ABOUT LEE!


Lee

Hello everyone! My name is Lee Vaughter and this is my website. I am a Video Production Specialist, which is a very fancy way of saying I make videos.

My fascination with video started when I took a communication class in High School. I taught myself how to edit with Final Cut Pro, and from then on I haven't stopped making videos.

After High School, I attended the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point (UWSP). My major was Communications with an emphasis in media production and my minor was Web and Digital Media Development. You can view most of the videos I created in my production classes on the Videos page on this site. While I was in college, I was also the Content Director for Student Television (basically I handled the technical side of things).

After graduating in 2008, I began working at UWSP as Video Production Support. I make videos for any and all departments that need them. You can see many of these videos on the Videos page on this site.

I also started an independent wedding videography business called Vaughter Weddings. During college, numerous people asked me to videotape their weddings for them. Afterwards, word spread and I decided to make a website.

Since I've started doing a lot of independent work, I've had to buy some equipment and software. First of all, I have a Mac because Windows just doesn't cut it! I have a Sony PD-170 Video Camera, a tripod, a wireless mic system, a homemade boom mic, a homemade steady cam, and some production lights. The software I have and use includes: Final Cut Pro, Soundtrack Pro, Color, Motion, Compressor, DVD Studio Pro, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Flash, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Dreamweaver, and Adobe Illustrator.

Filming is more than just a way to earn a living for me, though. It is something that I truly love doing. Ever since I've had a videocamera, I have been making movies. When I was younger, I made a variety of films with my best friend Brock. We made many different short films together under the name Brock & Lee Films. From Star Wars lightsaber battles to Christmas specials, we did it all. Two of our most famous movies (among friends) were: Brock & Lee's Wild Wisconsin, where we played a couple of Australians in Wisconsin looking for the Hodag (this is not on this site because of the use of copywrited music), and leeface The Creeping Fear, which we made the summer after starting college. The Creeping Fear stars both Brock and myself and can be viewed on the Videos page on this site. Since my days of Jedi and zombies, I’ve only improved and have made many other films in college and beyond (you can see more details on the Videos page). I have also been the Director of Photography for two Wisconsin filmed movies and don't plan on stopping any time soon.

But there is more to Lee than just video production. I also dabble with Web Design and Graphics - it was my minor after all! You can see some of my work on the Web Design page and the Images page on this site.

That's all for my professional life so far. I can't wait to see where it goes next. If you would like to offer me a multi-million dollar job, or if you would just like to talk to me, visit the Contact page.
