I consider myself a hobbyist videographer, but frequently this talent ends up useful in my career! At my most recent jobs I’ve directed, edited, and shot publicity videos, product showcases, exercise videos and more!

I shoot using a combination of personal, rented, and university equipment, and the variety of environments and gear I get to use keep things varied and exciting.

Here’s an example of some recent work I did for EverActive!

My largest project to date was a quadcopter video intro shown at the product design final presentations live in front of 2000 people. The content is designed for a 40’ by 10’ projected screen, hence the 4:1 aspect ratio and oversaturated colors. I collaborated with two video editors in the final stages of production who had prior experience with the particular event to tailor the experience better. I shot around half the clips used in the final cut using our lab’s Mavic 2 Pro and Phantom 4 Obsidian, and have around 10 hours and 30km miles of flight experience with DJI drones.

Additionally, I did a majority of the technical filming for my product design capstone TAship, including all the 4k or slow motion gimbal footage, and a majority of the drone footage. That work can be seen on the 2.009 youtube channel.

For a time, I filmed and edited dance cover videos for the MIT Asian Dance Team. It’s challenging interacting with the choreography in a natural way that adds value to the video and grading the footage to match the vibe.

Here’s two more videos I worked on. For a time ‘Get Cool’ had the most on the Dance Team’s Youtube channel, due to the popularity of the song, fun colors, good dancing, and timely release.
