Digital Media Beginnings-RDPOV


Act I: In the Beginning

The company started out of the desire to make a local highschool news station. The station was called Red Devil Point of View (RDPOV). It wasn't the greatest station, but it was ours. From there the crew (James, Ryan, Jaron, Landon)and I started making mini movie shorts. They ranged from music videos, crazy love potions, and silly PSA ads. This had taken up most of our highschool careers, that along with a strange addiction to sitting in our local coffee shop, drinking a variety of flavorful hot chocolates.

Act II: Journeys of our own

After highschool was over, we all started to go seperate ways. We went to see the world, some stayed for about two years in places such as Madagascar, Spain, Iowa, Florida, Peru, and California. After these two years, we came back to good ol' fashioned Utah. We had reunited. We attempted to follow our passions, with some of us starting up our own wedding videography/photography business, and others doing a different vocations such as computer programmer, a male nurse, and a dentist.

Act III: Connections

After trying out the friend wedding/photography businesses, we decided to try on our own. Jaron started up a video ad company, while James is still being a male nurse, and Landon is a computer programming ninja. James, Landon, and Ryan started up a podcast called The Valley Podcast, you can still listen to it today. I sometimes guest star. Tanner has a baby girl, and is still going after his dream of being a dentist. I have continued with the videography/photography business also. I have Parallel Productions and work full time at UCCU as their in house videographer/photographer. We all meet up and connect about once a month or so, and we help each other out on projects that require our skill set. We have yet to see how the male nurse thing ties in with computer programming, but who knows what the future holds? WebMD 2?
