Casting, Writing, Directing, Producing: Student-Led Tour of St. Louis
Potential students want to know what they can do in their adopted city; after all, college isn't just about academics. I was directed to produce a video for Saint Louis University that would showcase all that St. Louis has to offer 17-year-old students and ease their minds about living in a big city.
BeABilliken.com already featured a video of student soundbytes about the city, so I decided to let a single student take viewers to her favorite haunts. I chose Chelsey as the tour guide to tie in with her appearance in SLU's viewbook and for her knowledge and enthusiasm about her hometown. I then wrote a script that covered several important neighborhoods in depth and coordinated all logistics for shooting and consistency. With a local video production company, I then assembled the bits into a cohesive tour that's been lauded by many. This was my favorite project to work on at SLU.
