Prank-A-Tour 2005 was the second time this student-run event had been staged, and everything about it was bigger and more ambitious than the previous year. All told nearly 100 students participated in the fundraising, planning, and execution of this massive event. In addition, a complete DVD version of the event was planned from the get-go.

I was brought on as the chief editor, DVD designer, and post-coordinator for this effort. My job was to take the 7 un-synced cameras' footage and edit it down into a concise, comedic, "as-it-happens" documentary of the event. Additionally, I coordinated with another editor to produce special features (including a commentary track with the directors) and make a DVD. This DVD was then distributed to the participants and sold to interested students to recoup costs and raise money for campus service organizations (including the Student Ambassadors, who lead the tours like the one we pranked).
