Colonial Williamsburg Foundation

When the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation opened the 40,000-square-foot Campbell Archaeology Center in April 2026 — a signature project for America's 250th anniversary, and the only facility in the country to put both a working archaeology lab and its artifacts on public display, stewarding a collection of nearly 60 million objects — I was the videographer and editor behind its permanent video installation.

The piece plays across four screens built from eight 75-inch panels mounted vertically, shot entirely in 8K: high-resolution capture composed specifically for vertical presentation, and finished to run continuously — every day, in a world-class museum — rather than for a single campaign.

Much of it was shot outdoors, on location across Colonial Williamsburg's public park grounds and historic green spaces — combining ground-based field capture with aerial drone cinematography over the grounds, working in natural light and real, changing conditions to capture the setting authentically, the way a visitor actually experiences it. Everything in 8K, professionally color-corrected and edited, composed for vertical display, and built as a permanent, evergreen asset the institution will run for years. Outdoor, aerial and ground, high-resolution, vertical-first, and made to last — the same standard a destination content library lives on.

It's exactly what destination work depends on. Contractually I can't post the video — but it's better in person anyway. → colonialwilliamsburg.org
