VIDEO ART & PROJECTS
RESTRAIN, RELEASE
A cinematic approach to a simple action. The process for this project started with different styles and feelings and researching those. From the research, different methods to fit these styles were introduced in the piece through video editing, lighting, color, and audio. Over time, the purpose became to be about creating a short, powerful, and exhilarating experience from the simple act of sitting and standing, and to relate to different feelings in an efficient and robust manner.
YOU
A meditative approach to the present day struggle of finding importance in the self (you) vs. politics through methods of looping. Using an excerpt of one of JFK’s famous speeches and original music, the struggle is pushed through the progressive elements of color, volume, speed, moire effects, etc. The audio and video bond and create a hypnotizing and overwhelming effect, both referring to the self and politics respectfully.
OLD SCHOOL SWAG (IMPROVISED STREET DRUMMING/CLUB DJ PERFORMANCE)
The purpose of this performance was to basically combine the elements of a club DJ with improvised street drumming to create unique experience as a whole while making a statement on people that live on the street.
FLYING
The purpose of this project is to change the meaning of a fast paced swing dance. The video clip comes from a movie from 1941 known as "Hellzapoppin". I created my own original audio to accompany the clip to change the meaning to make the video feel entirely different than the original.
MAKING MUSIC WITH PERCUSSION
An original composition and compilation made back in 2010 to jumpstart my passion for video editing and music.
SK[EYE]SCAPE
A minimalistic approach to what light is naturally and how it is perceived. The eyes act as a base to the layers of sky and the video and audio are split in accordance to day and night. Subtle hints to the cultural aspects of social media and what is known as the “Information Age” enhance this outlook.
