About Me
Take a peak into my background and gain some insight on who I am and how I can contribute to you and your organization.
Hello, I'm Gavin Prather! I graduated from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County with a bachelor's degree in Fine Arts and a concentration in Animation. While pursuing my degree, I also competed in cross country, indoor, and outdoor track at a Division 1 level for 4 years before graduating in 2020. ​
​​
After graduation, I worked in the UMBC Athletics Department as the Creative and Digital Media Specialist from October 2021 to January 2023. In that position, I created content for all 15 of our varsity athletics programs as well as our main department's social media account. I also helped with game day operations, game videography, and created content for the arena screen during volleyball and basketball games. I also functioned as the SID for baseball cross country, and track and field on top of my responsibilities producing content.​​​​​
After my time with UMBC Athletics, I began my tenure at Creosote Affects as a Multimedia Specialist from March 2023 to June 2024. While at Creosote, I produced videos and social media content using my video editing and motion graphics skills for a variety of private schools, colleges, and more. Two of these projects were recognized at the 2023 Educational Digital Media Awards, winning gold awards in their respective categories.
In June of 2024, I joined the creative team at WebMechanix. While on the team, I produced short form video ads for several WebMechanix clients, including Amazon Photos.
As of October of 2024, I am the current videographer at the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, Maryland. In this role, I record videos of different lectures, events, and other needs of the museum. I also create videos for our exhibits, including the If Books Could Kill and Art in the Americas exhibits. Additionally, I am in charge of archieving all of our videos at the Walters.
​
​​Outside of work, I have a strong interest in music, both playing instruments and finding ways to incorporate music into my works as well. I also enjoy physical activities like running and lifting at the gym.
