MY VIDEO PRODUCTION ORIGIN STORY
I’m David Lee Whitty III. I was born in Orlando, FL, and I graduated from Eustis High School. As a sophomore, I took a class called TV Production. This is where my journey with videography began.
My senior year of high school was filled with a variety of video projects such as weddings, documentaries, short films, and podcast episodes. Also, for the first time in my life, I was hired to create a commercial for a local business.
Does it hold up as the best video in the world? No, but it was a start!

FILMMAKING AT FSU
When applying to colleges, I had one place in mind: Florida State University. Here, I studied a variety of video production skills: stop motion animation, documentary production, graphic design, 3D animation, 360° videography, and narrative filmmaking. In 2021, I graduated with a degree in Digital Media Production.
Right out of college, I was hired by the FSU Film School. I worked with Tom Mikota, an animator who worked on blockbuster movies such as Avatar. He was helping the Film School build a high-tech new lab for Virtual Production at FSU’s Torchlight Center. During that process, I worked as a researcher and content creator. It was an amazing opportunity, and a fun milestone in my journey!
WHITTY MEDIA GROUP
After completing my time at FSU’s Torchlight Center, I moved on to MARZ: a visual effects studio based in Toronto. My position entailed editing training videos about new software. During that time, I prepared to start my own video production business. I received my drone pilot’s license and registered Whitty Media Group LLC.
In November of 2022, I began a full-time commitment to running Whitty Media Group!
Since then, work has brought me literally all over the world. In July of 2023, I shot a commercial all the way over in Taiwan. In February of 2024, I completed a corporate documentary in Nova Scotia. Many incredible gigs, however, were completed not far from home. I’ve worked with farmers, educators, investors, tech companies, real estate agents, and more!
Looking towards the future, I plan on continuously enhancing the quality of my services. I also plan on reaching more people and telling more stories through video production!
