Orlando, Florida / Creator & Attractions Attendant

Hi, I’m Alex.

I make videos, write, and build tools people can use.

I’m Alex Traynham, an Attractions Attendant at Epic Universe and a UCF Entertainment Management graduate. My work runs from YouTube videos and content pitches to radio-codes flashcards and hands-on training aids. I’m working toward digital content and marketing, with a lot of practice making things people can watch, read, or use.

Starting UCF's Evening MBA in Spring 2027.

A few things I’ve made

Start with the work.

The full collection
My original GeoGuessr video thumbnail
My Wayside SMP Minecraft thumbnailMy Beat Saber video thumbnail

Original thumbnails from my channel. Gaming, music, and a lot of learning by making.

01 AtrayGaming / Published work

A gaming channel.
A piano cover.
An unexpected pattern.

I started AtrayGaming in 2014 and published more than 300 videos by October 2026: gaming, piano covers, Beat Saber, and streams. I handled the ideas, editing, titles, thumbnails, and publishing. Looking back, six music-related videos account for about 54% of lifetime views. That gives me a specific question to investigate: what brought people to those videos, and what kept them watching?

02 One Group, Different Speeds / Independent concept

Your friend wants the coaster.
You don’t.

That’s the planning problem behind my Celestial Park video concept. Two friends choose different rides, then come back together. The less thrill-seeking friend gets an experience of their own, rather than a scene of them waiting.

I wrote the brief, opening script, six-beat storyboard, thumbnail studies, and pilot measurement plan. Written concept; not filmed.

From my opening script

Friend A

“I came for the coaster.”

Friend B

“I came with you.
Those are different things.”

03 From Thumbnail to Turnstiles / UCF research

What happens after
the thumbnail?

My UCF paper asked how social content shapes the park visit people expect. All three survey respondents named ride previews and behind-the-scenes footage among appealing formats. That small sample gave me a direction to explore, not a conclusion about every guest.

The case study shows the original research, the limits of the method, and a planning-content sample I wrote from it. You can see both the work and what I would change next time.

At work

Sometimes the answer is a set of flashcards.

The radio-codes curriculum includes physical flashcards and a quick-match activity. I also helped bring product samples into training so new team members could handle what they were learning about.

Writing

The words are part of the work.

An opening exchange between two friends. A planning card for a park visit. Writing is where I work out what someone needs to understand and how to make it worth reading.

What I’m working toward

I’d like to make this kind of work with a team.

Digital content, marketing, and guest experience are where my interests meet. If there’s a project or opportunity you think I could contribute to, I’d like to hear about it.
