Ryerson University's Bottled Water Free Campus

Ryerson University is on its way to becoming bottled water free by 2013. I was brought on to film the orientation week events and compile a short 30 second - 2 minute video highlighting the bottled water free campaign, and to help explain what the campaign is aiming for. The video was shot in HD, though was compressed for easier webstreaming. Enjoy!

KAV - "Shake It Like You Hate It"

Below is a music video that I worked on as a production assistant and as part of the art direction team. Interior studio shots were on location in Toronto, while exterior shots were in Mississauga - both on a RED camera. You can check out the band's official website at www.kavblaggers.com, enjoy!

Let's beach! 2010

I was hired to film and edit together a short promotional video for a fundraiser event called Let's beach! 2010 (taking place on June 27 at the Balmy Beach Club in Toronto, ON). Organized by Beaches Living Guide (www.beachesliving.ca), the event was a great place for neighbours to mingle, enjoy live music, discover local businesses, and raise money for Children's Wish Foundation. I had a great time, and really enjoyed putting the video together, which is featured on the event's official page - http://www.beachesliving.ca/pages/gallery/Letsbeach2010/ Enjoy!

"Not in Nottingham" Audio for Video Assignment

In second year Intermediate Audio we choose a scene from a movie, erased the audio, and entirely recreate the sounds and dialogue from scratch. Paired up with Christian Deo, ProTools LE, and the Foley room, we spent hours creating, recording, and editing sounds. We began by recording the song, "Not in Nottingham", in which Christian sang with layered guitar tracks. Once that was done, we moved onto the sound effects which included everything from rain, to footsteps, to chains on the ground. Last was the ADR work, with which we manipulated voices to make them suit the characters (like raising pitch to make a more "mouse" voice). Enjoy!

ElectriCITY Documentary

Directed by fellow student Constance Chan, this documentary focuses on electronic music and bloggers in the Toronto, Ontario area. I was on location as a videographer, shooting on a Sony HMC150. While this clip is the teaser trailer, there are links within the video to the full-length documentary. Enjoy!
