Johns Hopkins University Commencement

Role: Creative Director, Video Producer, Video Editor

To celebrate the graduating class of 2021, Johns Hopkins University approached TAIT to submit an RFP to produce their Commencement. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, this was meant to be fully virtual, but ultimately became a hybrid ceremony featuring both in-person and online festivities. In my role I worked alongside the show producing team to execute on the creative we pitched.

Scope Breakdown

As the Video Producer, I oversaw a team of camera operators, editors, and designers providing feedback and creative direction to the team as we collaborated on producing 70+ pieces of content for Johns Hopkins annual commencement ceremony. I worked closely with our event production team to respond to and develop our RFP response participating in the Creative as well as pitching directly to the client. I then worked with the project team and the client to advance this ambitious project through pre, production, and post.

The final product was a 2 hour, 36 minute program and the culmination of six month’s work (3 months pre-production, 1.5 months production, and 1.5 months post-production). Ultimately, we delivered:

  • 15 Videos

  • 63 Title Cards, Lower Thirds, & Additional Graphics

  • 770 Pieces of UGC Content
