Orientation Video for Honors College 

I began by outlining the video structure in Microsoft PowerPoint, aligning each scene with key messages drawn from the live orientation. This helped visualize the pacing, flow, and content. 

I identified essential learning outcomes and reverse-engineered the script to ensure the most important information was delivered clearly and efficiently. 

Custom graphics and visuals were created in Adobe Express, Firefly, and Photoshop, all aligned with Kent State University’s brand guidelines to maintain a cohesive look and feel. 

The initial narration was recorded in a studio, but after script revisions, I transitioned to Microsoft Clipchamp’s text-to-speech tool for flexibility and control over tone and timing. 

I used TechSmith Camtasia to combine screen captures, narration, visual assets, and animations into a polished, professional video with smooth transitions and visual consistency. 

The final video was hosted on Kaltura, where I enhanced the user experience by adding chapters and interactive hotspots to improve navigation and engagement for viewers.
