Media and Film
[Examples of Media field experience]
Seeds Of Stem
Seeds of Stem is a curriculum structure for children to learn valuable science, technicalogy and math concepts. I was hired to create a promotional and informative video showcasing this structure and highlighting it's importance. This docustyle piece gave me the opportunity to work filming interviews of subjects which involved shot framing, lighting and sound collection. I later edited such media using free to use software such as Davinci Resolve, Audacity and GIMP for graphics.
Seeding 101
This educational botany workshop was filmed live in front of a participating audience. It was a challenging but unique experience to be moving around during filming, actively searching for a good shot of what the speaker was presenting; not to mention with four different cameras! Editing this piece in Adobe Premiere was quite fun. I was able to create multicam nested sequences of the various camera angles and learn more in depth about the features the software has to offer.
Alien - Scene Recreation
This shot for shot recreation of the classic sci fi thriller Alien, was by far the most fun I've had on a video project so far in my career. To pull this off, I had taken part in almost every role including set design, props, shot composition, actor casting, directing, and of course editing. I worked with a practical effects artist to create the Chest-burster and most of the gore in the scene. This was edited using Sony Vegas, After Effects, and Audacity.
