About

Vini Araujo smiling, holding a cinema camera on location

It was a seasonal job as a video production assistant with the Dolphins and Hard Rock Stadium. I ran the switcher for The Finsiders on FOX Sports Florida, shot game and postgame footage, and helped build the studio before each game.

In 2016 I moved to YOUmedia, a program of the Miami-Dade Public Library System, and stayed almost six years. I started as an instructor. As Media Specialist I produced videos, motion graphics, and digital campaigns for library programs, and taught workshops on video, photography, and making media.

I joined FAU’s Media and Innovation team as a Multimedia Producer in 2022 and became Senior Producer in January 2026. The work is for online courses, continuing education, and university marketing. I set the creative direction, run each production from the first request to delivery, and mentor the producers, specialists, and student employees on the team.

I also test newer tools like generative AI and LED-volume virtual production, and use them on a project when they make it better.
