Scott Delony

Hello! My name is Scott, and I’m an award-winning visual media producer with 20 years of experience in all aspects of photo and video production, with an emphasis in higher education marketing.

I'm a visionary storyteller, creator, editor and project manager with a demonstrated ability to take an idea from concept to delivery. I’m a self-starter who thrives in collaborative environments, working closely with strategic and creative teams to develop and produce high-quality content.

My photography has been featured in Photoshop User magazine, my video work has been broadcast nationally and my motion graphics work has been seen by millions of people in the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. I love to travel and have been fortunate to shoot in 14 countries on five continents.

I'm always looking for a new project to work on, so reach out and let's create something great!

What I Do

Project Management

Strong project management skills have been vital to help my clients achieve their creative vision. Juggling meetings, scripts, timelines, budgets and worldwide travel is all part of the gig. I am currently pursuing my Project Management Certification (PMP) to further enrich my skillset.

Videography

I have been creating videos since 2002 and am proficient in all aspects of preproduction and postproduction including scriptwriting, sound design and color grading. My favorite style of videos to create are interview-driven documentaries.

Photography

My role as a university photographer has allowed me to become proficient in most styles of photography and retouching with portraits and events being the two most common. In my personal life, I enjoy photographing wildlife, travel and events that feature creative and dramatic lighting.

Motion Graphics

I use my motion graphics skills for a variety of projects including logo animation, kinetic typography, animating bumpers/lower 3rds and lighting effects. I love working in After Effects and I always say if I don't already know how to do it, I'll have fun figuring out how.
