Learning to Share

client: Colorful Mamas of the 99%

role: field producer, cinematographer, location sound, editor

I was contacted by the Colorful Mamas of the 99% to cover their planned action at Wells Fargo during Occupy Oakland. Aside from their activism, many Mamas were teachers, journalists and community organizers so were quite media savvy; they wanted a video to ensure the lessons of the day would be shared with more than just their children.

Kurbo - IxDA awards

client: Cooper

role: editor

Drawing on a range of assets including professionally-captured video, self-operated designer statements, and screenshots, I edited this explainer video for presentation at an awards event. Due to the varying quality of the raw materials, both aesthetically and technically, many of the assets required some combination of color grading and/or audio processing, reframing, stabilization, and animation to make a cohesive final product.

I was DP'd the shoot with additional footage a second camera and a drone; editing was performed mostly remotely taking notes from client via email.
