My work this semester explored themes of nostalgia and personal experience through moving image. I experimented with different recording methods, from professional cameras to my iPhone, using these variations to develop my visual style and better understand how image quality and camerawork can shape emotional tone. I’m particularly interested in how resolution, texture, and composition can influence the feeling of nostalgia and the way memories are perceived. Across my projects, I often return to ideas of isolation, memory, and personal reflection. I enjoy working with animation and moving image to create immersive experiences that feel both familiar and slightly distant, allowing space for viewers to connect their own experiences to the work.
Premiere
The Woman - This video plays with the effects that Adobe premiere offers. The recording was based inside of the Mueseum and Art building at Indiana University. With combining different videos from teamwork, we all created a different plot from them. Focusing on the woman, it pushes a plot with clips that are unrelated. This leaves the video up for interepetation and shows that meaning does not have to exist till the final product
Premiere
Warehouse - This video was based around the concept of sound. It introduces someone working in a warehouse at night, with boxes that fall without explanation. It explores digetic sounds and the use of cuts throughout the scenes. The video explores the themes of Horror, play, and director cuts.
