Yo, I'm Carter. Glad you're here.
Describing myself has always been a tough one. On one hand, I'm a video editor, but that doesn't fully cover it. Then I want to say cinematographer, which sounds better, but then comes the explanation. Then there's motion graphic designer, photographer, director...
One day I realized there's only one way to say all of that in one statement: I'm a storyteller.
That's what I am at the core. I want to tell stories, make people feel something, introduce them to people they'd never cross paths with, and maybe make them laugh or cry along the way. It's what I think about with every font choice, edit point, song selection, and shutter click.
By day, I'm the Senior Video Producer for Auburn University's Communications and Marketing department, where all official university video runs through our team. Our most public work is the university's yearly national TV advertisement. Before that I spent time at Clemson Athletics as Associate Director of Creative Solutions, overseeing all long-form documentary content and athlete storytelling for ClemsonPlus. And before that, I did similar work back at Auburn Athletics.
Outside of that, I pick up my camera for the moments people want remembered. Proposals, maternity sessions, graduations, the kind of stuff that deserves more than a phone snapshot.
Anyway, that's me. Here are some pictures of me doing what I love, which is, in my opinion, the coolest job in the world.
