Synopsis:
After a skating accident that leaves Claire resting in the infirmary at the boarding school, she writes a letter to her best friend George. As she is writing this letter, she remembers all they have done together throughout the years.

Software:
Narration of Claire’s voice was done by me through the Sound Recorder tool on my laptop. I used Audacity to mix, shorten, and control the volume of different audios. The video was created by using Microsoft Clipchamp and was uploaded to 1080p. The titled card was edited by using BeFunky.

Synopsis: In “Diner Conversations,” the audience finds itself trapped in the uncomfortable role of a perpetual third wheel, forced to witness the turbulent on-and-off relationship of their friends Jane and John. As Jane and John navigate yet another rough patch, the audience is forced to deal with the discomfort and unease that comes with being caught in the middle of their dynamic.

Content & Creation: All the visuals shot for this project were filmed on my iPhone 12 Pro, with the assistance of a tripod to capture more difficult shots. For the voiceover, I provided the voice for “Jane,” while my partner voiced “John,” and a mutual friend voiced “The Audience/Narrator.” Apart from the voiceover audio, all other audio was sourced from ccMixter. The majority of the video was edited using Vixer and polished using Microsoft ClipChamp. Filters and special effects were obtained from Vixer and Microsoft ClipChamp, respectively. The audio was intentionally sped up on Microsoft Clipchamp to enhance the overall discomfort felt by the audience, including the distorted audio of the original background music, which was edited using TwistedWave.

Audios in the video are Creative Commons, sourced from incompetech and Freesound.

Synopsis: From the first perspective of a camera, this story expresses its four-year journey with its owner, capturing precious moments across diverse locations with a wish to remain by her side forever. Despite ultimately succumbing to wear and tear, the camera believes it has completed its cherished mission.

Content & Creation: All visual content for this project comes from my own videos and images taken within these four years. The voice-over was self-recorded and all other audio elements were Creative Commons assets from incompetech and Freesound. This video was edited using Final Cut Pro. All animations for camera perspective were made with Final Cut Pro effects and transition including SLR, Fisheye, Simple Boarder, and Flash. All broken-down scenes were also made with Final Cut Pro effects including Bad TV and Gaussian blur. The split-screen effect was made by changing keyframes for 3 pictures. For motion graphics, the film frame was drawn by Adobe Photoshop and moved by changing keyframe together with photos in Final Cut Pro. Title slides were also created by the film frame with Bad TV and typewriter effects.

Synopsis: Around six people go missing on the Appalachian Trail each year. Are you one of them? Take a drive with me and find out.

I developed this digital story using DaVinci Resolve. I had previously used it twice before (once for our media project and again for a personal project to practice). I did all my editing – including sound and video – in the software. For my Missing Poster visual, I used Microsoft Publisher.

All the footage was recorded on my phone while vacationing in North Carolina a couple of years ago with my wife (who graciously volunteered to be my face and hand model).

Synopsis: A dry erase marker reflects on it’s legacy and expresses a desire to leave it’s mark on the world. However, it is able to come to the conclusion that the life it lives is more important than what it leaves behind.

This video was created using OpenShot. The script I wrote was recorded in Audacity. I shot all the footage myself using an iPhone.

Synopsis: During World War I, an English soldier and a German soldier meet in a quieter sector of the Western Front during the December 1914. These two men experience the Christmas Truce together and fall in love before being parted by the war. They experience tragedy, but both live and they meet again in London in 1922. 

Notes: All images were found online. Some were edited using Canva. I produced the narration from an AI narration service, PlayHT, which gives full commercial rights to the prompter, as with most AI services. I used iMovie to create this video.
