44th Commencement Exercise | Northern Marianas College

For NMC’s 44th Commencement Exercise, my goal was to elevate the livestream beyond a simple broadcast and give it the polished feel of a professional event.

To keep viewers engaged from the start, I created a custom Proa logo animation inspired by Apple event openers, which served as the waiting screen. Instead of leaving audiences staring at a static graphic, we introduced a Commencement Pre-Show that built anticipation and set the tone before the ceremony officially began.

At the start of the program, I added a motion-graphics intro video designed to create a dramatic, cinematic opening. Throughout the stream, camera shots were color-graded for a cohesive cinematic look, and music was carefully curated and planned—striking the right emotional tone while ensuring copyright compliance.

The result was a commencement livestream that felt intentional, engaging, and memorable, matching the significance of the occasion while enhancing the viewing experience for both on-site and remote audiences.

Commonwealth State Funerals

In Honor of the Late Governor Arnold Indalecio Palacios and
Former Lt. Governor Diego T. Benavente

I helped lead the creative direction for both State Funeral livestreams honoring the late Governor Arnold Indalecio Palacios and former Lt. Governor Diego T. Benavente. For each event, the goal was simple: document the ceremonies with accuracy while presenting them in a way that reflected the dignity, service, and legacy of both leaders.

I worked with the production team to coordinate drone coverage for the processions, capturing the movement from transport to the funeral site and then to the church. I also created motion graphic intros and designed custom tribute graphics for each broadcast to give the presentations a consistent and respectful visual identity.

We distributed the livestreams across multiple channels and local news networks to ensure the community had full access. The final productions blended live coverage, cinematic visuals, and thoughtful design, offering meaningful tributes for all who tuned in.
