I have a special sense of humor. Just a little look into my life of helping on with a friends video project.

Sometimes I get really bored at Houghton waiting to do things. This is an example of what I do when I am bored and feeling motivated. Notice the "pleasentville" effect.

Steadi Cam

My college just bought their first steadi cam. Its pretty sweet but is taking for ever to figure out. These are the first shots I took with it.

Sometimes when I stay up late and night scary things happen. I had to wait for something to post so I could send a client the link. I didn't feel like watching a movie so I took some footage shot earlier today, or well yesterday now, and cut it together. Glad we can all have fun with each other.

Day Two of Test Shots

Round two of tests shots for a project I'm working on this summer.

What I'm doing this summer.

Click to Play

Well a lot of people have asked me what I'm doing this summer. Truth is I'm doing a lot of things and a lot of it is hard to explain, but this is going to be a major part of it. Today Dave, Charlotte and me went out into the woods to do some tests shots before the actors get here. Its was a good time and definitely helpful. Not sure if I'll keep posting from daily/weekly shoots but maybe.

Full Frame

Play

In April myself and two other students were given the opportunity to go to the full frame documentary film festival in Durham, North Carolina. It was great to go there and learn as well as see our professors video shown on the big screen. We got to do a lot of cool things and it was a lot of fun. We did have some major technical difficulties as far as shooting footage....aka I forgot the camera one day and tapes the next so this is random snippets from when we did have the camera. Not going to an academy award with the editing either. 9

"Belief"

Play

This is my final project for Daves class. Its an idea he really let me run with and I will continue to work on this project over the summer because its going to be my festival piece. I would love to here anyones thoughts. They will help me as I continue to edit and think about the ideas I want to communicate.

Well--I've been really interested in faith traditions latley and where our beliefs come from. I have the freedom in one of my classes to basically do anything so I am doing a large scale video documantryish type thing on belief. I set up the lights tonight and one of my friends was in the lab. He was kind enough to let me interview him. The audio sucks--I know. It was a on-boad camera mic. This wasn't meant to be a finished product just a lighting and angle test really. Let me know what you think.

Project for Digital Imaging. Good thing I am better at video editing! Oh attempts.

Reinforcements Needed

Click To Play

This was a project for my DV 1 class. We were asked to edit together a simple task with three camera angles. The story comes from the fact that my video camera has been broken since I bought it--its actually going back to cannon for its 4th time--and my overwhelming frustration with Canon. The idea was definitely inspired by my friend Dave Huths Vlog post entitled "Collaboration" (http://davemedia.blogspot.com/).

Human Trafficking

Watch the video

This is a video for a class I am taking at Houghton College. It is an interview with Kristin Wiebe who is the Director of Anti-Trafficking for World Hope International about human trafficking. The background footage was provided by World Hope International. The music was provided by Kevin Jackson. Andy Parks helped with filming and I did the editing and the other filming. I don't think this is the final copy of the video but its a start. Enjoy.

Surfin' Houghton Style

Watch the video

Well, with tensions running high and exams looming, something has to be done. Why not take a surf board and go sledding with two great friends. With my camera out of commission my roommate used her camera to get some great shots. :)

The Rose

Watch the video

This is a music video I did for thehungr a long time ago...I think about two years now. I was looking through some old media for a project I'm doing and found it. Enjoy. Feel free to let me know what you think if you do watch the whole thing. I almost want to say this is what I cut my teeth on because this is really the first big video thing I did. Word of advice--if you don't know what your doing...don't start with an 18 camera angle music video.

Houghton Ultimate

Watch the video

Well....so I saw a sweet video blog today (http://davemedia.blogspot.com/)and had a great urge to edit something. I had the footage of our home tourney for awhile now so I figured I might put something together with it. Heres a look into what it means to play Ultimate Frisbee for Houghton College.

Class Project

Watch the video

This is a class project I did for Blogs Vlogs and Personal Media. Kinda funny. Thanks Daren!

The Fatherhood of God

Watch the video

This is a video I did for Dr. Cases Theological Explorations in Youth Culture and Media class. Our task was to introduce the idea of God as father and to explain it as if we were explaining it to teenagers in a ministry setting. This was the video I edited to introduce the topic to the class as well as to get them thinking. This is probably the final post of this as the full version and I feel I need to at least thank a few people that kinda made this all happen. I had some great help doing the interviews with Bethany....helpful critique from Dave Huth...and Kevin Jackson produced all of the music for me. Thanks to all who helped.

Did I Mullen President Mullen?

Watch the video

The past two weeks I have been involved with this comedy show at my college called SPOT. Students put together various things such as skits and videos for the rest of the student bodies enjoyment. While we were planning all of this I was editing a video for Advancement of my colleges president. With some coaxing from the hosts and some friends I decided to make a video to introduce her live interview at SPOT. This is the chaos that ensued. The fist cut was a debacle. This is the final video. A big huge thanks goes out to Dave Huth for the final edit. He says "video is a long collaborative process, you put a lot of time into it to" I say he deserves all the credit. Enjoy.

President Mullen Project

Watch the video

Well--this is the video I did for Houghton this week. I would just like to note that I didn't shoot the footage or capture the audio. I did the editing, Dave Huth helped me by keeping me sane and giving me a few ideas, Kevin Jackson produced the audio overnight to pull this project off.
