WORK
CAPSTONE PROJECT
Producing and Promoting a Portfolio
This series of videos was created as a part of my final capstone project. I decided to produce a series of four different opening title sequences for fictional reality/competition shows. I came up with the individual concepts for each show, and then created a unique opening sequence for each show. I shot, edited, and created the animated graphics for each sequence. See my capstone page on this site for a description on how each video was created.

MY FIRST KILL
Short Film - December 2021
This short film was a group project for my Advanced Post Production class. The concept for the project was created by the group, and the script was written by me. I star in the film as the main character - the killer. I don't usually enjoy being in front of the camera but decided to take on the challenge. All scenes were shot using Nikon Z6 cameras. Both a tripod for static shots, and a Moza Air 2 gimbal was used. I also created the opening graphic using Adobe After Effects. Creating the blood effect was new for me, but it was surprisingly not that difficult to do using a series of preset effects, and I think it is effective. We also took a series of photos that utilized a green screen for the credit sequence. I also filmed and edited together the black and white montage sequence. This project was a lot of fun, and one of my favourite ones that I was a part of.
Rescue Tails
Conestoga Connected - Season 14
In the fall of 2021 I was able to work on the show Conestoga Connected which aired on Rogers Channel 20. For the segment entitled Rescue Tails I took on the role of videographer and script writer. For the third segment (above) I took on the added role of producer. For the main show itself, I was chosen as one of two supervising producers, as well as social media manager. It was my responsibility to ensure that all deadlines were met, rundowns were completed, and all shows were taped to time for Rogers TV. I also created and posted content to the Twitter and Instagram accounts associated with the show. You can see all segments as well as full episodes at www.conestogaconnected.ca
Morning Routine
Stop Motion
This video was created by taking a series of photos using the Nikon Z6 camera. The photos were then edited together using Adobe Premiere Pro. The timeline was set up at 24fps, with the duration of each photo being 12fps. It was a very challenging project, as I had never worked with stop motion animation before. The entire set was made using equipment from my local libraries Makerspace, inculding 3D printing the figures, and laser cutting the walls. I used a fun piece of music and some sound effects, as well as recording my own voice overs. It was a very fun project to complete, and I am proud of the finished piece.
FACTUAL STORYTELLING
Wrap - Idea Exchange Old Post Office
This piece of video was created for my factual storytelling class, and is a one minute and forty second wrap. It features many different b-roll shots from a variety of angles and distances. Each shot was properly focused and white balanced using the Panasonic HMC 150 camera. It also features three interviews, each of which were set up with proper interview techniques, such as head and lead room, as well as following the rule of thirds. There are lower third graphics added which follow basic design principles, adding a nice touch to the piece. The voice over is clear and concise, matching audio and video effectively to tell the story. All of the elements were edited together using Adobe Premiere Pro.

TRAUMA
Graphics Title Sequence
This one minute opening graphic title sequence was created using Adobe Photoshop and Adobe After Effects. I first decided to turn all the images black and white to keep with the serious nature of the medical drama, evoking emotion, and ensuring the tone of the sequence remained the same throughout. Colour was used strategically throughout the sequence, with red and blue text being used for the names, which coincides with the red and blue that was used in the custom wordmark at the end of the piece. Each of the text elements incorporates the effective use of masking, appearing or disappearing behind an object – sometimes with multiple masks being implemented. A custom wordmark was created for the title of the show with the letter T being reshaped into a caduceus symbol, by utilizing the pen tool. The images were placed in a sequence that flowed well with the music that was added. The slightest movement was placed on each image, adding visual interest. The image of the doctors in the hallway was achieved with various tools, such as cropping, scaling, and opacity. As they disappear the custom wordmark appears, again using scaling and opacity, along with an added track matte featuring the only coloured image in the sequence.
