JARED BARNETT
Southern New Hampshire University
Over the span of two years, I've had the unique opportunity to develop my video production aptitude in every capacity as I produced web videos for SNHU. The video content ranged from course-specific program videos to more light-hearted content like diploma deliveries. Most of the time I was a one-man band: directing, creating storyboards, taking lead on art direction, writing, concepting, editing, running camera, running sound, etc. Other times I had various assistance from my creative team.
Suprise Diploma Deliveries
SNHU has a long-standing commitment to its military students. When we found out several graduates couldn't make it to the 2014 commencement ceremony, we set out to surprise active-duty service members, veterans and military spouses with their diplomas. This is the most viewed web video in SNHU's history. I edited it, ran sound, directed, and was lead videographer.

In 2015, this video won Gold at the Boston Hatch Awards for Online Single Video Entry.
Neil McLellan - Web Video
This spot centered around a future SNHU alum, who was already using his degree program to help an industry innovate in a big way.
​
Neil was working on the front of lines of the "Internet of Things" for Wind River, a subsidiary of Intel. We wanted to show all the future MBA's what was possible with a little help from the SNHU business curriculum.
Peer Learning Community
SNHUConnect is the university's internal social network for students. This video was created to help students navigate Peer Learning Communities, which allows students to find support in their specific degree programs. I saw this video through from start to finish: copy, VO talent direction, art direction, motion, editing, sound, and color.

Online Learning Web Video
Online education is a foreign concept for many. We created this video to pull the curtain back for prospective students, helping them better understand what online learning is all about. I was excited to work on this because it gave me an opportunity to make a certain type of piece (feeling wise) that I had often seen, and always wanted to take a crack at. I concepted, edited, and took lead on motion graphics.
SNHU-Berklee College Partnership
In 2014, I edited this web video that markets the newly-made partnership between SNHU and Berklee College of Music for their MBA in Music Business. The video's leading man is Rick Drumm, the former president of D'Addario music company and an SNHU alum.
Fit and Flexibility
SNHU is unique because we make it possible for students to study anywhere around the world, no matter how remote. This piece is dedicated to illustrating that as we focused on SNHU student, Tracey Burraston. She was getting her degree while raising a family in a remote part of Colorado. Spending an entire day filming at her ranch, we were able to get a good glimpse of rural life for Tracey and her family. I was inspired by the slow, quiet beauty of the surroudings and really tried to reflect that in the edit.
A Non-Profit University
This web video features Nicole Pribbernow, an incredible SNHU student who is getting her degree while being on board a non-profit hospital ship that serves the African coast. I edited, sourced music, and helped concept.
