Keep SUNY Brockport in the Game | SUNY Brockport
Due to many COVID-19 outbreaks at SUNY campuses. SUNY was forced to create new policies that gave consequences to students-athletes not following the CDC guidelines of social distancing, hand washing and mask wearing. After seeing recent Brockport video work, SUNY asked us to come up with a campaign that would be launched with the new policies. #SUNYintheGame was born along with a video/script template for other SUNY schools to follow.

DO MASKS Work? | SUNY Brockport
I was assigned to come up with a PSA that students will be required to wear masks for the 2020 fall semester to help stop the spread of Covid-19. With masks being very political at the time of the announcement I thought the message would have more value and be more sharable if we conducted an experiment with our microbiologists on campus. After gaining traction on Instagram, the video was shared by NYS Governor Andrew Cuomo in his daily Covid-19 newsletter.

Nick Anderson, lead singer of The Wrecks, called me two days before Christmas in 2019 with a crazy high school musical concept for his new song Fvck Somebody. He wanted to know if I would be free to shoot and edit the video. Fvck yeah I was! So we met Christmas night to finalize and create the storyboard. We gathered a slough of volunteers that helped us with cardboard cut outs, the dance, location scouting and costume design to be ready for shooting in 72 hours. With only 7 hours to shoot and zero dress rehearsal, the crew, local kids with apparently nothing to do during the holidays, were able to pull off this viral hit.

Going no. 2 | Zach LYman
SUNYWIDE FILM Festival 2016 | Fiction Finalist
“Going No. 2” was a project that wasn’t supposed to happen. A professor in a script writing class once told me, “comedy is hard enough for professionals to write let alone Juniors in college.” We were forbidden to try comedy in that class. So I didn’t. Instead, I took it upon myself to prove that I could. With the submission deadline for the SUNYWIDE Film Festival two weeks away, I wrote, filmed and edited a light, comedy short about an OCD student and a menacing pencil. Out of 200 plus submissions, I was one of eight finalists. This is one of my prouder moments as a filmmaker, as I was the only one to represent my college in the SUNYWIDE Film Festival that year.
Holiday Video 2017 | Alfred University

Jimmy Fallon’s Wonderful Christmas Time video, was the inspiration for my first AU holiday video. The only issue being my lack of history or experience in recording and producing music! Vocalists of all skill levels were invited to sing their best version of Jingle Bells. Even our president and mascot, L’il Alf, made an appearance. The community loved it and it set us up to try bigger things the following year. Fun fact: From producing the instrumental and each tile needing custom creation, positioning and animating, This was a tedious 60 hour edit. Let’s just say, I’ve heard Jingle Bells more than people would hear in 10 life times.
