Media Productions and Experience
Created a USDA "Beltsville Virtual Experience" (BVE) during the Covid pandemic (March, 2020+), which consists of a 1- to 4-hour long virtual live tour of the Beltsville Ag Research Center via Google Earth Pro merged with more than 2,000 pics and graphics as I pilot a self-designed environmental-friendly flying green bus. Each BVE is customized based on the virtual visiting group's backgrounds, interests and time allotment.

Click here to hear a re-written (with Americanized verbiage) rendition of Tom Evan's "Traveling Light" visualization, which includes newly added music and sound effects. This was written and recorded as a potential self-health /healing production for fellow work employees.
Created short, positive-themed A-V productions for fellow work employees during the Covid-19 pandemic. Ensured they were less than a minute, being cognizant of most of society's lack of free time and short attention spans. Click for examples: "Connected Leaf" || "Slow your Rapids"
