I have talked recently about doing a lot of video work. This past quarter I have been working for the UCI Athletics to create a promo video that sums up all the sports programs here at UCI.

The process included writing a script, a shot list, scheduling times to meet with athletes and teams, building a track and dolly, shooting, editing, reviewing, editing, and exporting.

The video was Narrated by Don Brantley.
The script was written by Ian Massey.
Pratik Panda was the main assistant.
CP Phan recorded the audio for the voice over.

Without the help of these people the video would not have turned out so well.

This is an example of the work I can produce. I am graduating in June 2010 and am looking for jobs.

Below, a screen shot from the basketball locker room.

Usually when I shoot basketball I sit on the baseline or set up remotes. At the Mens Basketball game on February 20th I decided to shoot from the stands that are behind the basket. This choice was partially influenced because I was shooting video from that angle as well, but I liked it a lot and got some good shots.

I work for the UCI Women’s Basketball team doing game filming. I have two associates that I work with so I often get to go down on the court and also take photos. Here are some shots from a game in February 18th against UC Riverside.

change of plans…change of rules

Long Story short, I went to set up a backboard remote at a Men’s Basketball game, had everything setup perfectly, was forced to take it down an hour before the game, set up a overhead remote, got some shots, left a little disappointed. I guess backboard remotes are no longer allowed at our arena….

With the assistance of Ian, Panda, and Lee, I was able to get everything set up quick and easy.

UCI Men’s Basketball guard Michael Hunter poses for a quick photo before warming up to play UC Riverside.

I took an assignment to shoot a feature photo of UCI Basketball player Michael Hunter. We tried to get some time with him by contacting the communications person that handles Men’s Basketball, but because of the short notice they said that there wasn’t any time. I decided that I would catch Hunter sometime before the game. I got there a few hours before the game when the team was shooting around and let him know that I needed to get a quick shot of him before the game.

While he was gone I set up one softbox in the narrow hall where the locker rooms are. I didn’t have much room to work with and I wanted to keep it simple. I had two photographers, Lee and Rashmi, helping me setup. In the photo below, Rashmi stands in and tries out a few poses.

About an hour before the game Michael came back to the Bren Events Center and everything was already set up. I already had the pose decided and all he had to do was stand in. I did the first shot with just his street clothes on.

After a few shots, he went into the locker room and changed into his uniform. When he came back out we took a few more shots. This is the shot that ran in the paper, although I liked the previous one a little better.

I shot the photo for the New University’s story on the UCI Spirit Squad coach, Tiffany Chen. It was a quick shoot in the back of the Bren Events Center after a mens basketball game.

I always have an assistant, this time Panda, stand in for a few test shots..
