When I took this picture of
@kenzielong21
, who ended up winning 3 national titles a few hours later, I didn’t know how important this moment was for her.
Hard to put into words how I felt after getting this DM. All I know is that I chose the right profession.
This is a friendly reminder to myself that 24fps is THE cinematic frame rate

For many, this is just a job.
For a kid from Vietnam, having an US job is life-changing.
Getting this work VISA was the goal since I left my country at 16. While for my parents - ever since they started saving up decades ago to send me overseas.

When your content is done by the upper middle class SMM who has a ‘trendy’ social voice, but also says “this meeting could’ve been a zoom” after every annual DEI training session.
Diversity matters.
Zero coaching experience outside of his son’s elementary team.
Here’s a reminder to start posting your work and consistently show off your expertise and personality. Many doors will be opened.

My DMs are open!
Wrapped up my season this past weekend with
@BeaverTFXC
at the
#NCAATF
Championships.
It’s always been my favorite event to close out the year with ✌️📸
🧵 (1/3) The only fun part of car wash days is the shooting. Having a good plan going in is key to ensure consistency and save your team hours of non-creative work.
Intern Chance (Twitterless) showed me
@milanoteapp
and I can’t go back now. No better solution for pre-production
Emily from
@AtlantaFalcons
created an IG page dedicated to DAM and it’s easily one of my favorite follows from this year.
Asset management is what separates a pro photographer from a hobbyist. In a team environment, your workflow is just as important as your work.
What a difference a year makes.
S/O to
@DesRochesSony
& Co for giving our growing team a much needed boost this year.
Plenty more games to cover, plenty more stories to tell - The squad’s ready👌🏼
The love from Beaver Nation made the late night edit all worth it.
Could’ve not pulled this off without
@SamStanley23
, our MKT team, and all of 6 shooters during the live coverage.
Thank you
@SaraElcano
for trusting us with this special project!
Gear doesn’t matter… until it does.
3 weeks ago we got a much needed boost from
@SonyAlpha
for crossover season. So much has happened since, but we’ve been able to capture them all. Super thankful for
@DesRochesSony
and co. for pulling this off for us.
#GoBeavs
When you have 8 true freshmen on the team, it’s all about documenting the process.
Coach Tinkle and Co. have done an amazing job at nurturing a winning culture, setting our creative team up perfectly to tell this part of the story in the future.
#GoBeavs
First day ✅
Beyond excited to start this next chapter of my life with
@beaverathletics
as a Creative Content Producer.
The PNW already feels like home.

🌲🦫
Meeting the opposing team creatives is always fun.
What’s even more fun? A great conversation over coffee about culture, developing interns, and all things
#SMsports
Highly recommend chopping it up with this duo when they’re in your city 🦫🤝🦬
Hot take: If you get imposter syndrome from looking at the numbers, you’re in this industry for the wrong reason.
Real ones use
@ongondola
to simply keep track of their work and to connect with other creatives.
Love the craft of whatever you’re doing, the “clout” will come
Hot take: Gondola is just another platform that separates the haves (P5 & major league creatives) and the have-nots (D2/3 & minor league creatives)
The ranking system is just another way to give us imposter syndrome…I mean c’mon that can’t be healthy
I'll always be a creative's creative but if you want to be a freelancer, be a freelancer - Do you. Working for an organization and being a staff isn't for everybody.
For those looking for athletics jobs, this is exactly what we mean when we say your talent isn't everything.
If your wrestling or volleyball program’s looking for a full-time content creator who can do it all, our intern Paul (Twitter-less) is looking for a post-grad job.
The nicest, hardest working dude I’ve ever met. Feel free to DM me for his contact!
The most traumatizing minutes I’ve ever experienced. Our house was on this tornado’s path but thank god it wasn’t directly underneath the core. 🧵 (1/4)

No matter how much we prep for this stuff, to have all 4 shooters nailing our angles for this walk-off was just poetic. Definition of team effort 😤

Photographer needed in Virginia‼️
We’re looking for a freelance photographer to cover our 2 All-American runners at XC Championships this Saturday in Charlottesville 📸
Shoot me a DM if you’re interested or know someone!
@SCCUnited
@ongondola
We could’ve used 10 more angles honestly.
Zoomed in on my shot and found an even more priceless moment. The little girl closing her eyes as the ref signed a 3-point attempt…
Gosh I love sports so much
This.
All of my best work this year were with Olympic sports.
Creative freedom and how the team treats you as a person mean so much more than those bright lights and a little more likes you might get
Advice to students who are looking to intern/work in their college athletics departments: Be excited for an opportunity to work w/Olympic sports. You may find your niche that way!
Sending emails saying you want to work with the "revenue generating sports" won't get you far!
If this was just half of Reser with students still being on break, I can’t imagine what it’d be like next year 😮💨 S/O to our entire staff
@BeaverAthletics
for making it happen.
First college football experience ✅

camera drip, and tag me.
While you all have my deepest appreciation, the best image posted gets a special prize from me personally (not a company sponsored thing).
I will decide Sunday (6/10) @ 10pm PT.
Have a great weekend, now...Go!
Represent.
Love seeing these two flow effortlessly and leaving some of the Beaver Creative blueprints at the WCWS. So proud!
Can’t forget the entire
@NCAASoftball
squad. Content has been so good all week 💯
One thing they didn’t prepare you for before college athletics - saying bye to your athlete/ creative intern.
Couldn’t be more proud of this girl and how much she’s grown as a creative this past year.
Future is so bright, KrisDaBoss!
P/S: Thanks for the hand me downs 🤣
Did
@rosco__14
have to use the correct native spelling of my Vietnamese last name here? Nope, but he did. It really is the little things.
Thanks 🐐 and Happy New Year to the crew in Winston-Salem 🫡
Reset & recharge ✅
It’s easy to fall into the trap of toxic productivity when you love your job.
I took a step back this weekend to start finding a new hobby, which isn’t a hard task when you live in Oregon 😁
I’m excited to say that I have accepted a position as an Assistant Director of Creative Video for
@BeaverAthletics
. I’m thankful for the abilities that God has given to me & His favor in my life. Super excited to learn and work with the incredibly talented team here in Corvallis!

From the shooting, sound design to the storytelling, the depth and consistency we get from Chance blows my mind every single day.
Just art.
“It takes one crash…”
Same with ✈️🔥💥 or any sort of entertainment element ever. There’s always risk, but we trust the professionals who handle them.
Shouldn’t that be the case with elite FPV pilots? Creatives deserve a seat at the table for decisions like this
Disappointed in
@NCAAFootball
latest rule changes.
They’re really missing the mark here and eliminating any sort of innovation for the future. I’d love to discuss the ways to keep players and fans safe rather than short-sided decision making.
ICYMI, Aliyah’s been creating content about Women’s sports for YEARS - way before it’s become the norm (ish) on mainstream media.
Give her all the flowers!
so many big brands are re-posting my content of the
#WNBADraft
right now…I remember years of people questioning why I want to focus so heavily on women’s sports and it’s because I GENUINELY love it. And I hope that shows through my work.
If you follow Oregon St, there’s a 100% chance you’ve seen
@Kmaasdam
photos at some point in your life.
Big thanks to Karl for speaking to our students about storytelling & the craft of photography. The brutal critique session was easily our favorite part though 😅😤
@nellez_
A hiring manager once told me he hires off of vibes.
We mostly “vibe” with people who look like us or came from the same background. Save that for the weekend tho, work doesn’t have to be the place to hang with my best buds.
Are you competent and a decent person? That’s all
Creative class of '23 & '24 have got to be the strongest ever coming out of college 👀😤
That's my main takeaway after going through my DMs from the last few days. Beyond excited for the future of our industry 💯
ICYMI, We’re hiring! 📽️🎨:
I can testify to this.
Imry agreed to hop on a Zoom call with me last year to talk about a position we were trying to fill.
Learnt so much from our conversation and every conversation I’ve had with like-minded leaders in the creative space.
We don’t compete with each other. We’re here to help each other.
I get SOOO excited when a counterpart from another school reaches out to me. Doesn’t matter if from a big school or small.
Never occurs to me to not share absolutely everything I know with them. A rising tide…
Our setup for yesterday’s shoot with

It’s been an absolutely joy working with this team the past year. Can’t wait to continue growing the brand 🤝
Mini team building trip before school starts for our interns, and things get even more busy for us.
Good food, new shoes, a Beavers Win, and plenty of conversations on how we could bring our video department to new levels. Great weekend with the crew 🎥📈

I’d be disappointed if that music notes fight scene won’t blow up on here. At least on filmmaking twitter. Who was the genius behind that iconic display of movie making?

We need to learn more from independent creators and business owners who just kill it with short-form UGC content.
This reel has all the ingredients to go viral and she posted it almost right after T-Swift’s jacket started to make noise on socials. Talk about capitalizing 👏🏼
You can pretend to be the expert or let the real expert cook.
The first draft of this video was edited by one of our own softball athletes who knows her niche better than all of us 🤷🏻♂️
Thanks
