Sculpture: Enclosure
This video documents a sculpture I created entitled "Enclosure." I have always been fascinated by humankind's driving need to impose order and control on the chaotic beauty of nature. We even turn around and impose it on ourselves, contorting our messy lives to fit into pretty homes and civilized jobs. So I took a quaint Victorian style house and reimagined it as a cage, complete with live inhabitants (who were not harmed in any way and were later returned to their real home).
Typographical Film:
The Power of Silence
This is my typographical take on Clint Smith's poetically powerful Ted Talk, "The Danger of Silence," about the need to speak up against bullying, apathy, and ignorance.

I used Adobe AfterEffects to create this video, which I chose for its excellent text controls, including timing, animation, and placement. The background is a reversed clip of liquid pigment dropping into clear water.
Stop Motion:
Big Hair, Don't Care
This stop-motion mini-film is a lighthearted look at being yourself, no matter at what anyone else says. I made it with the help of my friends using an iPad and the simple, intuitive Stop-Motion application.
Time Lapses
This mashup film was made using iMovie. I used clips available from National Geographic and timed it to the music to enhance the mood of the song.

iMovie is one of the simpler video editing software options for beginners.
