theres been talk of video…here it is

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.

Big West Track & Field Championships

The Big West Conference Track and Field Championships was the last track event that I would be shooting this year. It was all the way up in Northridge but I decided to make the drive up because I hadn’t had a chance to shoot any photos lately and because the only other sport that was still happening was Baseball. I tried to shoot UCI athletes as much as possible but it was also nice being free to shoot whoever because I was not officially on assignment.

Check out some of the photos below and click here to see all of them.

busy shooting baseball

Spring quarter always keeps me busy with baseball. This year has been extra work as I have had to shoot video and photos at the same time. Every time I go out I look for different compositions, backgrounds, patterns, etc. Baseball is one of those sports where you have to wait around and be looking in the right place at the right time to get that amazing play. I go to so many games that I don’t have to wait for that amazing play, but instead move around and try to find an interesting angle on something that happens all the time. Here are some of my photos from the UCI games on May 4th and May 11th.

On the first night of Sports Shooter Academy VII there were no official events to shoot, but there was still a Volleyball game going on at UCI. I checked out one of the new D3s’ and a 400mm, then headed back to school. The ISO levels were amazing just like all the reviews, and shooting with a 400mm wasn’t to bad either.

shooting volleyball from close up, working on framing

Lately ive decided to go without the strobes, move closer, and challenge myself a little. In volleyball there are always players getting in the way. The ball moves extremely fast. Faces are covered by the next. The net steals the focus. But sometimes you need to work at it. Never settle.

Ants vs Eaters Baseball Feature

Jeff Cusick and Danny Bibona from the UCI Baseball team pose for a portrait.

During fall quarter I did a shoot with two of the UCI Baseball team players, Danny Bibona and Jeff Cusick. The article was about Ants vs Eaters baseball series, which is a inter-squad series of games to get them started for the season. The photo turned out pretty good and the photo editor and the sports editor wanted to save it for a later issue so that they could print it bigger and in color.

Long story short, it finally got printed in winter quarter but ended up not getting printed bigger or in color.

Below, assistants Marlon Castillo and Pratik Panda stand in for a test shot.
