The video for The Kyuki-Do Martial Arts gym is an example of a stepping stone into my stylistic discovery and commercial editing process. While I am proud of this video, I did learn that working on a rushed pre-production time frame should try to be avoided whenever possible, and a solid plan of attack should always be in place. These are things that I now discuss with any client before moving forward with projects in order to ensure that they get the best quality product possible.
A piece I'm very proud of, the Incandescent Sessions - Prairie Fires video had me wearing many hats. I was the DoP, Director, Set Designer, & Editor.
A venture into the world of episodic instructional videos, this video is meant to entertain and teach while also promoting Ada Street's hip and trendy atmosphere. In order to differentiate myself from other cocktail videos, I chose to create a more cinematic visual and incorporate movement with multiple angles.
Commissioned by Chicago's own Subterranean Bar, we were able to put together a visually stimulating, fun, and educational video describing the goals of the Green Festival. Directed and Edited by myself, and shot with the help of two other friends, Sean Bayer and Nicholas Rienzo this shoot was about a month and a half of planning and coordinating to ensure that the client got exactly what they wanted. In the end, the video was able to impress the local chamber of commerce to where the festival was approved to continue for years to come.
