Chapelwood “About Us” Video
This project highlights the heart and mission of Chapelwood United Methodist Church. Senior Pastor John Stephens delivers a warm and thoughtful message about the church’s vision, supported by cinematic b-roll of ministries, worship, and community events. Aerial drone shots add scale and beauty, grounding the story in both place and purpose.
Shot in August 2025, the final video now sits on Chapelwood’s homepage as their primary introduction to visitors—helping newcomers understand who they are before they ever step inside the building.
Wildwood Ramp Project — Documentary Storytelling
The Wildwood Ramp Project is a ministry dedicated to building accessibility ramps for children and families impacted by mobility challenges. This documentary-style piece followed the team on-site as they worked, capturing the people, purpose, and passion behind the ministry.
With a boots-on-the-ground approach, I documented the construction process, gathered interviews from volunteers and community members, and captured the behind-the-scenes moments that revealed the heart of the project.
Through a combination of A-roll interviews, supporting B-roll, and observational storytelling, the final video shared the ministry’s mission with the congregation and highlighted the difference being made through hands-on service.
Vision Video — Communicating Impact Through Data
This project focused on transforming Chapelwood’s vision, growth, and community impact into a clear and engaging visual presentation. Using data-driven storytelling, motion graphics, supporting imagery, and strategic visual design, the video communicated key information about attendance, ministry reach, financial investment, and how resources were being used to support the church’s mission.
The goal was to make complex information accessible and meaningful for the congregation, allowing viewers to better understand the scope of Chapelwood’s work and the impact of their participation.
By combining statistics, storytelling, and visual communication, the final piece helped connect organizational data with the larger mission and vision of the church.
SUMMIT 2026
For SUMMIT 2026, I created a storytelling experience that captured the heart of students as they served the Beaumont, Texas community. Through cinematic drone footage, on-location coverage, interviews, and documentary-style storytelling, the project followed students as they built accessibility ramps for families in need.
The final feature video was shown during worship services in the sanctuary, helping the congregation experience the impact of the mission firsthand. In addition to the main story piece, I created daily video updates throughout the mission trip, documenting the team’s progress, challenges, and moments of connection as the project unfolded.
This project focused on transforming an event recap into a meaningful story of service, community, and faith in action.
Dominic Delgado — Personal Testimonial Story
This testimonial project focused on highlighting the personal impact of Chapelwood through the story of Dominic Delgado. Rather than simply recording an interview, we spent time capturing authentic moments from her life and gathering supporting visuals that helped bring her experience to life.
Through intentional B-roll, environmental storytelling, and a focused testimonial interview, the final piece showcased how Chapelwood has shaped her journey and created a lasting sense of belonging and community.
The goal was to create a story that felt personal, genuine, and relatable to anyone searching for a place to connect.
