University of the Cumberlands // Graduation Highlights 2021

Anytime we have the chance to work with a local University, we take it! Andrew Powell and Jordan Jung of The University of the Cumberlands communications department paid us a visit in the spring of 2021. Around the conference table, we discussed the opportunity of live-streaming their 5 graduation ceremonies and creating an epic highlight video to show off all the events. 

We got to work on research on how to best make this happen. We ordered the gear, had our full team as camera operators and the live-stream was flawless! A big win for us as this was our first-ever live streaming event. 

As far as the highlight video goes, we wanted to stay true to the heart of the University! The prayers heard in the beginning are those of real University of the Cumberland students opening each ceremony. We then wanted to focus on the fellowship of it all. The pure celebration of a degree won! We gathered plenty of shots of the students taking their final pictures on campus with each other, friends, family, and faculty! Loved ones came from far and wide to see these students walk across the stage to accept their diplomas from President Cockrum offering a COVID-19 friendly fist bump. The energy on campus those days was that of pride, joy, and accomplishment. We wanted to capture that in the best way possible!

After finding the music with just the right amount of pomp, circumstance, and celebration,  the rest flowed out like a river in editing. These pieces are some of our favorites for many reasons. Documenting genuine joy and happiness is always an adventure we love to go on!

“Working with Natalie is an absolute pleasure. She is kind, compassionate, and takes the time to truly understand your vision. Her expertise and attention to detail shine through in everything she creates. She produced a stunning 2.5-minute video showcasing the Grace Health Medical Campus in Knox County—our largest project to date. This expansive facility combines primary care, pediatrics, behavioral health, pharmacy, dental services, and more under one roof to provide comprehensive, accessible healthcare to the community. Natalie perfectly captured this project’s scale, impact, and heart in a beautifully crafted and engaging video. Her professionalism and dedication to high-quality work make her an outstanding choice for any video production needs.”

Success Stories from the Region

“If you're looking for an incredible videographer, Natalie at Evergreen is the one to hire. We had Federal Partners visiting from D.C., and we needed to tell three distinct stories with a level of professionalism that would make them confi dent enough to share the content through their national outlets. Natalie exceeded those expectations, delivering work that not only impressed our partners but also sparked immense local pride. What more could you ask for?”
Sandi Curd
Program Director at KHIC

“We recently worked with Natalie on a video series for our nonprofi t to capture stories of our clients in Eastern Kentucky. Her ability to make our interviewees feel at ease on camera sharing hardships they have overcome was truly remarkable. We worked together to set deadlines for each project and we always had the fi nal product, with edits made, right on schedule. Natalie was also very fl exible with scheduling as things needed to shift with our interview subjects. We really appreciated that Natalie was more than willing to provide our videos in both vertical and horizontal formats, and that she was also willing to distill them down into shorter clips for use on social media. This makes a huge difference in the versatility of how we can use them and is so important this day and age. Highly recommend Natalie and Evergreen Productions!”
