FB Uniform Reveal- Week 1 vs Liberty
Our 2026 season opener against Liberty reignited the "Battle of the Blue Ridge," making it the perfect opportunity to build something around the mountains that define both the rivalry and this region.
Coming off of our 2025 College Football Playoff appearance, JMU's campus and the entire Harrisonburg Community was buzzing with excitement and anticipation of the new season. From an editing standpoint, I wanted to include more quick cuts and suspension around the uniform, along with some fun effects and sound design elements. Being able to help kick off a new season of JMU Football with a project that connected the team's identity, the rivalry, and the excitement around campus made this one especially meaningful to me.

Recap- Week 3 vs SDSU
While our team and part of the creative staff traveled to San Diego for our Week 3 matchup against SDSU, I stayed in Harrisonburg to lead live editing and turn around content for our social team. Working across a three-hour time difference with a 10:15 p.m. ET kickoff, I produced 12 in-game pieces of content, each delivered within 15 minutes of capture, and edited this game recap within 15 hours of the final play. This video was also repurposed and showed on our Videoboard at our next home football game to a sold-out stadium to highlight the teams success out West.

Recap- Week 4 vs Old dominion
For the Royal Rivalry recap, there was a lot of pressure to make this game feel as big as it was. With this also being the game that JMU opened Sun Belt play, the recap needed to capture the energy of the night while still telling the story of the game. JMU came out firing in the first half, but the pace and momentum shifted after halftime, which made finding the right balance in this edit super important. I leaned into the intensity of the rivalry and the strongest moments from the game while building the recap around that shift, ultimately highlighting a 46-20 JMU win in Norfolk.
