Brainstorm #4

Board of Canada Music Video



Before the release of Boards of Canada's most recent album, this video was released as a promotion of sorts. The video featured what appeared to be a rough edit of cryptic images and scenery which had lated reappeared in the official video for their song "Reach for the Dead". 



I find these videos inspiring and thought provoking and I would enjoy making something similar for another band or musician.

Brainstorm #3

Koyaanisqatsi Inspired Time-lapse 


Koyaanisqatsi is one of my favorite films and it's one that has always mystified me since I had first seen it as a child. I'd really like to experiment with time lapse filming, slow-motion, or even intense camera height or angle, similar to the formal techniques exhibited in Koyaanisqatsi.

Brainstorm #2

University Dining Commercial


Another idea is to produce a commercial for one of the dining centers on campus. The concept would be simple and would aim to highlight the dining options available to students.

Brainstorm #1

Pet Food Commercial



One video idea that I have is to make a commercial for a pet food company. The video posted above is one of many clever and creative commercials made to promote Friskies cat food. It would be a fun challenge to make something similar with my own cat.
