Nationwide Insurance Corporate Video

On this particular piece I was able to edit my own version utilizing the shoot footage, changing some of the edit choices, re-creating the graphics, and selecting an alternate music bed. Adobe Premiere Pro was the editing system, while the camera system used was the Sony FS-7 with Zeiss prime lenses.
