filming the aaqep conference
Film production in Utah can be very interesting! As a local Utah video production company, Levitate Media Group often gets inquiries from businesses or organizations about filming content, testimonials, interviews, how to videos or explainer videos from out of the area. It is always interesting to learn about new products, or new ideas these businesses bring to our attention.
Levitate recently filmed a conference at the Hilton Salt Lake City Center for the Association for Advancing Quality in Educator Preparation. (AAQEP)
quality film production sound
Robert Johnston contacted us to see if we were available to capture the testimonial interviews at the conference held on September 20th, 2023 at the Hilton Salt Lake City Center to capture their film production needs. There were 10 interviews to be recorded. Originally, they thought it would be best to rent a suite to record the testimonials. With over 10 years experience, we recommended recording the testimonials around various locations in the conference. Their main concern was getting good quality sound as it would be loud with much background noise. We assured them that by using high quality Lav Mics we would be able to get great sound in much more interesting locations. It would be much more exciting than having all 10 interviews filmed in a suite with less than ideal background.
Being a filmmaker and mainly focusing on film production. I have never given much thought to accreditations for teachers. It was interesting to learn about how fast the teaching environment is changing post Covid. During the interviews it was exciting to learn how educators from all across the country were working together on unique and innovative approaches to solve the various challenges in education post Covid.
Quality production interviews
We interviewed the President and CEO of AAQEP, Mark LaCelle-Peterson and also COO Linda McKee. The participants came from all over the country, they had different backgrounds and different needs. The film production looked great! Also, their insight was valuable and they spoke in the highest regards of their participation!
quality Education
AAQEP is has partnered with the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) https://iste.org/ to support educator preparation providers in preparing teachers to thrive in digital classrooms of a post-COVID world.
AAQEP and ISTE, the premier professional organization and standard-setter for technology in education at all levels, invite AAQEP members and other providers to participate on multiple innovative skills such as: Accelerating innovation in educator preparation. Preparing new teachers with the skills needed to use technology to be successful. Whether it be online, in person, or a combination of blended learning environments. They also encourage collaboration between Educator Preparation Programs and School Districts.
AAQEP members also have the option to pursue American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recognition for their school counselor preparation programs.They can do this by using the information submitted in their AAQEP Quality Assurance Report.
By taking advantage of this opportunity to receive national recognition and feedback from field experts they are able to increase educator credibility.

All in all it was a very good day! The interviews looked and sounded great, the feedback they provided was very useful. We were pretty tired by the end of the day, but that is how it should be!
