Some creative work

Here are some links to some creative work I have done.

Videos:

“The Edge” – 9:05, (2014)  This piece is the first narrative short film I have ever made on my own. My role in the production includes writing, producing, casting (including auditions), directing, editing, sound, and color correction. Because I will be attempting to enter it into some local festivals, I have put a password on the video.

[NOTE: password is listed in the document version of the portfolio]

University of Iowa Reel – 2:07 (2013) This short reel reflects the student work I did at the University of Iowa. It is not a very good indication of the overall work as there are only images without sounds for the most part, and sound is a big part of what I do.

Jan and Al – 3:44 (2012) This piece was part of a sound-design class where each group received the same inane script and were charged with developing a different scenario for it. Our group chose “post-apocalyptic.” My credits are as follows: story (adaptation), producer, casting, co-director, camera operator for aerial shot, co-editor, co-sound editor, ADR director, color correction.

Look Out - 11:36 (2012) A short film by my friend Chris Metz. I was the sound designer and sound editor, ADR director. I also was a grip and sound recordist on set.

Dubuque St. Symphony – 7:18 (2011) A “city symphony.” I’m pretty proud of this piece from an artistic perspective. Director, cinematographer, sound, original music (except the piano), editor, color-correction. Edited using the AVID.

Minutelife – 1:09 (2011) A 60 second “biopic” covering a day in my life in Iowa City. Like the “Dubuque St. Symphony,” I am really proud of this piece from an artistic point of view. I had a cheap camera which I kept with me all day while filming. I am responsible for all aspects of production including the original music.

Fun with ADR - 5:19 (2012) An instructional outtake reel of sorts. This video features footage and sessions from the “Jan and Al” video above. It is meant to display the role of ADR in a production, as well as show the amount of work that goes into just one line of dialogue with ADR.

Dance at the University of Iowa - 10:04 (2012) A promotional behind the scenes video for the Dance Department at the University of Iowa. It is shot in the Verité style.

Somehow It Is Precious - 7:00 (2012) An experimental narrative short. I am really really proud of this script. Writer, director, producer, camera, casting, sound, editing.

Screen Memories - 4:11 (2010) My final project in my first semester. I really like the script. The piece also looks pretty good all things considered.

Bran and Park - 3:54 (2010) The single greatest learning experience I have had on a project. Every “modes” class produces a version of this script, where they develop a scenario and adapt it. I was the producer on this project.

We're not gonna lie – 21:44 (2010) A making-of piece covering the production of the “Bran and Park” video above. I include it here because it features me at work as a producer for this project (I did not help produce this video itself).

One-shot - 1:16 (2010) The first video I ever made. I have reproduced this camera move a few times since then with great success. There is 10 seconds of black before the video starts.
