My Projects
This is an assortment of projects I've completed within my time at school. These have all been great learning experiences for me, directly applying skills I've learned in class to turn into a full fledged production in a short period of time. All of these projects I have reflected on and learned from. I'm ready to advance the next time around.
BNE Student Production Awards Winner: Best Music Video. Hope You Like Roses - POWDER

Hope You Like Roses - POWDER
This is my first ever music video that I am very proud of. I had this idea a few months prior to starting my Music Video Production class and am very happy to see my idea become a reality. Hope You Like Roses's song, Powder, is based off of the character Jinx from the Netflix Series Arcane. Being a fan of the series, I had a lot of fun experimenting with effects and the look of the video to fit the Arcane universe. This was a hard project to pull off and I wouldn't have been able to do it without help from my Assistant Director Jazmin Morris and everyone else who showed up to be apart of the video. I'm also incredibly grateful to Jess Finn for her help and input on every step of the creation process and the rest of Hope You Like Roses for being a joy to work with.

Permanent Installation Project
During the my second semester at Blackbird, I was tasked with a permanent installation project where we had less than a week to create an hypothetical installation from scratch. We each had $60,000, the dimensions of the room, and the client's list of requests. I had a lot of fun with this project and learned a lot along the way about speakers, amplifiers, processors and all the math that goes with fitting them together in a room. I ended up making some silly mistakes like not having enough racks for my gear, but was proud that everything mathematically worked and I didn't miss anything dire. I really enjoyed laying everything out in Excel and creating the signal flow diagram.

Lily's World
Lily's World is a representation of what my cat does when I'm not home. I wanted to enhance her movements with music, almost animating her in the process. I took audio samples of her and incorporated them into music I created using Logic Pro. This was my first time using Logic for a full length production. I enjoyed experimenting with the sample library and seeing the boundaries I could push.

Podcast Project
During ProTools week at Blackbird, we were split into teams of two and tasked with creating a 30 minute podcast. There were varying restrictions and requirements including topic transitions, editing requirements and 2 commercials from other classmates. This project taught me a lot about ProTools key commands and how to be a faster and more efficient editor. We laid down the idea, recorded and edited in 3 days, ensuring all requirements were met.

The Sounds of Steven Universe
This is a semester-long project I embarked on with my friend, Marcella DePina. Together we did research on the franchise of Steven Universe, deep diving into thematic concepts within the show and its music. We focused on the 4 main characters, Steven, Amethyst, Garnet, and Pearl and how the music in the show reflected them as characters. We then created our own pieces of music based on our findings. We wrapped the whole thing up onto this website to showcase our work. Check it out!
