Bits to make a video.
WORK SAMPLES
Michigan Antler Chews Demonstration Video
This small business hired me to make a demonstration video for Michigan Antler Art and Chews. First, I discussed with the client what he wanted and how I could meet his expectations. Then, I wrote the script, did the voice-over, and edited it in Adobe Audition. After that, a shot list was compiled, followed by filming and editing the video in Adobe Premiere, all done by me.
Short Film: Memory Lines
The skills that were required were scriptwriting and script supervising. I wrote the script and guided the directors through the script. I received feedback from directors and actors about the script, made changes, and made suggestions while filming. I assembled a production binder with detailed information about the scenes, script breakdown, and dates. I assisted with finding props and keeping continuity on the shots.
MI State Parks PSA Production Packet
The skills that were required for accomplishing was looking up information about Michigan State Parks and the natural wildlife they protect. I broke down the information and used it for my script. With the completion of the script, I was able to draw out a storyboard. The storyboard was able to guide me on filming. I took various shots and rated them to my liking. As it was time to edit, I turned back to my shot list and sifted through my footage. The script, storyboard, and shot list made the process easy to edit and get done in a timely matter.
Christmas Music Video Production Packet
The skills that were required for this project was pre and post-production skill. I had to demonstrate that I could write a full script for a music video. Finding the right location and camera placement for the shot and draw a step-by-step process for the storyboard. I had to find props and place them in the right spot for continuity. With each recording, I reviewed the footage and wrote down my overall rating on a shot list. I used Adobe Premiere to edit the footage using color-correcting, fading in and out transitions, and cuts.
Other Work
Bible Series: Next Door
The skills that were needed to make this was understanding how to create a TV series properly. I had to figure out who and what the main character is and build an ideal world around them. Making audiences understand the world the character lives in. The outline has all the information about the characters, premise, and storyline. The Next Door is written in two different ways a standard tv show script and a webisode. Understanding scripts will help me to know what the producer or director wants in a film.
Michigan State Park Radio PSA
This PSA is a class project that I was required to finish. Had to create a PSA script and use Pro Tools which I have used before this one of my best work. I had to record and edit various parts of the audio. The audio had music, sound effect, and voice-overs. All of the audio needed to be leveled, meaning the voice-overs could be heard over the background music.
Unmasked Short Film
In this short film, I was required to act. I needed to memorize lines, timing and follow what the directors would have wanted. I had to place objects back for continuity and for reshooting. With a better grasp of the position on acting, I will pick up actors' habits. Acting has made me realize something in editing. It can help me point out details that the actors need to work on in a scene or pick on something they have missed. It will improve muscle memory and find continuity errors.
Looks Matter Short Film
In this short film, I had to be one of the main characters, assist with the crew, and work on editing the footage's sound. There was little time in making the film due to one of the actors dropping out of production. I had to practice managing my timing and working efficiently; by doing that, I would reread my lines or set up the props while the director was looking at the footage. The footage had unwanted background noise, so I used Pro Tools to record my voice over the original footage and edit out the unwanted noise.
