Elliot Jackson
For almost 20 years I have had the opportunity to be involved in award-winning production through: video editing, animation, videography, color grading, and sound design.
There is something amazing to me about taking all sorts of various individual elements (b-roll, interviews, music, graphics) and creating a compelling, meaningful piece of art. Because that's what video production is, an art. Sure, there are technical aspects but the real key is creating emotion in every individual viewer.
And although the awards are fun, creating emotion has been the driver during my time editing in the world of marketing, freelance projects and in television news. Whether it is capturing the hope of the local community with WTMJ-4, telling the importance of farming tradition and sustainability with Corteva Agriscience or ensuring young women have the same access to needed tools for success with the Milwaukee Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee, every story is worth being told. And I cannot wait to tell it.
