I created a social media personality revolving around a stick figure goblin that makes Dungeons and Dragons videos. I write scripts, gather footage, record audio, and edit for all of my videos. Currently I have amassed over fifty thousand followers on TikTok, and over a million likes. I have also been sponsored and have worked with a company to produce a video that showcased some of their product.

Students were assigned groups where we needed to work together and produce a short film without the use of dialogue. During this process I gained experience in much of the film making process including, assisting with script writing, set design, and recording audio. As editor of the group, I organized footage into their appropriate bins, added sound effects/music, mixed audio, re-colored footage, and was responsible for the overall final cut of the film.

Groups were tasked with choosing a non-profit organization to improve their social media presence. We choose to make a mock TikTok account for The Nature Conservancy, with an emphasis on trying to use Gen Z humor to get more youth involved. I researched trending tags, trending sounds, optimal times to post, and created four videos for this account. I organized shoot days, recorded my own footage, and edited them into their final cut.
