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 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.

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.

On February 2nd I shot a mens volleyball game. For some reason I didn’t have my D3 and I was shooting video that night with Canon 5D MKII. It really made me appreciate my D3 for shooting sports, although I did get some good video footage. These first 4 photos are from that game.

UCI Mens Volleyball is finally back in season. Last year I found the spots where I like to shoot and where I knew I would always be able to get some solid images. I started off this year shooting from the same spot, although I would like to branch out and try to find some new angles for upcoming games throughout the season.

I finally got to use my strobes for the last Women’s home game of the season. It was in the Bren Events Center at UCI which also has higher locations to shoot from. One thing that I noticed from shooting up there were the reflections on the floor. From the angle that I was shooting at I could see the reflection of the fans in the stands right behind the court.
