Shaw Extras

- Seeing what Evan Shaw has done at only 26 years old is extremely impressive. He has worked for NFL Films for years and already reached a life goal. We can all only hope to do what he has so quickly.

- But for someone who has done so much, Shaw is extremely humble. He has won Emmys, done lauded work and still says he's just "pretty good."

- Can you imagine being a 22-year-old college senior shooting the ceremony honoring Jerry Rice? It's unbelievable.

- The work Shaw has done here at OU has earned lots of praise. Fans online and at games speak of how much of an impact the video content makes, as did Jason Corriher and Courtney Cohen in the article. As a fan myself, it adds an invaluable element, especially being able to see highlights. Sometimes you have to miss a game and it's a great resource to be able to see video rather than just read a box score.

- Here are some of my favorite videos that Shaw and the OU Multimedia contingent have put together (besides the Ohio/Miami Rivalry video embedded in the article):

Shaw produces these 'Closer Look' videos each Monday. It is his way of going beyond the typical highlights that are produced right after the game and pull out the storylines and be artistic. The OU/North Texas one is a real gem.
