SOUNDCHECK: The Importance of Grassroots Music Venues (Documentary)
SOUNDCHECK: The Importance of Grassroots Music Venues
Soundcheck was my own personal graduate project, in which I was the producer, director, asssistant camera operator and editor. It was a passion project and allowed me to explore topics that were personally important to me. During this project, my crew and I were able to meet amazing people, shoot at some brilliant locations and learn about a topic which is not spoken enough about.
PENDANT (Fictional Horror)
Pendant was a great learning curve for me in both production and post-production. It was the first large scale fiction film that I had worked on, as well as the first horror. It was an excellent experience on the creepy sets of this film, which included an abandoned prison and a graveyard. As an editor on this film, I had to ensure the creepy vibes of the shoots translated into the edit. Overall, it was a pleasure to work on and one of the projects I'm proudest of.
Students During a Pandemic (Documentary)
This was another project completed during the pandemic, and focuses on students in university who had been affected. This is one section of the three part documentary which got the opinions of 1st,2nd and 3rd year students. The brief for this piece was to make it as part of an exhibit, which is why the end title card tells the audience to enter another pod to view the other parts of the documentary. I edited and interviewed people for this piece.
Kasha (Documentary)
This was one of the first films that we made in university, and was a really interesting piece about a two-piece Russian group called 'Kasha", who used used traditional Russian music with a modern spin. Their story was a really interesting one to capture, and was especially challenging as the interview was conducted in a different language. For this piece I was a camera operator and editor.
