday, and we ensured completion of the edited video by Sunday, the end of Special Olympics weekend. The video below was presented to thousands of athletes, coaches, and volunteers at the 2018 Fall Fest Closing Ceremonies.
With such quick turnaround, there were a lot of moving parts in terms of building filming teams, coordinating a filming schedule, selecting and blending music for the audio track, dumping footage as it was collected throughout the weekend, and sticking to an editing schedule to ensure the video’s completion in time. It was sincerely such a joy to see the athletes’ faces light up and to hear them cheer for their teammates on the big screen at Closing Ceremonies. It made the lack of sleep that weekend more than worth it!
