My first introduction to the outdoor and travel clothing company ExOfficio was through editing a fun ad for their website (via Aurora Novus) telling the story of photographer Gregg Bleakney‘s two-year bike trip from Alaska to Argentina wearing just two pairs of ExOfficio underwear. In February 2012, I traveled to Colombia for two weeks with Gregg as part of the production team for ExOfficio’s on-location photo/video shoot for the 2012 catalog and website. On location, my primary role as part of the team was shooting video and collecting audio, and I’ll be editing a series of product and storytelling videos for the ExOfficio website.
