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.

This was another game where I was shooting both video and photos. Since shooting video is a higher priority right now I only shot photos for a short time. Here are some of my shots.

The other day I was shooting UCI’s Mens Waterpolo team. The game was at 12pm and it was hot. I got most of the standard shots, which turned out pretty good. I think next time I need to try to get something different. I need to challenge myself.

I arrived to shoot Womens Waterpolo at 6:02pm, two minutes past the start of the game. I also was going to leave early because I had to go over and shoot Mens Volleyball at 7pm, which required me to get there early in order to turn on my strobes. I quickly pulled out a borrowed D300 and the newspapers 300mm f2.8 lens. With the sun beginning to go down, I positioned myself near the back of one of the goals with the sun behind me. This is where I stayed for most of the game. I was glad to be shooting waterpolo again and even more happy to be shooting it while the sun was still out.

The sun was just about gone and a large shadow was beginning to cover the pool. I changed positions to the opposite side of the pool and tried to get a silhouetted shot before I had to leave. The glare off the water was harsh but I tried to make it work. I had time for a few click and then had to head out.

Every time I shoot a water sport I am reminded of how much I like shooting water-sports.

…and every time I use a nikon it grows on me a little. Especially when I can use one with a 300mm 2.8.
