Lacrosse Intro

I produced the introduction video for the Syracuse Women's Lacrosse team - designed to hype up the JMA Wireless Dome right before game start. While my primary role was editing archival footage from the previous season, I also collaborated with Sam Whitney to capture additional shots. After hours of revisions, I delivered a well-received video that balanced player screen time and storytelling, with a memorable moment being the team's reaction when they first saw it.

Tasks

Produce the introduction video for the Syracuse Women's Lacrosse team in multiple formats for different screens in the JMA Wireless Dome. This would play right before game start and was critical to hype up the whole stadium.

Means

My main role was editing as the majority of the content being used was from the previous years. However, I was fortunate to work alongside Sam Whitney as an Assistant Director for additional shots used in this video for the women's team as well as for the men's.

Strategy

I sifted through all the footage in the archive of the past year's season looking for the best highlights in combination with commentary to push the story along. The challenge was to create an even distribution of on-time for each player while keeping the video exciting and engaging.

Execution

I spent countless hours crafting this video, going through multiple revisions with my managers and finally ended on a piece that was extremely well received. Some of my favorite moments from filming came pregame when I was fortunate to watch the team react to seeing my video.
