Hello, Sinclair Broadcasting…

My name is Donald “DJ” Mirisola. Check out my portfolio below!

So… here’s what I do.

I’m a technical creator with a passion for large scale projects. With a background in both Audio Visual Engineering and Digital Storytelling, I combine the solutions of A/V with the creativity of Film. I reside in the heart of Washington D.C. and I love merging new technology with video and audio. My passion is creating content regardless of platform and connecting with the viewer when telling a good story.

Here’s some projects I think the Sinclair team might like:

Graduating COVID

This production was created for MCTV’s Outlook Montgomery Project. In this video, I completed all aspects of production entirely while quarantined. This documentary was created using traditional Zoom messaging software, and a Panasonic GH5. The motion graphics and animation were generated in CreateStudio & Adobe Creative Suite.

Food Insecurity

Originally created for the show MC in Focus, this animation was created using using open source .mogrt templates and Character Animator rigs. I used this project to showcase and highlight the power of design and merging elements to tell a story. I wrote, directed, produced and edited the final piece. It was edited using Adobe Premiere, Adobe Audition, Adobe After Effects and Adobe Character Animator.

#RADIOCAMPER2020

Tasked with covering the perspective of U.S. citizens and the election, Radio-Télévision Suisse had two journalists travel from the southern border to the northern border. I was put in charge of all video production that accompanied every radio and web story. These videos were pitched, produced, shots and edited in an 18 hour turnaround time. These videos went on to capture a combined 10,000+ view across their social media and web channels. Videos were produced using a Panasonic GH5, Samsung A51 and were edited with the Adobe Creative Suite. I assisted and worked on all aspects of this production.
