A Screen Within A Screen
Is all that we see or have seen but a screen within a screen?” I shot and edited this for my Capstone final presentation. I did my paper on video technology and explored the idea that we are swimming in a see of screens with a sky full of digital eyeballs. This clip intro’d my [...]
True Blood PROMO
This is a project for my Motion Graphics class. I had to do a show package for a TV series. With this assignment, I’ve finally started becoming comfortable with After Effects.
Terry Gilliam: A Python’s Twists

Halloween 2009
This is the first opportunity to shoot video with my new D90. Natural lighting didn’t do it much justice but there was enough to play with to make an interesting clip from Halloween night.
Dawn of the Genre
The horror genre is an octopus category that tends to extend its frighteningly groping appendages across a wide scope of topic. It is this multidirectional nature that inevitably causes the birth of subgenres beneath the larger in an almost unending mutation of the previous. The variety of styles and conventions throughout horror film history have [...]
