Alantana Productions partner of Shakespeare at the Bury put on the great Shakespearean comedy of Much Ado About Nothing set in 1920s England directly after WWI. This large scale production was a year long project that culminated in a Multicam video and a live performance. We built a three stage set that contained a garden, bedroom, and dining room. It was massive production design undertaking to transform the studio into an old English Manor house.
Over last summer, before my excapades in Oxford, I interned at Big Sky Digital Media under Chip Swetnam. It was a time of studying skills and stepping up as a media professional. I found most of my time editing things from demo reels to business videos to derby interviews. It was a deep moment of learning how to professionally edit and to come in everyday for an extended period of time.
So as you have noticed if you follow our partners, Shakespeare at the Bury, you know by now that we helped partner to produce Henry V.

The Highbridge Film Festival…
The Big Moment…
More than four years in the making, my goal upon first realizing at fourteen that my dream college had a film festival was to run the show. Freshman year, I had been mentored by the senior that ran it in 2013. Two years of volunteering. Five years of attending. Junior year of college, I had made it. Leader of the Hughes team. In charge of the show, I went to work. Everything from marking out VIP seating, getting and directing talent, coordinating with our decor and technical operators, making sure the limo was ready, the red tape was up, and finally getting the film reel.
The Asbury film reel was my biggest project from day one. I was determined to make our university’s film festival more than just a college display of work. It was going to be the whole package. The student Oscars, the grand performance and what better way to show the awards off than to have a giant 7ft metal figure of Asbury’s own awards, a film reel. After calling many places and coordinating with Dr. Jim Owens, Dean of the Media Communications department at Asbury, he finally found someone willing to make the reel. Things got rolling and finally the day arrived when people entered the Hughes auditorium saw the lights and the glamor, but probably the most special, at least to me, was the fantastical giant film reel lit up on the stage that night.
