DJ Steve Porter Returns To Alma Mater To Create School Video With Students

DJ Steve Porter of PorterHouse Media has produced videos for ESPN, the NBA, the NFL, IBM, FedEx and many others. But perhaps no other work has brought him more pride than his recent project with his high school alma mater, The Williston Northampton Academy of Easthampton, Mass. PorterHouse Media was recently commissioned by the preparatory school to produce a video entitled “Williston Is . . . ” to use in recruiting efforts, and to show what an exceptional place Williston is to learn and live. Steve Porter, a 1997 graduate of the school, developed and oversaw a project which consisted of the school’s film class students shooting the majority of the video used of students, faculty and alumni finishing the sentence that began “Williston is . . .”  The class then worked with Porter in adding original music to the video, as well as editing the final cut. “Williston Northampton was an incredibly special time in my life, and to be asked to come back to develop a piece to further the great tradition of the school was a humbling honor,” said Porter.  “Working with and mentoring current students and seeing the excitement in their faces as we created the video was also something I’ll never forget.”
