Aggie Awakening (2020-2021)
Staff introduction videos shown to retreaters at St. Mary's Aggie Awakening retreats in College Station, Texas.
My senior year of college, I was on leadership for a special retreat that St. Mary's hosts for A&M students called Aggie Awakening. My specific role was to handle anything and everything creative, from the t-shirts, to the large banners, to the leadership introduction videos.
​
I was told that the videos are usually kind of silly and low-effort... but as an enjoyer of video editing and simple animations, I simply could not hold myself back. So for each of the semesters I was a part of Aggie Awakening leadership, I put together the best leadership introduction videos that retreat has ever seen.
​
At Aggie Awakening, there is a secret staff called prayer staff who are not revealed until the final day of the weekend-long retreat. This meant that I had to make two versions of each video, one without them, and one with. Below are the versions WITH prayer staff that are shown at the end of the retreat.
(Also, I caught Covid-19 just before the second semester retreat, and my quarantine did not finish until the last day of the retreat, which will explain the reference I made to my quarantine in the second video)
