This video is an assignment from an Audio Production course I took. The professor gave us this clip from a film that was previously shot and edited, not by me. He just gave us the bare clip though, with no dialogue or sound effects, no sound at all, and we were to add all the dialogue and sound effects ourselves. He gave us a script so we knew what to say for dialogue, and we also knew when to add the sound effects. I had to record most of my sound effects live myself from various locations ...

One of the hardest assignments I was given was the task to make a foreign film. We had to create an idea for a film, and model it after the way a certain foreign country makes their films. We had to reflect the way they typically shoot their films; the way they look, the angles, the color, the sounds. We looked at several foreign films to get ideas, and I settled on making a French film because I happen to be taking French that semester (still couldn't speak it that well at all though, as ...

For one assignment, we had to create our own music video. We had to write a song and either sing it ourselves or get someone else to sing it. Luckily, my friend Pat played guitar and volunteered to sing also (although it's not very melodic). Now, me being a college student, the only idea I came up with for a song idea was beer pong, so I wrote a song about beer pong. I just wanted to do something funny that my fellow students would laugh at and talk about later on with their friends. I ...

This video is confusing, many people don't understand it after their first viewing. I usually always have to explain it to everyone, so heres the plot. Our teacher gave us an article about this millionaire businessman who bought this multi-million dollar apartment way at the top of this apartment complex, like the 80th floor or something high like that. We talked about it and decided he did this to make him feel more powerful, like hes standing on top of the mountain and everyone else is ...

This is a short 30 second commercial to honor Patriot's Day. I was required to fit the Paul Revere poem into the commercial, and have someone reading it in a creative way. I believe I got very creative with my idea, it had my roommate going to his computer and thinking there is a pop-up, but instead it's the Paul Revere poem and he ends up reading it to himself. It gives the message out to honor Patriot's Day and remember how America was founded and what we went through to gain our freedom ...

This is an example of the first news package I ever shot and edited. It was for my TV Production class, where our class had to produce a news cast each week, and we all had to shoot news packages for them. I especially liked all the shots I used for this package, and I think they flow well and really assist in telling the story. We also had to shoot several interviews, and I had to do a stand-up at the end, although my talents are certainly not as a reporter. I feel that this a professional ...

This is a video of my friend Pat packing his suitcase and getting ready for his spring break vacation. The focuses around him packing his suitcase, and I try some new work with the camera I really like, for example when I take the point of view of one of the shirts in the suitcase, and you see the next shirt falling from pats hand to right on top of the camera. The twist to the video is that Pat is going on a trip to Acapulco, Mexico, and once he gets everything packed and thinks he is all ...

The topic my teacher gave me for this video was to create a short film about a college student believing that his roommate is a space alien, and show how he went about discovering that his roommate is a space alien. I had my actual roommate Andy act in this film, and had him believing that I was a space alien, and he tells the story of how he thought I was acting very strangely, so he followed me after class one day, and discovered me walking motionless into the woods at a nearby park (and I ...

The topic of this video was to highlight an important invention throughout our history, and create a remake of its first commercial ever. I thought about it, and what invention is more important than the remote control, I know I would be lost without it. So I wanted to create a fun commercial for the remote control, and I believe I did just that.
