Shot Breakdown
The demo reel is comprised of six works from 2003 to 2006 and showcases a variety of skills. I play bass on the audio track too.
Cathedral Mirror / 2003 / 3:20 / DV NTSC
One man project here – behind and in front of the camera before editing and grading in FCP: Super stylized dark but calm sensibility. Shot in Victoria, BC.
Halo / 2006 / 3:10 / HDV 1080i
My first major time lapse piece shot on Sony’s Z1 with about an hour compressed into 3 minutes during sunset. In After Effects, I masked out the shimmering tree and slowed its rate of luminosity decrease to achieve a glowing effect. With the single shot, we have another meditative piece. Shot in Victoria Park, London UK – pre- to post by me.
Split / 2003 / 2:30 / DV NTSC
Grading and simple compositing here in FCP – another one man show. Victoria BC – all credits are mine.
That Which is Night / 2006 / 2:33 / HDV 1080i
The most logistically complex of my London shoots: it involved piecing together multiple photographs in Photoshop, to produce two final images that were animated together. The photos had to match exactly with the only difference being one was at day and the other was at night. In AE, I animated a smoky dissolve between the two with some complex animated masks and multiple filters. Slow meditative feel. Shot in London. I covered all aspects of this production except the acting.
Soham / 2006 / 1:35 / HDV 1080i
Almost completely animated in AE, this piece used very little live action. I used many layers of text masked to match the 2d dimensions of the objects in the scene. London. Again, I’m in front and behind the camera. Longest render yet.
The Carpet Coast / 2006 / 2:05 / DV PAL
Lastly, this simple and effective piece showcases some composting of clouds over the artificial horizon of the wall and floor in AE and FCP. Shot in London. All facets of the production were created by me.
