Dancing Through the Glitches: Filming Raegan Valentine at East Texas A&M University

Our team recently traveled to East Texas to film a spotlight video for Raegan Valentine, a dancer and scholarship recipient at East Texas A&M. From the start, we could tell Raegan had a great story to share. She carried herself with quiet confidence and spoke thoughtfully about her growth as a student and performer.

She also talked about the support she’s received from her family and how that encouragement has shaped her path. That connection gave her story an extra layer of depth and made our time with her even more meaningful.

Like many shoots, this one came with its share of technical hiccups.

We brought two cameras to cover both the interview and the dance footage. After years of reliable service, one of the cameras showed an error message we’d never seen before. We quickly tried different solutions, including checking the memory cards, digging through settings and restarting the system. Eventually, we got it working again.

Luckily, we weren’t in a rush and came equipped to deal with the unexpected glitches, including backup equipment and a game plan for how to handle the sudden change. We had time to adjust our setup and make sure we still captured everything we needed.

These kinds of challenges are part of the process. Flexibility and teamwork often matter just as much as gear and planning.

In the end, we walked away with solid footage and a meaningful story. Raegan’s passion for dance and her steady determination came through clearly in everything we captured.
