Welcome to my website! My name is Jacob Butler, and I am a recently-graduated digital media professional. I obtained my BA in Digital Media Production in December 2023 from the University of Northern Iowa, and have now accepted a job offer at KIMT-TV in Rochester, MN as an evening director, as well as doing freelance videography and editing in the Upper Midwest and remotely.
Beyond creating digital media content, I am a massive sports fan, catching as much football, basketball, and baseball that I can, from mid-major colleges like my alma mater UNI, all the way to the professional leagues. Additionally, I have a strong music background, with more than 10 years of my life spent playing the trumpet in various school bands from grade school all the way through college, with the culmination of that experience being the Panther Marching Band during my time in college, where I was lucky enough to travel to Madrid, Spain with the ensemble and perform in the Three Kings' Parade in 2023. Finally, I love spending time around my hometown dogs, Wrigley and Piper, and I'll never turn down seeing other people's pets!
Below is my college videography and editing reel, featuring class work, the Panther Marching Band, and other various projects during my 3 and a half years at UNI.
I specialize in videography for both live and pre-recorded content, with extensive experience in the Adobe Creative Suite. I have a keen eye for capturing emotion and action in video, and telling a story through camera work.
I have experience in video, audio, pre- and postproduction, and editing through my time in college and internship at Around The Corner Productions. I have also operated TV cameras for NCAA Division 1 sports on The Valley on ESPN, which is streamed on ESPN+ and ESPN3.
I am looking for an opportunity to work with professionals who bring energy and excitement to the workplace every day. I want to bring a positive atmosphere and fresh ideas to a team of like-minded individuals. I am willing to learn new skills and tackle difficult projects.
