The Win: ETHS Basketball vs New Trier

This is a documentary about my high school's basketball game against our rival. I tried to capture the sense of pride and unity in our diverse community. It went viral in my community and was shared on Facebook about 200 times. This video was filmed on my Nikon D5500 using a Glidecam HD-2000 and a shoulder rig. There are also a few drone shots from a DJI Phantom 4 I borrowed from my school. I edited the video using Adobe Premiere CC and Adobe After Effects CC. I also used Photoshop on the photo animations.

City of Bikes

This is a video about Amsterdam. I subtly focused it on the abundance of bicycles in the city. I tried to use the music to help tell a story. This video was filmed on my Sony RX 100 Mark V with a Zhiyun Crane-M stabilizer. I edited this video in Adobe Premiere CC and also worked heavily in Adobe After Effects CC. I really tried to use this video to experiment with a lot of animations/effects I could add in After Effects.

Sparklers Cinemagraph

This is a cinemagraph which is a cross between a photo and a video. It is designed to loop continuously. I made this by filming a short clip of myself holding a sparkler. Then I froze the whole video except for the sparkler, and I made the sparkler fade and loop.
