Shot and edited this video on iPhone6 for the Central Florida Future as a senior staff multimedia reporter. I used Hyperlapse along with iMovie and put together a concise story on a UCF advanced makeup class and how they lifecast and create their own prosthetic for their theater performances.
Pitched this multimedia project and went to Eatonville and reported on the annual "ZORA! Festival." I wrote a feature article, which went along with two slideshows from photographs I took at the event. It also included a video I shot and edited on iPhone6.
Showreel showcasing my work in documentary filmmaking as well as corporate and humanitarian filmmaking and video editing, animation, voice over, and more.
I shot this video on Canon XF 305 and edited, color-corrected, and finalized it on Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, and Adobe Audition. It was published along with an article I wrote for AAAS, which you can read here: aaas.org/news/newsroom-stints-help-scientists-engineers-polish-skills
Shot this video for AAAS for an article piece on the White House Easter Egg Roll. In the "Eggsperiment Zone" on the South Lawn of the White House, children could participate in science activities, and AAAS volunteers helped children learn about science and fitness.
Shot and edited this video for AAAS about its Lemelson Invention Ambassadors Program. This was a teaser which linked to a series of 10 individual videos of the ambassadors discussing what inventions would most help society today.
