PORTFOLIO
My name is Noah Rodgers and I am currently a freelance filmmaker, photographer and owner of Created by Noah.
I am an experienced and diversified creative and media professional seeking to engage and develop missions and brands through beautiful and compelling narrative and visual imagery. I specialize in collaborating with individuals representing their mission or product who desire to tell a story in the most effective way possible. I believe wholeheartedly in my work so I really enjoy engaging with people who believe wholeheartedly in theirs.
Below are some examples of my best work as well as an overview of some of the organizations & companies I’ve had the pleasure of doing business with thus far. Thanks for checking out my portfolio!
IVY & NAOMI
Two very unique stories of children being placed in their forever home. Ivy, a child born with diastrophic dysplasia and Naomi, a teenage girl who spent the majority of her life in the Texas State Foster Care system. Filmed, produced and edited by Noah Rodgers.
PINE COVE | ALUMNI
A storytelling piece for current summer camp staffers to issue them into the Pine Cove Alumni Association; told through the stories and encouragements of former staff members now living and working in the “real world.”
Six separate interviews filmed and coordinated over the course of two weeks in various locations throughout the DFW area.
Filmed and edited by Noah Rodgers. Produced by Noah Rodgers and Katy Weidner.
RN TO BSN PROGRAM | TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF NURSING
A program overview told through the perspective of several students currently in the program highlighting its main qualities as an industry leading education program in this field. Several interviews conducted over the course of several days in collaboration with the College of Nursing Marketing Department. Filmed by Noah Rodgers and Luke Rabalais. Produced by Diane Oswald of Texas A&M HSC. Edited by Noah Rodgers.
E3 PARTNERS COLOMBIA | WHO WE ARE
Story piece created to highlight the need and the mission of a church-planting ministry working throughout major cities in the South American country of Colombia.
I was blessed with the opportunity to travel internationally with a church planting ministry called E3 Partners, specifically to their initiative and cohort of staff in Colombia. We spent several days filming and meeting with local church leaders to illustrate the success and reach of the church thus far, but also the need for more people to get involved and support the expanding vision for this region and country.
Equipped with the camera gear we could carry with us, my wife and I traversed the lush mountain roads of Armenia, Quindio, Colombia, trekking high into the coffee farms scattered throughout the mountains, and down into the streets of the cities to observe the people walking about their lives and business. We captured different elements of the city, landscape and culture and used it to create this video.
MANUFACTURING & DISTRIBUTION CFO FORUM
Worked closely with David Kohl of RHSB. Filmed at SMU in Plano for promotional purposes. Filmed, edited and produced by Noah Rodgers.
This was by far one of the most involved projects I've been a part of when it came to planning, executing and creating. Thankfully, my corporate point of contact was my roommate's dad and that connection proved invaluable throughout the entire project. After many phone calls, Google Docs, trip arrangements, equipment rentals, and numerous editing hours, we came up with this final result. My first venture into the corporate video world proved to be a very educational experience. This project helped to expand my scope of thinking in formulating how to creatively present relatively unfamiliar content in a compelling and engaging way.
AGGIES COMMIT OVERVIEW VIDEO
Worked closely with Dr. Michael Stephenson, Associate Provost for Academic Affairs at Texas A&M University. Filmed at various locations on the campus of Texas A&M University for educational and promotional purposes. Filmed, edited and produced by Noah Rodgers, Class of '16.
This project was part of my on-campus job working for the Office of Institutional Effectiveness and Evaluation. I was hired primarily to work on media content creation and management for the Aggies Commit to Learning For A Lifetime Quality Enhancement Program initiative on the campus of Texas A&M University, part of the state accreditation process for all public universities in the state of Texas.
Our first and largest project is displayed in the video above. I had the honor of working closely with the Student Body President, Kyle Kelly, the Provost and Executive Vice President of Texas A&M, Dr. Karan L. Watson, and various students representing high impact learning experiences at A&M. As filming progressed, I guided and prompted each interviewee and cohesively formulated this video which encapsulates the purpose, initiative and results of the program at A&M. This represents one of the most intricately-planned videos with a lot of moving parts—academically, logistically, even bureaucratically—I've had the privilege to direct.
Through this project I learned how to professionally navigate and organize a video project with a measure of academic prestige attached to it. I sat through meetings with deans of colleges and faculty with various iterations of "Provost" in their titles, presenting my ideas and work progress as the project advanced—something I had never experienced before.
