Back in February I along with quite a few others was asked to work on a click-clack style baseball promo for Thunder Vision Television over at Lake Region High School, where I’m constantly at in my free time helping David Sparling and his students create great videos.

For this video I was Director of Photography, Shooter, and Original Editor.

This video in March was entered into the annual Polk County Video Awards. Among videos from every other K-12 school in the county. Among these several commercials were submitted under the High School sub-category of Best Commercial. Not expecting to win, we were one of the finalist and called down to the front with another school. For this category there is a Peoples Choice and Judges Choice Awards. We did not get the Peoples Choice, however we did receive the Judges Award which is the main one that counted. We accepted and all of us from TVTV was on stage in from of 4k people and broadcasted live, two students spoke and thankfully did mention my name as I stood next to them on stage. Glad to get thanks for a project I’ve done and did a lot on.

You can view the video below :)

Notice: For legal reasons it is to note that this video was not created 100% by myself and did require the help of many others, most of these are listed within the videos' credits.
