Xavier Campbell, Senior Videographer

Xavier Campbell is a senior videographer who joined the video crew his sophomore year during his time with Kristen Hopkins’s Video Fundamentals class. From this, he joined Kristy Nyp’s Video Production class. 

Campbell started doing video related activities due to his interest in creating content. 

“Video is like lego pieces,” he said. “It's nice when you put it all together.”

Campbell’s favorite video-related memory is when he and senior Hailey Vardiman went to Atlanta for a national competition for SkillsUSA. This competition allowed a better understanding of Campbell’s aspirations of video producing. 

When participating in livestreams, Campbell enjoys the adrenaline of being a director. 

“The sporadic feeling of knowing what to do, but not whats going to happen is amazing,” he said.

The general idea of livestreams are all the same, but each hold a new creative outlook. 

When Campbell isn’t behind a camera you can find him testing new editing software and building PCs.
