I’m Jack Ball, a dedicated photographer and videographer now based in Abingdon, Virginia, with a passion for crafting compelling visual stories across a wide range of creative projects. I specialize in narrative film storytelling and editing, bringing both a cinematic eye and an editor’s precision to every project.
As the owner of Rocketship Productions, I’ve created high-quality visual content for a diverse group of clients, including Rampage Wrestling, Lufkin Zoo, LoneStar Backyards & Buildings, Texas Tech graduates, Communities in Schools, and The ToothFairy Foundation. Beyond client work, I’m also the creator of Frightening Fictions TV, a YouTube channel where I write, produce, and showcase original short horror films—an outlet that lets me explore genre filmmaking and push creative boundaries.
I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Texas Tech University with a B.A. in Creative Media Industries, where I developed a strong foundation in cinematography, editing, and color grading. During my time there, I edited and color graded films featured in festivals and competitions, including Mimic (H2C2 48-Hour Film Festival) and The Fool Who Tried (senior capstone). I also wrote The Griever, Texas Tech’s first feature-length narrative film, set to premiere in Fall 2025.
Whether I’m editing a gripping short film, producing cinematic content for nonprofits, or collaborating on original narrative projects, I bring a deep commitment to storytelling, creativity, and emotionally resonant work. As I continue growing within the creative media industry, I’m excited to keep telling stories that leave a lasting impression.
