I filmed this music video using an instrumental song my brother wrote and he is the one staring in the film. The song is called "You Don't Talk About Unicorn Fight Dungeon" and was written and recorded by him, Kasey Brown. For this shoot we used a combination of shoulder mount, a manually weighted steady cam rig, camera clamps, and tripods. I shot this using a multiple camera setup for the stationary and moving shots (cam A on tripod, cam B on the steady rig); additionally, the close up shots were done using small action cameras clamped to the guitars. Editing was relatively simple, we used a speaker playing a version of the song with a metronome lead in and simply matched that footage sound to the actual track. From there, I used the built in multi-cam system in Adobe Premiere Pro to build my edit and finally color graded for a semi-rustic look.

Dungeons & Dragons: A Look at the Players, is a small documentary that I shot interviewing a local D&D group to get an idea of what the game is like to them and the importance it has played in their lives. I set the interviewees up against a simple wall, lit with a simple three way lighting scheme. I sat in-between two cameras, the were directed to speak to me to avoid the feel of them talking at the audience. Above their heads was a shotgun mic which is the main audio, using audio ques I matched the footage from both cameras in post. B-roll was collected from one of their sessions as well as various free license sources, the same with the music. The opening sequence was done in Adobe After Effects using various still assets that were puppet warped to add motion and the fly through was done using the in program camera navigating a 3D space. The players were aware of the questions ahead of time so they understood the general story the documentary would tell, the voice overs were done by myself. Color grading was set to be a simple lighter tone and music was used to help direct a mood during certain portions of the interviews. Lower thirds name tags were done in Adobe After Effects as well and exported as an editable motion graphic for use in Adobe Premier Pro.
