Contract work & a wedding video!

Grateful for all the support, advice, and opportunities I’ve received throughout what has been a chaotic and whirlwind moment in my life. I’m still looking for full-time jobs in a less stressful environment than what I most recently experienced, but am fortunate to have several contract opportunities to work on in the interim.

Included in this growing set of projects was a wedding video for my friend and former coworker Katrina Youngs and her husband Ryan Youngs. They really allowed me to run with ideas and craft something special for them that I would consider a more “Indie” approach to a wedding video. Being a podcast-aholic, I really took a lot of inspiration from WNYC Radio's RadioLab and NPR's ThisAmericanLife, and wanted to blend that with what I consider to be somewhat of an Apple approach to storytelling. I shot ninety-nine percent of this with a Ronin S gimbal, a Sony A6500, and a DJI Pocket 2. Also recorded audio with my poor man’s Sony voice recorder. Edited it in Final Cut Pro. All that considered, I would love feedback on the final production so I can improve for next time.

A huge thanks to Ryan and Katrina for hiring me to document your celebration and create something for you two that I am so proud of. Special thanks to Sheila for being my “assistant” during the experience, and for accompanying me to practice her camera skills! Additional thanks to Matt Wilson, the Youngs’ extremely talented photographer for being so easy to work with throughout the day and planning process!
