Women's Winter Tea

Hey guys! Before Christmas break I was asked to make a short animation that would give the details of a women's get together at Anderson University.  I spent most of my break working on this project and giving it some life.  I wrote the script and a new friend of mine, Michelle Parker, was willing to do the voice over! She did an excellent job!! The video was made in After Effects and the illustrations was made in Illustrator.  I hope you enjoy!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!  I hope you all had a great Christmas with many blessings.  This Christmas I decided to stay behind the camera...but not taking pictures.  I wanted to make a short film of Christmas morning.  I threw it all together right afterwards and came up with this.  I used Illustrator, After Effects, Final Cut Pro, and Apple Color in making the video.  I recommend you watch it in HD.  Enjoy!

DIY Shoulder Mount

Hey guys! I have been having a hard time keeping my Canon 60D stable while I shoot footage,  especially with my 50mm on.  So I did some research and discovered a shoulder mount.  This would be the perfect remedy! I didn't have a couple hundred dollars to spend on something that was basically a piece of plastic.  I decided to make my own.  I gave my dad the "blueprints" of how I wanted it to work.  He gathered the materials and we both made it in a night basically.  My dad added a couple more features which helped a lot.  It's made of plastic and medal rods.  Its super light and works like a charm!

If you have any specific questions on how it was made, feel free to email me!

Chris + Morgan Engagement

Hey guys! I was given the opportunity to shoot my brother and his fiances engagement session.  We had a TON of fun! This was my first engagement session - EVER!  I was a little nervous but excited at the same time.  I have been planning this for a while now.  I wanted to do a themed session but with just starting off, my resources are extremely limited.  We decided to incorporate the game Scrabble into their session.  The pictures turned out beautiful.  I am so happy for my brother and soon to be sister-in-law. I love them both!

Enjoy!
