WILLIAMSON COSMETIC CENTER (2016)

I briefly worked for a Baton Rouge media startup called The ProGap in the spring of 2016, serving as a production assistant and video editor. I helped develop a pilot about disability services, as well as shooting an instructional video at a prominent cosmetology center.

However, the flagship project for The ProGap is “Library Roadshow,” a monthly magazine program for my former employer. The public-access show highlights present and future events within the East Baton Rouge Parish Library system—EBRPL—while also advocating for childhood and adult literacy programs, and offering book and movie recommendations.

The above package aired as part of the May 2016 broadcast, in addition to me operating camera #2 for the interview with EBRPL children’s coordinator Pabby Arnold around nine minutes in.

"Library Roadshow" - June 2016

I assumed the majority of production responsibilities for this episode, rolling cameras and counting down the talent (floor direction). I also edited the package four minutes in, about the large-scale renovations at the Bluebonnet branch, the site of my very first job.
