SKILLS
MULTICAMERA EDITING
While editing "Let's Go Away (Drums)" I had to juggle multiple shots of the same drum performance, and put them together in a way that not only felt natural but exemplifies the performer's skills. To edit the project, I had each angle labeled and imported them into my editing software, put each angle in a different layer and focused on the shot that best represents the part of the song that the footage lines up with.
TAKING DIRECTION
While working on an episode of MHTV's improv show "On The Spot," I hosted the show and introduced what games the improvisers were playing. I spoke with the director about what she'd like from me, and as I hosted the games she gave me directions on what to change to more clearly relay information from the showrunners to the audience.
DIRECTING TALENT
For some of the projects I've worked on I've stepped up to direct actors who would be performing on camera. With my project "Saving No Shave November" I had to direct an actor who wasn't very comfortable in front of the camera, but with our discussions of what I wanted to get out of the project and what he was comfortable doing I was able to get captivating emotional and physical performance from the actor.
CINEMATOGRAPHY
When I worked on the music video "Earth Sound," I scouted for locations that would best fit the narrative of the song. After finding places that worked, I captured the actor's performance in a way that complimented and added a visual narrative to the piece. Some of the shots had me running through the woods, the camera shaking to represent the chaotic portion of the song, and another section had me using a skateboard as a dolly to capture certain shots.
SCRIPT SUPERVISION
I am currently working on as the script supervisor on a project called "Always Watching." My position has me communicating with the director the order in which we shoot scenes and talk about what her vision is for the scenes. A big part of my job is paying attention to continuity between scenes and days we're shooting, so the wardrobe, props, and actors all stay consistent and there are no obvious errors in continuity.
LIVE PRODUCTION TECHNICIAN
I was in charge of running the livestream of a Trap Door Improv show on 1/29/22 on the software and hardware level. I used OBS on my laptop and streamed the performance through the improv team's Facebook account. I used my Sony A6400 on a tripod and multiple microphones set up on either side of the stage to capture the performance. I was in charge of making sure the performance was properly broadcast, and was prepared to fix any issues that could potentially arise.
