AJ approached me to replicate the "Verified" Genius video with my own style. This project was more than just fulfilling a client’s needs—it was a significant learning experience. It pushed me to explore text animation and slide movement, and also introduced me to green screen work. This project not only met the client's expectations but also expanded my skill set, showcasing what HCP can achieve and adding a new skill to my repertoire.
The story in this video highlights the meticulous care we put into the quality of our products physically. Simultaneously, the video itself reflects the dedication we invest in our work—showcasing our attention to detail through lighting, framing, sound design, color, and composition. This project is a testament to the high standards we uphold in every aspect of our production.
Jerrod Pearsun asked me to craft a one-take concept to visually narrate the story of Luke 18:9-14. Using top-of-the-line equipment and a small team, we executed a single-frame story that establishes a unique cinematic perspective. This approach sets us apart from the simpler, less stylish work often seen in Portland, showcasing a distinctive look and feel tailored to the artist.
"Wrote this piece connecting three moments of bittersweet bliss: An ideal childhood play-battle, one final vacation taken with a lover, and a delve into family archive by melding footage of the aunts playing in a garden as children.
An ode to the tides cyclically modifying their surroundings as the present becomes an echo heard by another, born from many conversations with Eshia, Julia, Emma, Jules, and Kristen."
