Augmented Reality Novella

This video is just a small demonstration of the augmented reality novella I made for my senior thesis project with my two partners. It was an idea I came up with in order to best utilize all of our talents while allowing all three of us to do what we were most interested in and including a strong and unique layer of interactivity. It highlights my skills in team leadership as well as writing, video editing, directing, After Effects, story-boarding, creative ingenuity, and even some acting. I could have just posted some of the original files or static images, but I feel the magic of the project is only expressed when you see all the elements come together. Chris Gregoria was my writing partner and co-star, and Danny Shaw was the videographer who handled most of the major graphics work and also did much of the filming. All three of us worked on directing and editing.

I chose to analyze Tales of Xillia , from the Japanese Namco Tales Studio; Bioshock , and to a lesser extent Bioshock: Infinite , from American game developers Irrational Games; and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt , from Polish studio CD Projekt Red.

Video Editing

These are samples of my video editing skills. I utilized Final Cut pro, After Effects, Premiere, and Audacity, The videos are also in order from oldest to most recent so you can see how my skills evolved over time. The first video is a very campy trailer for an action movie called urban samurai. It was the very first attempt at video editing complete with effects and an audio track. The second video was made for a TV studio class that I took. It features a segment on DIY dormitory decoration. The final video is an unused segment from my senior thesis project - the augmented reality novella. It features some of the most complex work that I had done in After Effects during my time in college.
