Scott Brumfield is helping athletics at a smaller college find a larger audience. As the Athletic 媒体 Director 和 Coordinator of 的电子竞技 at Pensacola State College, 斯科特帮助推出了 海盗网络, PSC’s live-streaming athletics channel, as well as the college’s new esports team, the PSC Pirates. The 摄像 skills 和 business acumen he developed in 满帆的数字电影学士学位 和 娱乐商务硕士 课程帮助他在PSC取得成功.

Scott became interested in 摄像 when he helped out with production, 平面设计, web开发, 以及他在默特尔比奇的教堂的直播, 南卡罗来纳. 他已经获得了Web开发学位, but his experience with the church inspired him to pursue a degree in the visual arts.

“I re搜索ed quite a few schools across the country, 和 I kept coming back to [满帆] for two major reasons. Number one was that alumni would pop up in the different awards ceremonies, whether it be from gaming to the movie industry to the music industry. I felt like a school that had that kind of performance from its students probably had a good opportunity to educate me better. 第二部分是LaunchBox. 对于一个在这个行业苦苦挣扎的人来说, it's not cheap to go out 和 buy the equipment to get started. That really solidified it for me that I would have not just the education, but I would also have the tools I needed to succeed,斯科特回忆道.

斯科特刚刚开始从事体育直播工作, so he chose the 数码摄影 bachelor’s program to advance his existing knowledge of the production industry. He decided to add the 娱乐商务硕士 degree to help him exp和 Hellcat Productions, a company he’d started with a business partner who was a former Navy pilot.

Hellcat produced the first complete live broadcast of the Blue Angels Air Show at Pensacola Beach, then created a weekly live show for the Aviation Museum to maintain public interest. Simultaneously, Scott was working as a contractor broadcasting Pensacola State’s basketball games. He sold Hellcat 和 was hired full time as PSC’s Athletic 媒体 Director 和 Coordinator of 的电子竞技 a year later.

As the Athletic 媒体 Director, Scott creates visuals that help promote the school’s athletics. “我做一切与平面设计有关的事情, 摄影, 摄像, 体育赛事的现场直播, 和 just giving us an overall presence here for not only the attendees of the college, but the families that can't be here to watch their children play,斯科特解释道. 在这个过程中, I took us from live streaming on 脸谱网 和 YouTube to our own service on Roku, 亚马逊火, 和 Apple TV 被称为 the 海盗网络 to bring those sports 和 events to the public.”

Scott was also brought in to help launch the Pensacola State College Pirates, 学校新成立的电子竞技队, which is playing in the National Junior College Athletic Association 的电子竞技 (NJCAAE). He worked with the school to design the team’s arena, 未来的手机游戏推广巴士, 以及海盗队的整体品牌推广.

“We designed everything from the logo to the jerseys, 和 we have recruited 20 students that are on our team. They started competing on October 3rd… The NJCAAE has also adopted its own version of [simulation racing game] 清晰 被称为 高速公路, 和 we’re going to get a system from them 和 have a team competing,” says Scott.

Scott loves connecting with PSC’s student-athletes, 和 he hopes that his efforts will shine a light on their talents.

“[I like] giving the college the ability to promote them in a way that a lot of athletes aren't getting at other junior colleges or small colleges. 希望, 通过这个, we're able to help them go to the Division One level or professional level through some of what we're doing.”
