At the College of The Arts we’ve faced the challenge of safe interaction with the community throughout the pandemic with an expanded use of video. This was the culmination of that as a large collaboration between those of us in the Office of Communications & Engagement, Events & Productions Services, and the USF Foundation, combined with students and faculty, and the directors of each of the schools that make up the college. It was a large and demanding project, but also one that was a lot of fun, because each person added their own strengths to the production. It is one of our most polished pieces to date.

Videography, Photography (for the cardboard cut-out), and Special Effects by Bryce Womeldurf
This was a fun and safe way of introducing the new dean, Chris Garvin, to the college while the university and most of the world was grappling with the first year of the pandemic. Chris had arrived at the position during the early days of the pandemic while most students, faculty, and staff were working from home. Consequently, he hadn’t been able to visit many of the studios and meet people in person until much later. Chris has a great sense of humor, and the cardboard cut-out would be a fun and unique way of showing that off with him “virtually” touring the campus and the Tampa Bay area. There were some great outtakes that I should cut together someday, where he was placed in places like the front of Ybor City’s Columbia restaurant, and on the small beach at the USF St Petersburg campus (which was tricky because I had to stand behind it and hide to hold it up against the wind).
ArtHouse XXI Preview
Created for the University of South Florida School of Art & Art History
Videography and Photography by Bryce Womeldurf
Editing by Bryce Womeldurf
Music sourced from YouTube Studio
Each year the USF College of The Arts has an art open house on the Tampa campus. This is the event known as ArtHouse. The studios are open to display student work and musicians perform live in the courtyard. This short video was shot in one night during the previous year’s event and later edited to promote the event on the CoTA and SAAH websites, through email marketing, and on social media. Footage was selected based on action; a person pointing, someone capturing a photograph, people bending over to view artwork more closely. It has a more relaxed vibe than my earlier ArtHouse previews and fits well with the more laid back feel of the School of Art & Art History.
Dream Drives: Pacific Coast Highway
Videography by Bryce and Nina Womeldurf
Editing by Bryce Womeldurf
Dream Drives: Pacific Coast Highway is a self-initiated project I created to accompany my coverage of car culture in California for my car blog, HOONART. Filming was a collaboration between my wife and myself, shot with a Nikon D750 and an iPhone 6s Plus. The film is meant to capture the picturesque drive down the Pacific Coast Highway from the San Francisco Bay Area to Los Angeles. The research for the titles involved matching up the locations on video with their real names on Google Maps and Flickr. Before setting up the edit, I composed a soundtrack for the film in Apple GarageBand with looped beats. I then used the soundtrack to guide my timing of the transitions. I smoothed out any visible instability with Adobe Premiere. This project was a refreshing change from my usual subject matter. Filming and creating the video was a fun experience and makes me want to continue developing Dream Drives into a series based around showing fun, scenic places to drive.
