THE NAME
I WAS INFORMED THAT YOU NEED MORE THAN JUST A LOGO, YOU NEED AN ANIMATION. OF COURSE EVERY BIG PRODUCTION COMPANY HAS THEIR LOGO ANIMATED IN SOME WAY. WELL I HAVE A THING FOR THE NOSTALGIC, AND THIS IS A ROUGH CUT OF MY ANIMATION. I LOVE THE SOUND OF A MOVIE REEL PROJECTOR, AND EVEN ITS CLIPS, SPOTS AND CRACKLES, ITS NATURAL AND I ALSO WANT A TOUCH OF THE MODERN WITH THE GLOW. THIS CLIP IS THE FIRST STEP TO BIG THINGS!

PARANORMAL SEEKERS
THE PROJECT THAT STARTED IT ALL. THIS WAS A SENIOR PROJECT DONE BY MYSELF AND THREE OTHER STUDENTS. I WAS THE PRODUCER AND LEAD CINEMATOGRAPHER ON THE PROJECT. I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE FILMMAKING PROCESS HERE. AS A PRODUCER YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL ASPECTS OF THE PRODUCTION FROM START TO FINISH. IT WAS MY FIRST TIME IN THAT ROLE, AND I LEARNED JUST HOW MUCH TIME AND EFFORT IS NEEDED FOR ANY SORT OF PRODUCTION. THIS WAS A THREE PART PARODY SERIES WITH AN INTERESTING STRING OF EVENTS.

CHARLOTTE 48HR FILM PROJECT
WHAT DO YOU GET WHEN YOU HAVE A BARBER SHOP, A BALL, AND A BUNCH OF PEOPLE WHO JUST WANT TO MAKE A MOVIE TOGETHER - TEAM COMMON STRANGERS. YES THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME ACTUALLY MAKING A SHORT FILM FOR A CONTEST OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL. THE TEAM WAS MADE UP OF PEOPLE WHO JUST WANTED TO MAKE A MOVIE, WHAT WE GOT WAS A CONNECTION OF DIVERSE PEOPLE WITH MANY DIFFERENT TALENTS WHO CAME TOGETHER TO MAKE A SLAPSTICK COMEDY WITH A GREAT MESSAGE. IT JUST EMBODIED WHAT THE FILM INDUSTRY CAN DO - IT KNOWS NO AGE, RACE, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, RELIGIOUS BACKGROUND. WE CAN COME TOGETHER AND BRING OUR MANY TALENTS TO CREATE SOMETHING!
