Premiere

Adobe Premiere is a professional video editing software widely used in the film and television industry. Known for its comprehensive features and user-friendly interface, it allows editors to create, edit, and enhance video content with precision and creativity.

I first started using Adobe Premiere in university for various small projects and short films, and brought this skill to a side hobby of mine editing short videos for family and friends. While I don't have as much time to edit together videos these days, it still remains a passion of mine.

Timelapse Videos of Europe

This is the footage I shot on a two week backpacking trip on my own around Europe. This two weeks was a little vacation after a 1.5 month Simon Fraser University Italian Design Field School (Italia Design 2009) The Trip starts in Milan then goes to Zurich, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Paris, Pisa, then finally in Rome. This video had well over 6000 pictures taken for just the timelapses.

Timelapse Videos of Italy

This video portrays some of the amazing sights I saw during a 1.5 month Simon Fraser University Italian Design Field School (Italia Design 2009 Gruppo Sei) The Trip starts in Rome, then to Tuscany (Montepulciano, Orvieto, Cortona, Pitigliano, Dolciano), then to Florence, then finally in Milan. I would have to say this was the experience of a lifetime and I would say this video sums it up pretty well, but not enough. This video had well over 32,000 pictures taken for just the timelapses!

Light Painting Playground

For this project we were told to create a video from a series of still shots. At the time my partner and I were interested in the concept of "Light Painting" where a person would animate a streak of light in front of a long exposure picture. I came up with the concept to have this streak of light animate in a playful way, traveling through a playground, I was also the director and camera operator. This video was also chosen for advertising of a "Hansa Canyon" LED water faucet in a Tennessee Trade show. This project uses no post-production special effects, it was made with the light painting trick and alot of patience.

Italia Design Field Study
-

The Italia Design field study was an annual collaborative study on Italian design, and the context in which innovation can be inspired by culture and history. The experience in Italy was completely hands-on, and allowed for our group to personally investigate and interview many top designers, architects, and innovative thinkers, and the businesses they run. This allowed us to apply some of the theories and methods we learned towards various projects in field.

Dare to Dream

This project looked into the area of ambient video displays. The video display incorporated a concept of someone dreaming about people painting moving images along a white canvas which was displayed along a 40 foot projected banner in the campus hallway. My role was project leader when it came from initial concept to implementation of how it could be done. The process included creating a custom made large blue-screen using a tarp, setting up camera and lighting, painting red onto the blue tarp, then using after effects to key out the colors which were replaced with various timelapse scenes.

A Week Long at Alouette Lake

This is a personal video I made to showcase the timelapse photography I captured during a camping trip I went on with my friends. During this trip I experimented with night photography and a slow panning timelapse system I built using a telescope mount.

Extravagant Corpse
-

This project is a multi-user drawing game where people choose a square to draw on to complete a collage picture as a whole. The concept was based around a multi-narrative version of the "exquisite corpse" (a parlor game where people would each write a part of a sentence and pass it on to a person who would add on not knowing the complete sentence). This project turned out to be very successful and one of my favorite works.

My role in this was developing the initial concept team lead of four people and head programmer. In 2008 new features using an SQL database allows for automation of creating new "corpses" (canvases), email notifications, daily user drawing limits, and interactive completed "corpse" viewings.

In 2017 Reddit created a somewhat similar project named r/place which also involved multiple people drawing on the same canvas. The main difference, besides the immense size of the canvas in r/place, is this Extravagant Corpse project would designate and lock off a drawing area for a specific person to create their art within, where-as r/place would have everyone in competition to draw over each others artwork.
