Deadlock US
February 16, 2014
This is a short documentary film I made for the Camden International Film Festival course. I wanted to tap in to the feel of the documentaries I became so attached to as a kid, so I decided to use found footage. It took several drafts and countless hours of searching and editing to arrive at […]
Photography
February 16, 2014
Since college started, I haven’t done that much still photography, but since it is still something I enjoy it deserves a place in this portfolio. The first photo (the cover for the site) was for a homework assignment in IMD320, and the second two photographs were taken as part of my film database project for […]
Self-Generating Music
February 15, 2014
I have always wanted to combine my loves of music and coding into one project, and that is what I attempted to do here. This was my final Max/MSP project for NMD430 (Electronic Music). What I did was break down the music production process into small chunks, then tried to automate the process of composing […]
The Abstract Art of Living
February 15, 2014
This was my final paper from HON112. I enjoy analyzing art, and I took the open ended nature of the assignment do just that. I am proud of this paper because I set out to do something crazy, and succeeded. Read on and you will see what I mean: Since the time of cave men, […]
Ice Cream
February 14, 2014
This is, for all intents and purposes, the first film I have ever made. It was the beginning of the semester, and I was assigned to “tell a story” in the form of a short video for my IMD320 class. I shot for an hour or so, just improvising and giving directions to my friend […]
The Interview
February 14, 2014
This is a short film I made in NMD104. When this project was assigned, my teacher emphasized the importance of varied shots, so I used the opportunity to do a bit of experimentation with camera angle, distance, and shot duration. I directed, shot and edited the film by myself using Adobe Premier, and used Reason […]
Various Graphic/Web Designs
February 14, 2014
This is a series of projects that I completed as part of NMD104. All three of these projects were made in Photoshop with a little help from Illustrator. The first two are website designs, the last is a mockup for a movie poster. I may not be the best graphic designer on my first draft, […]
Lose that Girl
February 14, 2014
This is my final animation for ART370. The only part of this not done by me was the music, and the entire project took me roughly a day. It should be noted that this was only my second attempt at organic-looking animation, and my first with cameras in Autodesk Maya.
Cultural Shift Project
February 14, 2014
As part of NMD100, we were supposed to envision a technological advance and how it would affect society. In my group, we took this beyond mere projections and made it into a conspiracy theory. The technology we chose was augmented reality glasses (like google glass), and, well, just watch – it gets weird. I did […]
Squall
February 13, 2014
For my final project in NMD102 I was required to use an Arduino board along with a software of my choice to make something, and so of course I decided to make a game. I ended up rigging my Arduino with a light sensor, feeding that information into Max/MSP, then sending the data to Unity […]
Flight of the Dragon
December 10, 2013
For this IMD320 (film technology) project we were given a snippet of How To Train your Dragon, and we were supposed to strip the audio and replace it with our own effects, music and dialogue. Here is the video as well as a slightly edited version of the soundtrack I made (again using Reason 6.5)
Recorded Sound goes Dubstep
December 10, 2013
In NMD100 we did a series of “day in your life” projects. For one of them, we were supposed to take field recordings and assemble them into a coherent whole. Needless to say I got carried away. I used Reason 6.5 for the drum track and a couple elements of the dubstep drop, but the […]
Civilization Song
December 10, 2013
This is a song I made as a final for HON111. A companion to an essay, I presented it to the class as a way to illustrate both the diversity and coherence within a civilization. The philosophical component aside, this was basically a musical experiment for me that allowed me to try out a wide […]
That Game Soundtrack
December 10, 2013
The final group project for COS125 was making a game. Aside from coding the prototype and aiding in both level and character design, my most “visible” contribution to the final product was the game’s soundtrack. I made this from scratch in Reason 6.5. Title Screen: In Game Score:
