This video features me in my role at Trinity. It was filmed and edited by a co-worker, who works with students at Trinity to produce a bi-weekly broadcast called “Trinity TV”.

I used Photoshop to create layers in this photo, and to “cut away” the edges of the sign using the clone stamp tool. Then, I imported the entire file (with layers) into After Effects to give it the 3D effect, using the Camera layer and keyframes. Major kudos to my Adobe After Effects instructor, Faraz!!

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9bBzgE0Eng?rel=0] I took a 3-day Adobe After Effects class last week, and it was absolutely amazing!! After the first day, I spent about half an hour that evening getting to know the interface on my own. I used this picture (below) of my friends’ baby, used a mask to outline the flower, a tint…

Here is the two-page outline I followed this morning as I operated two cameras during “Wagon Train Extravaganza”, performed by Fourth Grade students at Trinity. It was quite challenging. I definitely had to be “on it”. They moved fast, among three places on the stage: right, left, and center…for 45 minutes. I had one camera…

Visit my Video Gallery to see the production in its entirety. I also created a Flash version, which includes a…

The beauty of my field of work is that it constantly changes. That's what keeps me on my toes. I was so excited about my video being public and easily accessible from our home page, but the time came today to change that button that I was so proud of creating!! Not to mention the…

Last Friday (11.13.09), this year's Artists-in-Residence program at the school where I work came to an end. I was asked to produce a video recapping the program (which can be viewed by clicking on the screen below - about 18 minutes long). Producing an 18-minute video from 240 minutes of video footage and over 1,600…

Most people who know me know that I used to be into acting quite heavily (in high school). While I was voted "Most Photogenic" during my senior year, I was told by classmates that I was in the running for "Most Dramatic" (NO COMMENTS FROM THE PEANUT GALLERY). What many of those same people don't…
