Reel

Artist's Statement: My main objective was to create stunning and captivating visuals that would have a lasting impact on the viewer. Reel is a compilation of three of my most recent videos: Los Angeles, The Fragile, and Insomnia, and opens with a motion graphic sequence describing my mission as a designer.

Sound is an important element in all of my pieces. It creates a pace, providing a template for me to follow. Adobe® After Effects® was used to edit all of the video, including the audio. The opening track is from The Man With The Golden Arm and I mixed two songs from D.J. Shadow, Building Steam With A Grain Of Salt and The Number Song to gain a more dramatic opening.
