ABOUT TRAVIS CLYDE
PRODUCER, WRITER, DIRECTOR
All the infantry spots were full. This was bad news for me. Who thinks of being a Marine and sitting behind a desk?
I skimmed the M.O.S (Military Occupational Speciality) list and saw 4641 Combat Photographer. I couldn’t believe it. All of a sudden I was ok with the fact I wasn’t going to be infantry. I told the recruiter to sign me up. He clicked his pen and made a paperwork error that would change my life forever.
I graduated boot camp and entered the Defense Information School in Ft. Meade, Mayland and would wait for my turn to pick up class to become a Marine Photographer. I spent my time working job details or being confined to the barracks. A month passed, then another month and I was still not in class. It was frustrating watching new Marines picking up class and beginning their careers. I told myself to be patient. It’s the military, there’s obviously a system.
I attended the graduation ceremony of Marines who I had been there twice as long as them. It was then that my patience had run out.
I met with my Master Sergeant and told him I had been at Ft. Meade for 6 months and hadn’t begun training. He looked it up and saw that I was not scheduled for any upcoming course. He pulled out my recruiting folder and discovered my recruiter’s error. Turns out he had inked in the generic M.O.S number 4600, which was the whole field of combat camera and not the specific number of 4641 Combat Photographer. My Master Sergeant told me there was not an opening in photography in the foreseeable future. He gave me the option of either waiting or taking the current opening slot in the upcoming videography course. Without hesitation I chose the latter. Even though I was not happy I wasn’t doing what I wanted to do, I was tired of being in limbo.
On the first day of my video course, the instructor played a video on the history of filmmaking. Probably no one else cared but it inspired me and I thought, “I might be right where I’m supposed to be.” I never looked back and I have dedicated my entire being to perfecting my visual telling skills. Having the successful career I’ve had, I look back and think that my recruiters’ error wasn’t absent mindness, it was fate.
Travis does an incredible job from start to finish with creative insights and professional work. He is great to work with and ensures the finished product is exactly what you hoped for. Reasonable in pricing and a gem for the SE Idaho community.
We had such a wonderful experience working with Travis. He was professional and on top of it. He came prepared and ready to go. He created 2 amazing videos for us that really told our stories. We absolutely loved the final product. I just can’t say enough how pleasant he was to work with.
Very high quality work from the early creative stages to the final cut. Travis works diligently to not just make a video or a commercial, but to create a lasting piece of meaningful work that motivates, inspires and tells the story of each company or organization involved.
Our team had such a positive experience working with Rumorfy Media for two videos. We enjoyed the process of working on location and having Travis’ expertise to guide us through each shoot. He has such incredible talent for taking your concept and turning it into a visual masterpiece. He is a pleasure to work with from start to finish.
