This was a fun photoshoot that I did with UCI Track star Charles Jock. I went out looking for a cool location to shoot and came across the UCI boiler room for all the water that is distributed throughout the campus. I went in and told them that I wanted to use the facility for an athlete photoshoot and they said it was ok, so a few hours later I came back with all my equipment and a few assistants. It was a pretty cool location to shoot because it was industrial, unique, and there weren’t any disturbances. The place was really loud and I was pretty much shouting the whole time, but there were very few workers actually in the space and the ones that were there just worked around us like we weren’t even there.

Check out the behind the scenes video below!

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.

On April 24th at 12am I participated in the UCI 24-hour Mad Film Dash for the first time. Every year I have wanted to do it but I have been busy. This was the first year that I got a chance to participate and it was a lot of fun. Stressful but fun. I was on a team made up of several kids from my dorm. We were given three genres to choose from, those being Superhero, Drama, or Music Video. We choose music video thinking that it was going to be the easiest, although found that it was much harder than we had anticipated. Everything from the idea, script, filming, location finding, and editing were all done in 24 hours.

We also had to incorporate a reusable bag, a reference to the UCI Bookstore, and the line “There’s more to it than that”.

The video was shot completely on a Canon 7D and with a 50mm 1.8. We used a custom DIY dolly for the rolling/panning shots. For lighting, we just grabbed desk lamps and other lights from our rooms and just lugged them around form location to location.

Here are some shots of the crew at two of the music video locations.

I have been doing filming for the UCI Women’s Basketball team and have been asked recently to work on several other video projects for UCI’s Athletic department. Right now I’m working with borrowed Canon 5D MKII’s. I’m looking into getting a 7D and will hopefully have something of my own so that I won’t have to keep bugging everybody to borrow a camera.
